Olpe district: District administrator calls for an upswing against the impending financial crisis!
On November 5, 2025, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK) invited people to the “Olper Stammtisch” at the Hotel Diehlberg in Sondern. District Administrator Theo Melcher spoke there and spoke about the current situation in the Olpe district. “We must face the challenges with confidence and optimism,” emphasized Melcher in his passionate plea for the region.
In his opinion, the municipalities' financial problems did not arise from their own mistakes, but rather resulted from tasks that were decided by the federal and state governments but were inadequately financed. What is particularly worrying is the increase in the district levy, which has risen by a whopping 47 million euros in the last five years to now 178 million euros.
Priority spending and increasing demands
The district's largest expenditure is on social services and child, youth and family welfare. Integration assistance for people with disabilities also consumes a significant portion of the funds. Melcher pointed out that claims to benefits, such as the legal right to school accompaniment, and deployments in the emergency services have risen sharply due to a growing sense of entitlement.
“We need an upswing!” demanded the district administrator. In order to create the conditions for this, a fundamental change in energy policy is required. With the founding of the “Renewable Energy Investment and Development Company (EEBE)”, the district is already making initial progress towards becoming more independent of external energy sources.
Current trends and technologies at a glance
To a certain extent, protection against unauthorized access is also a current topic: WhatsApp Web now enables a password protection function that increases the security of your own chats and data. This new feature can be particularly useful when multiple people share a device, as it prevents unauthorized access to personal data - an aspect that is relevant not only for sole proprietors, but also for local companies.
The challenges are as diverse as the possible solutions. We can only hope that those responsible in the Olpe district will set the right course to enable the necessary upswing and offer the citizens a positive perspective.
