Rainer Röder will stay until 2026: Important decisions for Viersen!

Rainer Röder will stay in office longer: The technical department head of the Viersen district administration will not retire at the end of July 2025 as originally planned, but will stay until March 31, 2026. The district administration announced this in order to ensure a smooth transition within the top management after the local elections in September 2025. The incumbent district administrator Andreas Coenen (CDU) has announced that he will not stand for re-election, which creates additional need for clarification at the management level. The district council made the decision to extend it unanimously and was based on the need to continue to run the administration in a stable manner, as rp-online.de reports.

Röder, who took over the technical department in January 2022, brings with him 36 years of impressive experience in the technical service of the Viersen district. He is following in the footsteps of Andreas Budde, who moved to the city of Solingen. In his new position, Röder is responsible for various areas, including the Office for Building, Landscape and Planning, the Office for Surveying, Cadastre and Geoinformation as well as Technical Environmental Protection and Digital Infrastructure.

Important tasks in the context of the future

The importance of Röder's work cannot be overestimated. In view of the challenges posed by the climate crisis and digitalization, Röder emphasizes the need to bring these issues into the focus of the administration. District Administrator Dr. Andreas Coenen also highlights Röder's positive reputation and extensive experience, which could be crucial for the coming legislative period, as rheinischer-spiegel.de explains.

Röder will also take over the management of the Kreis Viersen transport company (VKV), which further underlines his responsibility in the region. This position not only requires in-depth knowledge of traffic management, but also an eye for future developments in the field of mobility.

Service point for citizens

Another aspect of Röder's work will be the further development of the service offerings for the citizens of the Viersen district. These cover a wide range of services that are important to the population, including advice on a wide range of topics and the issuing of disability cards. The district administration offers a clear search function on its website, which helps residents to quickly find the information they need, as kreis-viersen.de informs.

In summary, one can say that Rainer Röder, with his many years of experience and his commitment to the concerns of the Viersen district, will play a central role in the change in the administration. The coming months and years will be crucial for the development of the regional infrastructure and for dealing with the challenges of the future.
