Petitions committee debates urgently needed solutions in Bad Neuenahr!

On October 28, 2025, the Bundestag's Petitions Committee met in the town hall of Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler to discuss several important issues. The meeting, chaired by MP Marlon Bröhr, attracted both local representatives and interested citizens who were highly motivated to raise their concerns.

Among the petitions discussed was petition B 266 by Robert Füllmann, which dealt with a specific topic. The Ahr bottleneck in Heimersheim, brought forward by André Drever, was also heard. The petition was also presented by Alfred Förner, the parliamentary group leader of the FWG. He calls for the motorway feeder road in Ehlingen to be tunneled under in order to counteract the problem of flooding and heavy rain runoff.

Commitment and recommendations

The committee agreed that urgent action needed to be taken and offered its support. It should be noted that the committee itself cannot make final decisions; instead, he makes recommendations, which are then forwarded to the appropriate authorities.

The positive mood of the local participants and listeners shows that there is great interest in actively shaping the political landscape. The Petitions Committee acts as an interface between citizens and the Bundestag, as bundestag.de emphasizes. Since the founding of the Federal Republic of Germany, the committee has been responsible for addressing requests, complaints and suggestions to Parliament and thus allows citizens' voices to flow into political decision-making.

The path to the concerns

The concerns dealt with in the Petitions Committee not only reflect personal concerns, but also the general mood of the population. They act as a seismograph for the needs and concerns of citizens. There is a common petition portal that covers both the federal and state levels. Citizens can always find up-to-date information and contact details for the relevant petition committees at petitionsportal.de.

This active citizen participation is more than just lip service; it is an important part of democratic culture and shows how interested people are in their place of residence and its development. The meeting in Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler proved once again that local political participation is not only possible, but also necessary.

It remains to be seen how the committee's recommendations will be followed up and whether support for the concerns will actually be translated into concrete action. The listeners are optimistic that solutions can be found together.
