Local politics

In the last local elections on March 15, 2020, Norbert Führer was re-elected as First Mayor of Wiedergeltingen and has therefore been First Mayor of the municipality of Wiedergeltingen since May 1, 2014.

The Wiedergeltingen Citizens' Association (Bürgerverein Wiedergeltingen e.V.) is represented as an independent faction on the Wiedergeltingen municipal council. In the 2020-2026 term, beginning May 1, 2020, our faction consists of Barbara Kugelmann (ul, pictured), Maximilian Kienle (um), Brigitte Roth (ur), and Dorothee Dirnbacher (ol). Following the resignation of Jacob Schilling, Judith Führer (or) will join the council as his next candidate on the party list at the meeting on November 4, 2020. This brings the number of women represented in the Citizens' Association faction to four, increasing the overall female representation on the municipal council to 33% (4/12).

Our candidates for 2026:

First row from left to right: Judith Büren, Jana Eschenlohr, Dorothee Dirnbacher, Sebastian Kugelmann, Hidayet Yeniasci, Barbara Kugelmann

Second row from left: Jens Wiethüchter, Maximilian Kienle, Norbert Führer, Jonas Weiß, Lukas Göttle

Results of the 2020 municipal council election:

What an election victory! With an increase of 12.18% to 41.28%, the Wiedergeltingen Citizens' Association has won 5 seats on the municipal council for the first time since the 1996-2002 legislative period. In addition to Barbara Kugelmann, Maximilian Kienle, and Brigitte Roth, two new members have joined the association's council group: Dorothee Dirnbacher and Jacob Schilling, who secured a seat on the Wiedergeltingen council with 311 votes from position 17 on the party list.

We are particularly proud of the heterogeneity of our 5 members, which is reflected in our 2020 municipal council candidate list.

The citizens' association Wiedergeltingen eV narrowly misses out on a 4th seat.

According to the Hare/Niemeyer evaluation method, which was first used in the local elections on March 16, 2014, the number of votes received by each party/voter group is multiplied by the total number of seats and then expressed as a proportion of the total votes cast. The number before the decimal point represents the so-called "safe" seats. If the resulting sum is less than the total number of seats to be allocated, then remaining seats are awarded based on the highest decimal value. If this value is exactly the same for several parties/voter groups, as was the case in the municipal council election on March 16, 2014, then the party/voter group whose candidate received the most votes receives the seat. In our case, this was the Free Voters. Thus, the Citizens' Association ultimately missed out on a fourth seat by a single vote.

As you can see from the 2014 evaluation according to Hare/Niemeyer, the Free Voters and the Citizens' Association have exactly the same decimal value, which represents the distribution of the remaining seats.
