Weinheims OB Manuel Just: Candidacy for District Administrator causes excitement!

Weinheim, Deutschland - in Weinheim is the order of the optimism! Mayor Manuel Just announced his project on Wednesday evening in the local council to apply for the successor of District Administrator Stefan Dallinger. Just, who has been at the top of the largest city in the Rhein-Neckar district for six years, will officially register his candidacy in February 2026 to take over the position of the district administrator because Dallinger no longer wants to start election. This decision was made in coordination with the CDU's district parliamentary groups, free voters and FDP, which already assured him of their support. Weinheim.de reports that just this option sees this possibility as a unique opportunity, which appeals to him, since it grew up in the region and has extensive municipal experiences.

What does the future bring for just? The 45-year-old graduate administrative economist made an impressive career in the local government: from 2002 to 2007 he was city treasurer in Rauenberg, then mayor in Hirschberg and mayor in Weinheim since 2019. "I feel grown up to the challenges in our region," emphasizes Just, who already acts as chairman of the board of the Sparkasse Rhein Neckar Nord. This versatile experience could be crucial for voters in the Rhein-Neckar district.

a strong backing

The support for Just is no coincidence. The district council, which represents the population of the Rhein-Neckar district, offers him a solid basis. Just in the past few weeks, Just has been looking for a conversation with the factions and introduced himself personally. His controversy views and unity in the district council, which secure a common majority, speak for a promising candidacy. Mayor Andreas Buske also expressed his respect for Just's decision, but regretted his impending departure from Weinheim and praised his leadership skills.

a look ahead

The upcoming new election of the mayor is expected to take place in spring or early summer 2026, which Weinheim presents an exciting time ago. The schedule for this is determined by the administration and already promises a hot election campaign. Just, who sits from a non -party position for the CDU in the district council, wants to fill the gap that Dallinger leaves, fill it and act as a link between the various political currents. Swr.de emphasizes that in May 2025, a total of 15 years served as a district administrator and with his decision for Non-reelection ended an era.

The district council members are elected every five years, and the last election took place on June 9, 2024. Every EU citizen entitled to vote aged 16 and over, who has lived in the Rhein-Neckar district for at least three months, can take part in this election, which will ensure a broad electorate in the coming months. Here politics comes alive and the course for the future is set. The political developments that are emerging here could have far -reaching consequences for the region.

whether just receives the necessary voices to succeed Dallinger remains to be seen. But the course is set to change and the citizens in the Rhein-Neckar district can be excited to see who will be in charge in the coming years. The support of various political forces suggests that you can count on Manuel - and maybe he will soon be at the top of the district.
