Erwin Promoli: New hope for Bad Schussenried as mayor!

Erwin Promoli, 62 years old and the new candidate for the mayor's office in Bad Schussenried, wants to bring a breath of fresh air into the city. Growing up in the Munich area, Promoli had an impressive career in business before moving to Bad Schussenried with his family in 2020. He describes the city as friendly and open and has now decided to get involved politically in order to actively participate in shaping his community. He is aware that the mayor's office is not a one-man show. Success, he emphasizes, is based on community.

His professional career is characterized by involvement in various industries, including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and automation. Particularly worth mentioning is his last job, in which he led a company in Upper Swabia out of bankruptcy and thereby gave 160 employees a perspective. Since 2024, Promoli has worked in the city administration as deputy treasurer, where he deals with important issues such as annual financial statements and budget planning. He would also like to bring this experience to the mayor's office.

Focus topics and visions

Promoli has clear ideas about what he wants to achieve for Bad Schussenried. A central concern of his candidacy is urban development. “We need attractive living spaces,” he says. He also plans to revitalize the city center and strengthen the local economy. He calls for responsible handling of financial policy and the implementation of sustainable development. Projects such as the modernization of gymnasiums and the connection of the city center to the railway line are at the top of his agenda.

Given the challenges facing many municipalities, Promoli addresses the need for environmentally friendly and generation-friendly development. He refers to the current debates on sustainability in municipalities, which are also becoming more important in Bad Schussenried. The discussion about the federal budget addresses strategic change to address the challenges of sustainability. Katja Dörner, the mayor of Bonn, emphasizes how important the local level is for the global goals, and Promoli sees this as an incentive for his own commitment.

Citizen participation also plays an important role for Promoli. “I want to involve everyone and rely on open communication,” he explains. He also wants to promote the strengthening of clubs and voluntary work. His own family supports his plans, and he deliberately submitted his application early in order to be well placed on the ballot. Information about campaign dates and other ideas are available on his website and Instagram.

Character and personal motivation

What drives Promoli? His hobbies such as tennis and mountain biking show that he maintains an active lifestyle. He also describes himself as thoughtful, team-oriented and able to take criticism. “I want to implement the best for the citizens,” he says, leaving no doubt that he is physically and mentally fit for the office. His goal is to build bridges and promote an atmosphere of trust in the city administration.

It remains to be seen whether Erwin Promoli can break new ground in Bad Schussenried. But his experience from business and his visions for sustainable urban development could definitely provide a breath of fresh air. Around the elections it will certainly be exciting to see how citizens will react to his plans.
