Holzwarth is running for third term - strong plans for Winnenden!

Winnenden, Deutschland - In Winnenden there are current news from politics: Hartmut Holzwarth, who has been the mayor at the top of the city since April 2010, has announced that he will send his candidacy into the race for a third term. The 56-year-old presented this last Tuesday, June 24, 2025, in a public meeting of the local council. Holzwarth belongs to the CDU and continues to be motivated and fit after 15 years in office, supported by his family.

The citizens of Winnenden can look forward to the election in January 2026. Holzwarth, who was elected to office with a clear majority in 2010 and received remarkable 91.4 percent of the vote in 2018, emphasizes the importance of stable finance and looks at a variety of challenges. But one question remains: who will be his opponents? So far there are no serious challengers what the speculation about the upcoming elections has fueled.

goals for the future

Holzwarth has already outlined some clear goals for his third term. This includes the financial stability of the city, climate protection and the creation of a "hands-on city", in which citizens are actively involved in urban development. He also wants to create new living rooms and make sure that care and school offers are still of high quality.

The promotion of the economy and the design of an attractive city center and the development of districts to the health city are also on the agenda. "The cohesion in our city and the securing of diversity are particularly important to me," said Holzwarth. How the plans are actually implemented will show time.

local elections in Germany

The challenge of the upcoming local elections is shown in the context of a broader political landscape. In Germany, local elections are a central element of democracy that, according to the Basic Law, are regulated by general, direct and secret elections. In these elections, the citizens not only choose their municipal representatives, but also the (senior) mayor directly, as is typical for the South German mayor constitution. This often leads to a special involvement of local topics that can influence voters in favor of smaller parties or initiatives, as the Federal Center for Political Education.

with Holzwarth as an experienced incumbent and an uncertain opposition in the background, the choice in Winnenden is undoubtedly exciting. Citizens are called up to assert their influence and give their vote - after all, it is about the future of their city.

remains to be seen how the political situation will develop until the election. So much is certain: Hartmut Holzwarth has plans a lot and will do everything possible to meet your expectations.
