Der Bürgermeister - Aufgaben, Rechte und Pflichten

The mayor is the head of a city or town, represents the municipality, and has important responsibilities for the functioning of local self-government and the preservation of democracy at the municipal level. Our current tutorial on local politics focuses on questions surrounding the office of mayor: • What are the responsibilities of a mayor? • What are typical job profiles for volunteer and full-time mayors? • How does one become mayor? • What scope for action and decision-making powers does a mayor have in small and large municipalities? What can be achieved in a challenging environment? • What connections exist between the volunteer mayor and the municipal administration? • How is power distributed between the municipal/city council and the mayor? • What is the significance of participation in the supervisory boards of a municipality's own and affiliated companies? • At what levels is the mayor required to participate at the district, state, and possibly federal levels? • What personal qualities, skills, and qualifications should a mayor possess? • What are the key policy and future issues for a mayor today? These and other topics will be discussed in a conversation with renowned expert on municipal affairs Klaus-Michael Glaser and Stephan Nolte, the long-serving mayor of Schwerin. We cordially invite you to our livestream on Thursday, February 25, 2021, at 7:00 p.m. Dr. Silke Bremer Konrad Adenauer Foundation Mecklenburg-Vorpommern #KAS #MV #LocalPoliticsTutorials
