Politics


Bamberg is an independent city. Its town council and its Lord Mayor are elected every six years, though not in the same year. Thus, the last municipal election for the town council was in 2002, for the Lord Mayor in 2006.

Stadtrat


As of July 2006, the town council comprises 18 CSU councillors, 9 SPD Social Democratic Party of Germany

The Social Democratic Party of Germany is the oldest political party [i] of Germany [i] and also one ... 

 councillors, 6 Green councillors, and 4 councillors of the Freie Wähler - Bamberger Realisten, a local political movement. These four parties achieved the number of councillors necessary to form a caucus. In addition, the Bamberger Bürger-Block, the far-right Republicans , and independents are represented by one councillor each, making them ineligible for caucus status.
This is the result of the municipal elections of 3rd March 2002 and several councillors' changes in political allegiance since then. Voter turnout in 2002 was 50.33 per cent.

Oberbürgermeister

Lords Mayor since 1945:

  • 1945 - 1958: Luitpold Weegmann
  • 1958 - 1982: Theodor Mathieu
  • 1982 - 1994: Paul Röhner
  • 1994 - 2006: Herbert Lauer
  • since 1st May 2006: Andreas Starke  - Werner Hipelius  serves as mayor and deputy.
