The former mayor of Oberstenfeld, Markus Kleemann, had been a member of the district council and the district's culture, school and European committee since 2019. He has also been a member of the school advisory board since 2024. "Your drive, down-to-earth attitude and flair for people have left a noticeable mark on the municipality of Oberstenfeld. We have always solved problems together in a good and constructive manner and I have greatly appreciated working with you as mayor," said District Administrator Allgaier. The head of the district administration continued: "As a district councillor, you were one of the most committed when it came to maintaining our partnerships. As a district councillor and mayor, you have stood up for Europe with great conviction and have lived the European idea: open, uniting, committed." Allgaier concluded by thanking Kleemann for his six years of voluntary work in the district council and emphasized that his departure would leave a noticeable gap - both in the committee and in the partnership work.
Benjamin Traa will replace Kleemann as a district councillor and become a member of the Culture, Education and European Affairs Committee.
