Grevenbroich elects new city leader: Herpel stays, Meuser rises!

There are significant changes in administration in Grevenbroich! At the council meeting on December 12, 2024, Florian Herpel was unanimously re-elected as an alderman for a further term of eight years. His re-election will take effect on January 30, 2025. Mayor Klaus Krützen praised Herpel's commitment and experience and emphasized the continuity he brings in the areas of "youth" and "city planning/building regulations". “With Florian Herpel we have an experienced and committed leader who is characterized by competence and reliability,” said Krützen. This decision guarantees stable support for the city's future projects, which can count on his experience.

New First Alderman elected

In addition, Stefan Meuser was elected as the new first alderman. With just one dissenting vote, the 48-year-old received the council's trust. In his new role, he will be responsible for the areas of schools/sports, education and culture as well as social security, integration and inclusion. Meuser, who previously worked as an alderman and treasurer in Kaarst, brings extensive knowledge of finance and administrative management. Mayor Krützen describes him as a personality who can enrich the administrative team. “His competence and his eye for future-oriented administrative work can advance Grevenbroich,” added the mayor.

These elections were necessary because the previous First Alderman Michael Heesch was retired after 22 years in the administration. The wave of candidacies for the successor had already caused speculation before the meeting. Several applicants had signaled their interest, with Meuser being considered the favorite, which ultimately proved to be the case. The city of Grevenbroich is moving into its next term of office with a breath of fresh air, in which Herpel and Meuser will set the course for the future, according to information from Lokalklick.eu and rp-online.de.
