Ten years for Uelzen: Dr. Ebeling draws positive balance as a city council!

dr. Florian Ebeling took over the position of the first city council in the Hanseatic city of Uelzen on January 1, 2015. In the course of his term, which has now spanned almost a decade, he was responsible for numerous departments, including finance, organization and personnel as well as education, social affairs and sport. He also supervises urban business, tourism, city marketing and city forest.

The 53-year-old Ebeling was elected in 2022 for a second term that runs until the end of 2030. In his role as a treasurer, he always has the financial situation of the city in view and was able to record eight balanced budget years from 2016 to 2023. Nevertheless, the current budget for 2025 with a deficit of 11.8 million euros is under a tense financial pressure, due to cost increases and inadequate financing by the state and the federal government. Tax increases have so far been avoided, but future development remains uncertain.

success and challenges

Under Ebeling's management, Uelzen has promoted significant projects that benefit urban development. This includes the construction of daycare centers, the development of a daycare concept, the renovation of the theater and the introduction of the all-day offer at primary schools. In addition, the future contract with the state of Lower Saxony was successfully implemented, in which Uelzen received a financial aid of 28 million euros.

EBELING emphasizes the importance of the proximity to the citizen, the modernization of the administration as well as digitization and further training of the employees. In order to promote the binding and extraction of employees and trainees, a corresponding project was launched. In addition, Ebeling sees the cooperation with the city's political bodies as essential in order to continue to master the challenges that affect the city.

dr. Before his work in Uelzen, Florian Ebeling has had an impressive career in the administration of universities before he was responsible for financial and personnel management as a government director at Leibniz University of Hanover. He has completed legal training and business studies (MBA). Ebeling is married and father of four children. His connection with Uelzen is evident in his commitment to the city and its citizens.
