Mayor election in Düren: Who will be the new hope?

In the exciting race for the mayor's office in Düren, North Rhine-Westphalia, two strong candidates from the CDU are ready to convince voters! On September 14, 2025, the city will not only choose a new mayor, but will also set the course for the future. While the incumbent SPD mayor Frank Peter Ullrich starts again, the Christian Democrats still have to decide who will represent their voice in the election campaign.

Georg Hamm, the deputy group leader, is supported by the majority of the party executive, while Ingo Weber, chairman of the district committee Gürzenich, relies on the support of the members. The decision is made on November 28th in a crucial meeting. Both candidates have faced DN news and presented their visions for Düren. Hamm emphasizes that people have to be the focus of their decisions, while Weber focuses on safety and an improved infrastructure.

The candidates in focus

Ingo Weber, 52 years old, married and father of two children, brings his military discipline and experience as an air force officer into politics. "Listening, tackling, changing" are his leitmotifs. He wants to actively involve the citizens in Düren and work for more security in the city center. "I am not afraid to tackle uncomfortable topics," explains Weber.
