Hofkirchen in change: new ideas for the mayoral election and environmental project!

In Hofkirchen there is a striking change: after 21 years in office, the mayor Martin Raab (ÖVP) has announced his resignation for health reasons, which will be effective on October 31, 2024. In an open letter to the population, Raab confessed that he has suffered from an overload syndrome since the previous year and no longer performed the necessary strength to continue his official business. Despite the success of treatment, he no longer sees himself able to act as a mayor. Under his leadership, the Falkenstein castle ruins was successfully renovated and numerous projects were implemented that have shaped Hofkirchen. On March 9, 2025, a new mayor will be elected, and Vice Mayor Martin Mairhofer has already announced that he would stand for election. "Anyone who knows me knows that a positive further development of Hofkirchen is my heart concern," he emphasized.

planned changes and new projects

The community is therefore full of changes and innovations an exciting year ago. In Hofkirchen, an innovative eco-and theme park is to be created, which deals with environmental education and leisure activities. Interactive stations on environmental issues, a sweet garden and a bicycle course with motor skills are planned. These initiatives are realized from the point of view of sustainable resource use. Head of Office Thomas Neundlinger is confident: "The coming year is in Hofkirchen in the name of change, community and sustainable progress." In addition, the Rathausstüberl is leased in the market center, and the fire brigade is looking forward to a new large fire truck, whose blessing will take place on May 16, 2025, which will continue to heat the anticipation in the community.
