Hohenberger remains: Landstrasse chooses the long -standing district head

Landstraße, Wien, Österreich - Erich Hohenberger (76), who has been the district leader of the country road since 1989, remains a formative figure in Viennese politics. However, the district, which includes diplomatic representations, public institutions and significant shops, faces challenges that were also illustrated in the latest elections. Despite a slight decline, the SPÖ remains the strongest political force in the district with over 36 %. Hohenberger not only has the longest term among the district leaders in Vienna, but also had a decisive influence on the development of the 3rd district.

The redesign of the Landstraßer Hauptstraße is considered necessary in politics to preserve the shopping flair in the district. Nevertheless, there are concerns about the loss of valuable parking spaces that are important for residents and business. This topic could play a central role in future political discussions.

elections and political dynamics

In the current elections, the SPÖ has lost votes, but retains its status as a leading party. The Greens follow almost 22 % and were unable to remove themselves from the SPÖ. The FPÖ, on the other hand, has a noticeable increase, while the NEOS could easily grow. An unexpected result is the KPÖ's move into the district parliament, while HC Strache was unsuccessful. The counting of the electoral and postal voting cards by the district electoral authority is still underway, which could lead to further developments.

Erich Hohenberger is not only a politician, but also a committed citizen. He is committed to a livable country road. His central concerns include education, affordable living, social justice and climate protection. Important projects on which he participated include the development of Vienna Mitte and the redesign of public spaces. Hohenberger emphasizes the importance of citizen participation and the promotion of a coexistence in the community.

biography and professional career

Hohenberger, born on June 24, 1948 in Vienna, began his career in 1966 in the central Sparkasse of the municipality of Vienna. After completing his training as a banker, he rose to the position of the secretary of the Deputy General Director Paul Höfinger. He has been politically active since 1985 as a deputy district chief and took over the office of district manager in 1989. Since 2013 he has also been leading the honorary chair of the SPÖ Landstrasse.

The upcoming challenges and the results of the elections will significantly shape the political agenda of Hohenberger and the SPÖ in the Landstrasse, while the district is also trying to find a balance between development and the needs of its citizens.
