Mayor Martin Raab: Resigned for health reasons after 21 years

COURT CHURCHES.The mayor of Hofkirchen, Martin Raab, has announced that he is stepping down from his position for health reasons. This move will take effect on October 31 and marks the end of his more than 21-year term.

In a personal letter to the community, Raab emphasized that he has many fond memories of his time in office. “I was able to experience many beautiful moments and will also look back fondly on my time as mayor,” said Raab. His resignation comes at a time when the market town is already looking ahead to the challenges ahead, with the next mayoral election scheduled for early 2025.

A farewell after a long service

Raab's decision is not only a personal step, but also has political implications for Hofkirchen. During his long tenure, he initiated various projects and led the community through numerous changes. The citizens of Hofkirchen are divided - some thank him for his many years of work, while others are looking forward to the coming elections. Raab's resignation opens up the possibility of a breath of fresh air in local politics.

Whether and how the political structures in the municipality will change remains to be seen. The election of the new mayor will certainly be a central issue in the coming year. Citizens are called upon to actively participate in the electoral process and represent their interests.
