Ever wondered where local decisions are made in Muenster’s southeast district? That’s where the Bezirksverwaltung S\u00fcdost comes in. It’s more than just an administrative building. It is a vital hub for the communities of Angelmodde, Gremmendorf, and Wolbeck.
The Bezirksverwaltung S\u00fcdost stands on M\u00fcnsterstra\u00dfe 7. Its doors are open to residents seeking assistance. This is where the district’s administrative heart beats. It plays a crucial role in shaping local policy. The Bezirksverwaltung S\u00fcdost is also home to the B\u00fcrgerb\u00fcro S\u00fcdost in rooms 2-4.
The Bezirksvertretung S\u00fcdost, the district council, plays a key role here. This council consists of 19 members. These members are elected every five years during North Rhine-Westphalia’s local elections. Their task is to help shape local policy within the S\u00fcdost district. From their ranks, they elect a district mayor and deputies.
The Bezirksvertretung S\u00fcdost faced an interesting situation after the 2020 elections. Neither the Green, SPD, and Left alliance nor the CDU and FDP had a majority. To avoid giving the deciding vote to the AfD representative, the SPD candidate withdrew. The SPD, Greens, and FDP jointly nominated CDU candidate Peter Bensmann. He has been the district mayor ever since. The deputy mayor positions went to the Greens and the SPD. Later, the SPD, Greens, and Left criticized the CDU’s voting behavior. They accused them of pushing through their own projects with the AfD’s support.
The Bezirksverwaltung S\u00fcdost also connects to the Ratsinformationssystem. Here you can find information about the members and meeting dates.
M\u00fcnster-S\u00fcdost itself is made up of Angelmodde, Gremmendorf, and Wolbeck. Angelmodde is known as a residential “insider tip”. Gremmendorf developed into an important settlement area after World War II. Wolbeck is popular for its charming landscape and vibrant community. It also has a wide range of schools.
So, next time you’re in M\u00fcnster-S\u00fcdost, remember the Bezirksverwaltung S\u00fcdost. It is a place where local governance happens. The administrative work done impacts the lives of over 30,000 residents.
