Our Department Head for Digitisation and Education Holger Klötzner is running in the election for Lord Mayor!
Holger Klötzner wants to be Lord Mayor of Darmstadt because he wants to create opportunities - opportunities through education, opportunities through digitisation, and opportunities through a new and collaborative way of doing politics. To make this possible, he is already constantly finding new solutions to current challenges in his role as department head. Whether it's childcare bottlenecks at elementary schools or new digital access for citizens, he can help people. That motivates him to make even more possible in Darmstadt.

As Lord Mayor, he wants to ensure that Darmstadt remains a modern and innovative city and living here becomes even more enjoyable. For him, this includes top-equipped schools, a digital and efficient administration, sustainable building construction and an environment in which both large and small companies can grow. He would like to create a separate department for art & culture, citizen participation, science and volunteerism and fill it with an expert woman. The number of departments would remain the same, as his current department would become vacant.

In the election campaign Holger Klötzner would like to prove that he can bring people with different opinions together again. For him, contact at eye level and a solution-oriented view must not be lacking.
