Ex-district administrator Eichenlaub in the terminal: disciplinary action for corruption!

The case has a long history. As early as 2014, Eichenlaub was charged by the Kassel public prosecutor's office for infidelity. Although the process was terminated in 2024 against payment of 25,000 euros due to its permanent inability to negotiate, the disciplinary processes after this attitude have been resumed. Eichenlaub had already received a two -year suspended sentence for infidelity and tax evasion in the event in 2016, but which was largely repealed by the Federal Court of Justice in 2017 due to formal defects.

As can be seen from numerous reports, the district of Waldeck-Frankenberg had created up to 38 million euros at the LB Swiss, with Eichenlaub in its role as chairman of the board of Sparkasse Waldeck-Frankenberg. The irregularities in its service business not only raise questions about oak leaves, but also shed light on a bigger problem in corruption in Germany, which is increasingly enjoying public attention, especially in areas such as waste burning and large -scale construction projects. Comprehensive information and preventive measures are currently being developed on these topics in order to prevent future cases, as shown in an explanatory book that also deals with the indicators of dishonest action.

The next steps

The application was only submitted on July 8, 2025, and the case is now being negotiated before the Wiesbaden administrative court. It remains to be seen how the situation for oak leaves will develop. If the accusation is confirmed, this could not only mean the loss of his pension, but also camouflage its reputation.

The situation also throws the light on the need for transparent and regulated processes in the administration to prevent similar incidents in the future. In Central Europe, the topic of corruption still seems to be a hot iron that must also be discussed in this country.
