Lüttger wants to stay at the helm: Hat trick in the mayoral election!

On June 29, 2025, the citizens of the Rüdesheim municipality will have the choice to appoint a new mayor for the next eight years. In the starting blocks is Markus Lüttger, who has been at the helm of the community since 2009 and is now aiming for a third term in office. The 58-year-old was recently nominated as a candidate for mayor by the CDU members of the Rüdesheim community association with 100 percent of the vote. This shows that he is still very popular, emphasizes nahe-news.

The importance of this election cannot be overstated. As with all local elections in Germany, it is the citizens who decide on the composition of their local administrations and the political representatives. Depending on the federal state, mayors are usually elected for five to eight years. A hat trick is also at stake in Rüdesheim, as Lüttger is counting on stable support in the community.

Successes and challenges of the term

Markus Lüttger looks back on an eventful political career. His first election in 2008 was a challenge for the CDU, but he was able to prevail despite being an outsider. The 2018 election was particularly notable, in which he received almost 90 percent of the vote after several new local communities were added to the Verbandsgemeinde. Lüttger described his 16-year term in office as challenging, but without any unmanageable crises. Much was achieved - from investments in schools to firefighting projects to administrative reforms that significantly advanced the community.

Another building block of his success is the good proximity to the citizens, which Lüttger says he maintains. The politician emphasizes his skills in dealing with people, his hard work and his commitment to the citizens of VG Rüdesheim. This is very important to him because his motto is: “Good work for the people in our homeland, good work purely oriented towards the task, if possible without party politics”.

Election campaign and independence

Despite the support of his party, Lüttger has also taken a clear position towards the district leadership and plans to finance the election campaign independently. This shows his willingness to confidently lead the community and his determination to continue to advocate for the interests of the local people. His decision to initially run as an individual candidate before committing to the CDU list also speaks for his desire for independence.

With a keen sense of the needs of citizens, Lüttger would like to continue the successful work of recent years. The coming weeks leading up to the election date will be crucial in convincing citizens of his vision. His election strategy should not only be based on financial resources, but also on trust, transparency and citizen-oriented projects that appeal to people.

The citizens of VG Rüdesheim are now asked: Who will win the trust of the electorate and direct the fate of the community for the next few years? The weeks leading up to Lüttger's election on June 29th will show whether his strategies are fruitful.
