Kullen welcomes veterans: A moving day in the Kirchheim town hall

In Kirchheim unter Teck, Mayor Christine Kullen received a group of veterans in the town hall on June 17, 2025. On this special occasion, Kullen honored the meeting place between past and present and emphasized the tireless efforts of the veterans. She paid tribute to their service and the sacrifices that many made for peace and freedom. The event not only gave those in attendance the opportunity to share their experiences, but also to experience a sense of community.

The veterans were particularly impressed by the genuine appreciation shown to them. The mayor emphasized that the memory of turbulent times is important for future generations and that the town hall is a place where history can be kept alive. The aftermath of wars and conflicts not only sharpens awareness of peace, but also forms the basis for respectful dialogue.

Current political mood

Parallel to the celebrations, current surveys on the political mood in Germany were carried out. According to a survey by the Forsa Institute on June 10, 2025, there is a clear picture of the electorate. The CDU/CSU is at the top of the Sunday question with 27 percent, followed by the AfD with 24 percent. The SPD only has 14 percent, while the Greens and the Left are each at 11 percent. Smaller parties such as BSW and FDP clearly failed to get into the Bundestag with 3 and 4 percent.

• CDU/CSU: 27%
• AfD: 24%
• SPD: 14%
• Grüne: 11%
• Die Linke: 11%
• BSW: 3% (verpasst Einzug in den Bundestag)
• FDP: 4% (verpasst 5-Prozent-Hürde)

The 2025 federal election also shows significant changes. The CDU/CSU was able to assert itself as the strongest political force with 28.6 percent, while the AfD reached a new high with 20.8 percent. With a decline to 16.4 percent, the SPD suffered a significant loss compared to the 2021 election. The Greens and the FDP also suffered losses, while BSW once again failed to enter the Bundestag with 4.9 percent.

Importance of Democratic Values

The developments in the political landscape are noteworthy and instructive for future elections. They also cast a shadow on the discussion about democratic values ​​and the social responsibility that every citizen has. The connection between history as experienced by veterans and the current political situation could not be more relevant. This is also evident in the fundamental aspirations that must be maintained throughout the veterans' many years of service. Your commitment will not be forgotten and should always have a place in society's memory.
