New momentum for the SPD Hemmingen: Potrykus takes over the chairmanship!
On May 26, 2025, the SPD Hemmingen elected a new board that will bring a breath of fresh air to the local association. Aleksander Potrykus, a 40-year-old family man, takes on the responsibility as chairman. Potrykus, who has lived in Hemmingen since 1989, would like to strengthen the association and provide innovative impulses. He is also chairman of the Hemmingen city parents' council and is involved in the parents' council of a daycare center. In doing so, he underlines his desire to take the needs of citizens seriously and to develop and implement practical solutions.
The most recent meeting highlighted Potrykus’ focus on engaging with citizens. New formats such as political walks, open theme evenings and after-work events are intended to help promote togetherness in the community. His predecessor, Sebastian Kunde, and deputy chairwoman Christina Fritz were thanked for their work and the successful democracy project “10 under 25”, which inspires young people about political issues. Potrykus emphasizes that the participation of women and young people in party and local politics is particularly important.
Active participation in politics
The SPD local association in Hemmingen is actively committed to social justice, equal opportunities and strong cooperation. On the official website of the SPD Hemmingen you can find information about current topics, political positions and events in the districts. In addition, contacts in various parliaments (city, region, state, federal, European) are named and invited to participate. Citizens are invited to take part in open get-togethers and themed evenings and to discuss their concerns directly.
Citizen participation plays a central role in politics. [bpb.de](https://www.bpb.de/shop/zeitschriften/apuz/33491/buerger participation-in-der-kommunal-und-verwaltungsreform/) describes how important it is to involve citizens in decision-making processes at an early stage. This could help to avoid failures in reforms and increase the acceptance of political decisions. In this context, Rhineland-Palatinate has shown how involving citizens in local and administrative reform can achieve positive results.
Shaping a committed future
Potrykus plans to create concrete, creative and plannable offers in order to increase the attractiveness of political participation. His approach could be important not only for the Hemmingen SPD, but also for similar initiatives in other communities. By actively taking on board citizens' feedback and incorporating it into political work, the new board will be able to address the population's urgent concerns in a focused manner.
Overall, the new election of the board and Potrykus' vision show that lively citizen participation and active political participation are being sought in Hemmingen. The upcoming activities and formats represent a valuable opportunity to involve more people in local politics and thus promote the common good.
