Mayor Jürgen Scholz: Between politics, sport and passion for photography!

Jürgen Scholz, the longest-serving mayor in the Ludwigsburg district, is not only a committed local politician, but also a high-ranking sports official and photographer. He has been in charge of Sersheim since 1990 and is also a member of the Free Voters and active in the Ludwigsburg district council. He is considered a defining figure in local politics and sport, where he holds various honorary positions.

Scholz is president of the Württemberg Athletics Association and a board member of the SportRegion Stuttgart. He is also chairman of the Presidential Committee for Competitive Sports of the Baden-Württemberg State Sports Association. This versatility reflects his passion for sports, which began in his youth. His first sport was athletics, in which he achieved significant sporting success: fourth place at the German Junior Championships in the 4x100 meter relay.

Hobby and political beliefs

Away from the political stage, Scholz is an enthusiastic nature photographer. He regularly goes on discovery tours in nature with his camera in order to switch off from hectic local politics and his involvement in sports politics. His interest in photography is consistent with his tireless commitment to democracy, a theme highlighted in a recent conversation. He was critical of the “I-society”, which in his opinion is a “democracy killer” because it focuses on the individual instead of the common good, as lkz.de reports.

Part of his conviction is based on his own experiences as a “guest worker child,” which has influenced his social perspective. He combines this biographical background with the sporting environment, where he shows a special appreciation for athletes, including names like Alina Reh and Malaika Mihambo, all of whom have an important place in his heart.

Current sporting activities

In his free time, Scholz stays fit by jogging and riding an e-bike, although the weather conditions play a role. He also follows developments in sport from the “neutrality” of the audience, although he has a fondness for TV Salamander Kornwestheim, his former club with which he has a nostalgic relationship. If he had the opportunity to arrange a dinner with a sports star, it would be Thomas Müller, a name that connects numerous hearts in sports.

With his various commitments, Jürgen Scholz shows that politics, sport and personal interests can be harmoniously linked. He remains an important voice both in the municipalities and in the sports associations, which impressively demonstrates his long-standing and diverse commitment, as sportregion-stuttgart.de describes in detail. This combination of political knowledge, sporting enthusiasm and personal creativity makes him an inspiring personality in the region.
