AfD candidate for Gunzenhausen: fight against vacancy and for new jobs!

Gunzenhausen, Deutschland - The AfD Ansbach-Weißenburg has set up for the municipal elections in 2026 and mainly relies in a breath of fresh air in Gunzenhausen. The 36-year-old Sebastian Bäumler, mayor candidate of the party, would like to revive the city with a clear focus on vacancy management and economic development. As an entrepreneur in the area of ​​electrical installation, he not only brings business understanding, but also a great commitment from his voluntary work with the fire brigade, the IHK and the VHS.

Bäumler has formulated ambitious goals: he not only wants to revitalize the city center, but also create pop-up areas and find common solutions with owners to optimize the use of funding programs. "We have to tackle and promote development together with the citizens," said his clear announcement. In addition, the AfD fights against the vacancy in living rooms, which is an acute problem in numerous regions, especially in rural areas.

vacancy as a central topic

according to [Kommunal.de] (https://kommunal.de/erfiFSkonzepte- against-Leerstand), around 530,000 apartments are uninhabited in East Germany, which corresponds to a share of 7.6 percent of the overall apartments. Around 4 percent of the 1.35 million apartments are also empty in West Germany. Despite the challenges of the 2015/16 refugee flow, which moved many people, the vacancy remained a persistent problem. The federal action strategy includes support programs for the renovation and new construction of residential buildings, which could also be important for Gunzenhausen.

Bäumler could use the measures presented by the Federal Minister of Building Klara Geywitz to specifically reduce vacancy in Gunzenhausen. A remarkable program is "young buys old" that supports families in the acquisition and energetic renovation of residential buildings. Here could offer new opportunities for the habitability that are also to be tackled in Gunzenhausen.

The way to the future

But not only Bäumler is active on the political parquet. Thomas Koller, 30 years, also runs for the mayor's post in Weißenburg and speaks for affordable living space and rising rental prices. These are topics that move many citizens in the current time.

"We all notice that living space increasingly becomes a luxury goods," said Koller. So if you hope that the living space problem can be alleviated through new construction areas for families and accelerated building application tests, you should carefully pursue the local election campaign. Koller plans to introduce technical innovations such as digital processes in the building applications in order to give the new building a thrust.

In an increasingly challenging real estate market, the cooperation of everyone involved is crucial. "A good knack for cooperation and the use of funding will be decisive in the future to make our cities worth living," emphasizes Bäumler. The district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen can look forward to exciting times, while these new candidates are trying to pave the way for a more lively city and region.

The actors face fresh challenges, as a candidate for the district administrator, the 60-year-old Siegfried Lang competes in order to work for the citizens in the area and to rely on civic-centered management. Lang's experience and commitment promise that a rethink could also take place in the district policy.
