SALON LUITPOLD | Vom Amt zur Wirkung - Wie Städte und Gemeinden wieder ins Handeln kommen

In the organizer's words:

Uwe Schneidewind (former Mayor of Wuppertal) in conversation with Georg Stephan Barfuß. Moderation: Philipp von der Wippel

State reform is not an abstract question. It is decided in concrete terms - in the building permit that is waiting; in the daycare center that is missing; in the street that is not being renovated. Municipalities are the place where people experience whether the state keeps its promises or not, whether politics is still perceived as capable of acting. This is exactly where Uwe Schneidewind starts in "Dienstschluss": he describes how public administration does not derive its raison d'être from procedures, but from impact - and how the municipalities are the decisive place where this claim is either fulfilled or not. In Bavaria, new mayors and local councillors were elected in March. The new mayor of Munich, Dominik Krause, has made administrative reform his priority. This salon evening takes this announcement seriously and outlines ways of achieving success: what needs to change structurally, culturally and in terms of personnel in order for local government to be able to act again?

• Uwe Schneidewind has been invited (former mayor of Wuppertal, latest book published in March: Dienstschluss. The challenge of local politics).
• Georg Stephan Barfuß, professional member of Regensburg City Council and Head of the Department of Economics, Science and Finance. His new book will be published at the end of April: Entscheiden - Liefern - Verantworten. Municipal leadership in the 21st century.
• Moderated by Philipp von der Wippel, Managing Director of ProjectTogether and co-creator of Re:Form, an alliance for the state of tomorrow. He belongs to a generation of reform thinkers who see administration not as an end in itself, but as an infrastructure for impact.
