Life

Kündiger's family moved to Kelkheim in 1959. There he grew up with several siblings.

At the end of the 1970s and the beginning of the 1980s, he turned against the construction work on Bundesstrasse 8 to defuse the bottleneck at the Königsteiner Kreisel and was one of the squatters who, on the already built embankment of the planned new route for the federal motorway 647, a hut village, which as "Dam" became known, built. Around this time Kündiger was one of the co-founders of the Independent Kelkheimer Voters' Initiative (UKW).

From March 1981 to November 1985, and again from September 1990 to June 2015, he was a member of the Kelkheim City Council . As a city councilor, he served there for several years as the group leader of the UKW. In 2015 he ran for UKW on June 14th in the Kelkheim mayoral election. After none of the candidates could achieve the necessary majority, Kündiger was elected mayor in the subsequent run-off election on June 28 with 60.8% of the votes cast and took office on July 1, 2015. He replaced Thomas Horn , who was no longer running, and became the first mayor of the city who was not a member of the CDU for 65 years .

Furthermore, since 1989 he has been a member of the district assembly of the Main-Taunus-Kreis , where he belongs to the parliamentary group of Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen , of which he is also chairman. On September 10, 1995, he ran unsuccessfully for the Greens in the district election in the Main-Taunus district, in which he achieved 8.6% of the valid votes and was subject to Jochen Riebel (CDU). On May 22, 2005, he ran again for the Greens in a district election in the Main-Taunus district. He achieved 10.2% of the valid votes and was thus subject to the candidate of the CDU, Berthold R. Gall . Kündiger is a member and deputy chairman of the regional assembly in South Hesse.

Kündiger is married and has four children, a son and three daughters.
