Results of the local elections in Schenefeld (Pinneberg district)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following tables list the results of the local elections in Schenefeld (Pinneberg district) .

history

The first community council was elected according to the regulations of the local statute, which was passed on August 11, 1875, which replaced the previous assembly of all community members entitled to vote - in Schenefeld at that time 50 of 724 inhabitants. In addition to the owner of the Friedrichshulde court, who was automatically a permanent member of the municipal council, the electorate was divided into 3 departments (mostly incorrectly referred to as classes) according to the state taxes they had paid and elected a further 6 (2 per department) councilors.
The result of the first choice can no longer be reconstructed. Only from 1893 onwards have the election results been handed down in fragments.

On May 10, 1893, the statute was changed so that the community council now consisted of the community leader and his deputy as well as 9 other members (3 per department).

On March 31, 1911, a member of the SPD represented a party for the first time to vote for a mandate in the local council.

With the end of the empire and the proclamation of the republic in 1918, the right to vote also changed fundamentally. The members of the community council were now elected in general, direct, free, equal and secret ballot according to the principles of proportional representation. The election of people has been replaced by voting for a party list.

On February 4, 1933, Hermann Göring, acting as Prussian interior minister, ordered the compulsory dissolution of all Prussian municipal councils on February 8 and new elections for March 12. At the same time, community organs across the empire were dissolved under threat of violence. The Prussian Municipal Constitutional Law of December 15, 1933, which was not passed through parliament, standardized - “until a Reich law soon implements a fundamental reform of the municipal constitution for the entire Reich” - the different local law applicable in Prussia on January 1, 1934 according to National Socialist principles.

On December 4, 1945, the British Military Government appointed a council of 17 members.

Since 1946 the municipal councils have been elected according to the requirements of the Schleswig-Holstein municipal code.

The constant constant in the Schenefeld party landscape is the SPD, which has participated in all democratically legitimized elections since 1911.
Already during the Weimar Republic , the bourgeois camp had been reconstituted again and again from election to election under changing names, and in the final phase before 1933 it had merged with the emerging Nazi movement. The formation of a national unified list for local elections in 1933 prevented the NSDAP from running independently .
This pattern continued after the Second World War and, with remarkable personal continuities, new parties were grouped for each election up to 1966 and reflected the eventful history of parties in Schleswig-Holstein on a small scale. It was only when the Schenefeld CDU was founded in 1964 that this area became permanent.
In 1994 the founding of the STATT party and in 2003 by the Schill party led to a spill over of party foundations in Hamburg to Schenefeld.

On July 1, 1972, Schenefeld was granted city rights by the Schleswig-Holstein Ministry of the Interior. On this day, the previous municipal council was reconstituted as a council.

The third department is elected by a public declaration to the community leader. After the vote, the voter must leave the polling station. This regulation remains valid until 1919.

Prussian Land Community Code for the Province of Schleswig-Holstein from July 3, 1891

Only physical, male and self-employed persons who are over 24 years of age are entitled to vote for municipal councils. They must be members of the German Reich who have civil rights, have been living in the municipality for one year, have not received poor relief from public funds and have paid the municipality taxes due to them. In addition, they must either own a house in the municipality or be assessed by the state for an annual amount of at least 3 marks in property and building taxes from their entire property located within the municipality, or they must be used to pay the municipal taxes after an annual income of more than 600 marks.

Amendment of the Schenefeld electoral statute of May 10, 1893

The municipality council consists of the municipality leader, his deputy and 9 members, so a total of 11 members.
After 2 years, 3 drop out, one from each class.

Ordinance of the Prussian government on the regulation of municipal electoral law of January 24, 1919

The members of the municipal council are elected in general, direct and secret ballot according to the principles of proportional representation. Each voter has one vote, all men and women who are in possession of the German Reich citizenship, who have reached the age of 20, have lived in the municipality for six months and are in possession of the civil rights, are entitled to vote.
The Schenefeld municipal council consists of 9 members.

Prussian Municipal Constitutional Law of December 15, 1933

This law standardized - “until a Reich law soon carries out a fundamental reform of the municipal constitution for the entire Reich” - the previous Prussian local law according to National Socialist principles.
Schenefeld was now called rural community and was led by a community school who was appointed by the district administrator. The community leader was given "worthy and experienced citizens with their advice". Their designation was "community elders" in rural communities and were to be appointed:

  • the highest local head of the NSDAP,
  • the senior leader of the storm detachments or the protection squadrons of the NSDAP for the duration of their office,
  • other experienced and well-deserved men, taking into account the professions that shape the community,
for a period of 6 years, whereby a third had to leave every 2 years.

The municipal councils were appointed by the supervisory authority at the suggestion of the Gauleiter of the NSDAP. Votes were no longer planned in this body.

German municipal code of January 30, 1935

The German municipal code created a centralized regulation that applied throughout the German Empire. The National Socialist state saw in it one of the fundamental laws of its regime, as can already be seen from the preamble (“The new building of the Reich will be completed on the ground prepared by it”); therefore democratic elements such as elections for the office of mayor or votes in the municipal council were abolished and the position of the NSDAP was firmly anchored. Schenefeld was now called municipality. The leaders of the municipalities used the designation "mayor", who was no longer elected, but appointed. In the interests of unity between the party and the state, the NSDAP district leader led the process when the mayor was appointed and removed from office. After consulting the local councils, he proposed three applicants to the district administrator of the Pinneberg district. The position should be filled on a voluntary basis for six years. Appointed aldermen also stood by to represent the mayor.

There was no longer an elected council. Rather, local councils had to "ensure constant contact between the administration of the community and all layers of the citizenry". Women were no longer allowed. Your appointment was made for 6 years by the representative of the NSDAP in consultation with the mayor. Attention was paid to national reliability, suitability and reputation. Personalities should be taken into account, whose sphere of activity gave the community its special character or meaning or who had a significant influence on community life. The mayor had to discuss important community matters with the local councils. A record was to be made of the content of the deliberation, in which the deviating statements of the municipal councils were to be recorded. Votes did not take place.

UK Military Government Ordinance No. 12

With this ordinance of September 15, 1945, the formation of political parties was permitted "to promote the growth of a democratic spirit in Germany and to prepare for the holding of free elections at a point in time to be determined"

Revised German Municipal Code in the version of the Annex to Ordinance No. 21 of the British Military Government of April 1, 1946

The mayor appointed by the British military government called on December 4, 1945, the 17 community representatives, who were also appointed by the British, to their first meeting.

Municipal and District Election Act of the State of Schleswig-Holstein (GKWG)

The law on elections in the municipalities and districts in Schleswig-Holstein comprehensively regulates the elections to the municipal or city councils and the district assemblies. The area of ​​regulation includes, among other things, regulations on the electoral system, the electoral bodies, constituencies, the preparation of the election, the electoral act, the determination of the election result and the election test as well as elimination and advancement. In addition, the legal framework for the election of full-time mayors is given.
A system of “personalized proportional representation” applies to the election. The number of seats is subdivided into seats for the “direct representatives” and seats for the “list representatives”. Depending on the size of the community, the number of seats and the division into "direct representatives" and "list representatives" is determined.
On February 13, 2008, the Federal Constitutional Court declared in an organ dispute by the Schleswig-Holstein state associations of the parties GRÜNE and DIE LINKE against the 5 percent hurdle in the state's local election law to be unconstitutional. The Schleswig-Holstein Landtag thereupon deleted the threshold clause in local elections on February 29, 2008.
Until the local elections in 2008, mandates were allocated according to the D'Hondt procedure , and since 2013 according to the Sainte-Laguë procedure .
