politics

From 1996 to 2006 Jagau was full-time mayor of the city ​​of Laatzen near Hanover. Since 2006 he has been regional president of the Hanover region .

Hauke ​​Jagau is a member of the Lower Saxony SPD state executive committee , of which he was deputy chairman until June 2008. He is also a member of the executive board of the SPD district of Hanover.

Before the local elections in 2010, Hauke ​​Jagau was open to possible coalition talks with all political camps, except for the "Citizens' Forum". The decisive factor is whether there is a reasonable basis for long-term cooperation . He did not exclude the Left Party either.

In January 2011, Hauke ​​Jagau came under public criticism when it became known that he did not want to extend the contract of long-time managing director of the Hanover Zoo, Klaus-Michael Machens, due to political differences. Machens threatened with age discrimination charges because of Jagau's statements . The clashes culminated in Machen's dismissal without notice in March, against whom Machens brought an action in April. Previously, from a criminal law perspective, the Hanover public prosecutor's office was unable to identify any indications of improper conduct by Klaus-Michael Machens , an assessment that was finally confirmed in July 2011. In February 2012, the Hanover Regional Court ruled that Machens' dismissal was unlawful and awarded him severance pay.
