politics

Heinz-Peter Haumann was a member of the district council in the Gießen district from April 1, 1993 to June 30, 2019 .

In the city of Giessen, he worked from 2001 until 2003 Mayor . Haumann came under strong criticism when he invented a bomb threat in December 2002 to justify extensive entry and personal controls in the face of a city council meeting.
Haumann was able to narrowly win the direct election for Mayor on September 28, 2003 in the second ballot: He prevailed over his challenger, the Gießen SPD leader and former social affairs officer Gerhard Merz, with a 158-vote lead. He thus succeeded Manfred Mutz (SPD), who had been on leave since 2001. The turnout in the second ballot was only 30.8%. The election led to an action for rescission by a citizen of Giessen who wanted to have the election declared invalid. Haumann had sent an election press release under the letterhead of the mayor during the election campaign. He was accused of failing to separate his work as mayor clearly enough from that of election campaigner. The view of the plaintiff that there was an inadmissible influence on voters was not shared by the Hessian Administrative Court in Kassel.

Together with the Gießen district administrator Willi Marx (SPD), Haumann was the initiator of the first Hessian start-up fund "RegioMIT". During his tenure, he also tried to improve relations between the city and the surrounding area between Giessen and the neighboring communities. In the summer of 2004, Haumann endorsed the SPD's motion to appoint Horst Eberhard Richter an honorary citizen of Giessen, but met with resistance from the CDU parliamentary group and, in particular, from party and parliamentary group leader Klaus-Peter Möller . The bourgeois majority in the city council prevailed, Richter did not receive honorary citizenship. As a result, based on a proposal by the coalition consisting of the CDU, Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen and the FDP, a guideline for granting honorary citizenship in the university town of Giessen was decided (2007). In September 2007 Richter was granted honorary citizenship on this basis by resolution of the city council.

In the direct election on June 7th, 2009 Dietlind Grabe-Bolz (SPD) was elected as the new mayor; she received 55.5% of the votes, the incumbent Heinz-Peter Haumann 44.5%. The turnout was 43.4%. Haumann's term of office ended on December 12, 2009.

job

Haumann has been a regional manager for the Hamburg real estate company Procom Invest, a project development and investor company, since May 2010.
