Jürgen Roth (politician)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jürgen Roth (* 18th March 1963 in Villingen, today municipality of Villingen-Schwenningen ) is a German local politician of the CDU . From 2003 to 2018 he was mayor of the municipality of Tuningen and has been elected mayor of the neighboring town of Villingen-Schwenningen since January 1, 2019 . Until November 2019 he was only able to hold the office as administrative administrator, which is why he had no voting rights in the municipal council. The reason for this was an election challenge, which the Mannheim Administrative Court rejected.

Life

Jürgen Roth is a Protestant and grew up in his hometown, where he also trained as an administrative administrator and worked for the building law office. In 1990 he became head of department at the student union in Konstanz . In 1992 he moved to the Protestant Church, where he was "Managing Director of the Administrative Purpose Association in the Protestant Church District Villingen, Managing Director of the Protestant Social Welfare Centers Villingen and Bad Dürrheim, Managing Director of Mobile Youth Work Villingen-Schwenningen eV" until 2003. In addition, he continued his education at the Administration and Business Academy in Freiburg im Breisgau and graduated in 1995 with a degree in business administration (VWA) .

Political activity

Tuning

He has been the mayor of Tuningen since 2003, where he was confirmed in office in 2011 with 95.2% of the votes, as well as deputy district chairman of the CDU in the Schwarzwald-Baar district .

As mayor of Tuningen, a neighboring municipality of Villingen-Schwenningen, Roth and other colleagues filed a lawsuit against the local mayor Kubon in 2012. In his role as head of the administrative community in which the administration of Villingen-Schwenningen works for smaller surrounding communities, the latter did not sufficiently take into account their interests.

Villingen-Schwenningen

In 2018 he ran for the office of Lord Mayor of Villingen-Schwenningen and was able to prevail in the runoff election on October 21, 2018 with an absolute majority. With a turnout of 40.9%, he was able to win 14,179 votes and thus 53.7%.

He took office on January 1, 2019. He is the successor to the SPD politician Rupert Kubon , who decided not to run for a third term in order to begin training as a deacon .

A competitor who had previously run for mayor elections en masse, but without a chance, had contested the election. They failed both with regard to other elections and in relation to the election of Roth before the Freiburg Administrative Court. Nevertheless, Roth was only able to take up his office temporarily, as a so-called administrative officer, until the decision of the Administrative Court. He had all the rights of a mayor, but no voting rights in the local council. The opposing candidate was declared incapable of litigation.
