Life

After graduating from high school in 1996, Jan Werner studied economics at the Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main until 2001 . In 2002 he became a research assistant to Paul Bernd Spahn at the chair for public finance at the University of Frankfurt, where he received his doctorate in 2006. After he was a guest lecturer at the European Academy for Financial Planning in Bad Homburg vor der Höhe from 2002 to 2003 , he attended Georgia State University in Atlanta for research purposes that same year . Between October 2003 and June 2006 he regularly gave lectures at the Université Lumière Lyon 2 until he accepted teaching positions at the Mannheim and Mosbach locations of the Baden-Württemberg Cooperative State University in the 2009 winter semester . From the winter semester 2009 to the summer semester 2016 he was an economics lecturer at BiTS Iserlohn , where he received a professorship in March 2010. Since the summer semester of 2016 he has been working again as a professor of economics at the CBS in Cologne.

Jan Werner worked as a research assistant in the European Parliament between 1999 and 2004 and in the German Bundestag between 2000 and 2002 . In 2005 he worked for a few weeks as a visiting researcher in the department “Governing Board of the Indirect Tax Authority” in the Bosnian Ministry of Finance, which was preceded by a consultancy work at the World Bank in Washington, DC and Seoul . In 2006 he returned to this position for another six months. In 2006 he worked for the German Society for Technical Cooperation in Addis Ababa , and one year later at the headquarters in Eschborn . In February 2006, he also founded his own consulting firm, the Institute of Local Public Finance , of which he is still managing director.

In 1995 Jan Werner joined the local groups of the Junge Union and the CDU in his hometown of Langen . Between 1996 and 2001 he was chairman of the JU Langen, and for the following three years he was district chairman of the JU Offenbacher Land. Both the local and the district association appointed him honorary chairman after his term of office. Between 2003 and 2005 he was press spokesman and board member of the Junge Union in Hessen. In the mayoral election in Langen in 2008, he ran as an independent candidate against the later election winner Frieder Gebhardt (SPD), an official candidate of his party and four other applicants. He accounted for the third-highest share of the vote with 20.9 percent, so that he narrowly missed the runoff election . In 2014 Werner ran again in the election of the mayor in Langen and reached the runoff election, which he just lost with 49.8% of the vote against his competitor Frieder Gebhardt from the SPD with 50.2%. In November 2019, he announced that he would run again in the mayoral election in 2020.

In the mayoral election in 2020 he received 39.7% of the vote and thus entered the runoff election against Stefan Löbig. He won this on March 15 with 58.85% of the specified votes and was thus elected to succeed the incumbent Frieder Gebhardt (SPD).
