Results

The election was primarily a direct election , 12 of the 15 seats could be directly elected, these were all filled by candidates from the list of independents. Reserve lists were used for the other three seats. Since the Independent had not submitted a reserve stock, only the lists of the SPD and KPD could be taken into account. The SPD's list for the other seats only included two candidates, so that the last seat, after consulting Hanover, went to the KPD.

The councilors were elected for different terms of office, so four were elected until 1947, four until 1948 and seven until 1949. In the next local election, however, all seats were filled again according to a new local electoral law.

initial situation

After the local elections in 2006, the parliamentary groups of the SPD and CDU founded a council group which, with 20 out of 30 seats, had a two-thirds majority in the Bassum city council. On January 19, 2013, Claus Marx announced that he was leaving the SPD parliamentary group, thus losing a seat on the administrative committee. The Social Democrats responded to the exit with a statement. Claus Marx founded a council group with the green Rainer Dambroth.

Parties

In their election manifestos, the parties write that they want to expand the kindergarten and crèche places and maintain the elementary schools, the new high school should also be unanimously supported, with the Greens and the SPD also criticizing the model and favoring a comprehensive school.

CDU: In its election program, the CDU relies on the continuation of good projects such as the indoor swimming pool, expansion of renewable energies and support for agriculture. The Christian Democrats want to support the volunteers in Bassum with a "volunteer card" and association funding, as well as weaken the demographic change through cheap building plots.

SPD: When it comes to club sponsorship, the SPD particularly emphasizes sport and culture in order to promote “body and mind”, but also to “form community”. Inclusion and integration should take place in all areas of the city, and the SPD also focuses on energy saving and renewable energies.

BB: The citizens' bloc is largely aiming to continue the previous policy. They bet on debt reduction, continued support for the zoo, indoor and outdoor pools, primary schools and sports fields. Proposals that have not yet been implemented, such as B. a multi-generation house or cycle paths from Bassum to Neubruchhausen and Nordwohlde should be followed up.

Greens: At the “Political Stammtisch for young and old”, the previous representative of the Greens in the city council, Rainer Dambroth, said that he wanted to run for the Greens together with Klaus Pajenkamp. However, both resigned on May 27 and a new list of seven candidates was published on June 29. The Greens are positioning themselves for small-scale agriculture and want to promote renewable energies in Bassum.

Individual proposal Dambroth: After Rainer Dambroth withdrew the candidacy for the Greens, he declared that he did not want to run again, but later submitted an individual nomination.

Mayoral election 2014

initial situation

On June 18, 2013, Mayor Wilhelm Bäker announced that he would not run again after two terms. In an interview with the Kreiszeitung newspaper , Wilhelm Bäker explained that for him "the relationship of trust between parts of the council and the mayor has been disturbed".

Candidates

On October 25, 2013, Bernadette Nadermann announced that she would run as a single candidate for mayoral election. Bernadette Nadermann has been First Councilor in Bassum since January 1st, 2008.

In January 2014, Claus Marx from the Bürger-Block declared that he wanted to run for the office of mayor, also as a single applicant. Claus Marx came to the Bassum city council in 2006 via the SPD's list and left the SPD parliamentary group and the party in 2010; he remained as a non-party member of the city council and founded a council group with Rainer Dambroth (Greens). In 2011, Marx ran on the list of the citizens' bloc, but was not elected to the Bassum city council.

In February, Christian Porsch, also from the Citizens' Block, declared that he would run as a single applicant. He has been a city council member for the civic bloc since 2001 and parliamentary group chairman since 2011.

On January 20, 2014, the annual general meeting of the CDU decided to accept the proposal of the city association's executive committee and to nominate the deputy mayor and CDU parliamentary group leader Cathleen Schorling as candidate for mayor.

The local association of the SPD, the local association of the Greens and the citizen block spoke out in favor of none of the candidates.

Results

The first round of the 2014 mayoral election took place in Bassum on May 25, 2014. The previous deputy mayor Cathleen Schorling ran for the CDU, the first town councilor Bernadette Nadermann, the parliamentary group leader of the civic bloc Christian Porsch and the former city council member Claus Marx ran as independent candidates. In the runoff election on June 15, Christian Porsch was elected mayor, his term of office begins on November 1, 2014.

initial situation

Of the 30 council members elected on September 11, 2011, eight resigned due to death or resignation; the size of the parliamentary groups has not changed (as of May 22, 2016). No groups were founded in the 2011–2016 council period, so that no majority coalition was formed.

During the council period, the primary school structure, the fire brigade planning, the designation of special areas for wind turbines and a new retail report in particular caused long and controversial discussions.

Parties

CDU: After the state elections in 2013, in which Volker Meyer was elected to the state parliament, and the mayoral election in 2014, in which the CDU candidate clearly missed the runoff, some posts were filled in the CDU city council and in the CDU city association.

In the local elections on September 11, two directly elected council members, council chairman Rolf Lahmeyer and the candidate with the best result in 2011, Helmut Zurmühlen, will not run again for the CDU, two other directly elected council members have already resigned.

SPD: As early as the beginning of 2015, the SPD took its position with the fifth edition of the Spiegeroog resolutions.

Citizen Block: With its municipal political concept, the Citizen Block has continued the line of the previous elections, it calls for private investments and urban investment in roads and cycle paths.

Greens: The Bassum Greens went to the press with their candidates at an early stage; in addition to the current council members, two other members will be candidates.

Die Linke: Council member Peter Faßbinder has announced that he will submit a list with other supporters. On June 24th, the district association of the party Die Linke passed a list for the Bassum city council that includes three other candidates in addition to Faßbinder.

Helmut Zurmühlen , elected to the council with the best result in 2011 and mayor of Bramstedt, has announced that he will not run the CDU, whether as an individual candidate or with a list he has so far left open.
