The citizens' and homeland association described its relationship with the National Socialists as "distant".

- 1956–1961: Karl Bode (FDP)
- Karl Bode was elected mayor in 1956 as the first FDP member. His tenure was overshadowed by a scandal over unlawfully received, interest-free state loans that he used to finance his own home.

- 1969–1974: Hans Meyer (CDU)
- Hans Meyer was elected mayor for the first time in 1969. The focus of his first term of office was the discussion about the local reorganization.

- 1975: Werner Beckmann (FDP)

- 1975–1987: Hans Meyer (CDU)
- In Hans Meyer's second term in office, the local political focus was on the design of today's inner city and on international business talks. In addition, the city of Hemer established the city partnerships with Bretten and Obervellach at this time , while the partnerships with Beuvry and Steenwerck were taken over from the formerly independent communities. Due to a severe crisis in the Stadtsparkasse , which was due to unsecured loans, Meyer had to resign in 1987.
- 1987–1994: Klaus Burda (SPD)
- The focus of Klaus Burda's time as mayor was the renovation of the savings bank and the withdrawal of the British army from their barracks in Deilinghofen. In addition, the city friendships with Schtscholkowo and Doberlug-Kirchhain developed . In his last years in office, a crisis emerged in the city administration, which led to the dismissal of the city director and the first alderman.

Mayoral chain
The mayor of Hemeran has been wearing a mayor's chain as an insignia on special occasions since 1957. The design was done by Friedhelm Treude, the chairman of the community and local community, together with goldsmith Lutz Kahlmann, who also made the necklace. The main element is the former city coat of arms, which is crowned by a sea of rocks and the coat of arms of Westphalia and the Iserlohn district . After the municipal reorganization in 1975, the new city coat of arms was placed as a door in front of the old one. Since then, the coats of arms of the former municipalities, the Märkisches Kreis and the state of North Rhine-Westphalia have been found on the inside . Other chain links show buildings from Hemeran such as the Vitus Church and the Hemer House , but also formerly typical professions for the region.
