After the end of the term of office, she ran again for the mayor's office in Wismar in 2002 and was re-elected with 79.1 percent of the votes.

Voluntary work

Already a member of the board of the German Foundation for Monument Protection since 1997 , Rosemarie Wilcken took over the position of chairman of the board of this foundation from Gottfried Kiesow in early 2011 . As part of this office, Rosemarie Wilcken also intervenes in current debates. In April 2013, for example, she called on her party colleague and Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia , Hannelore Kraft , in an open letter to refrain from planned cuts in the state budget. "The shortening and realignment of the funding policy in North Rhine-Westphalia could have devastating effects on the preservation of the monument inventory in the state, which has already been greatly reduced due to war losses, and would send the wrong signal to the many citizens involved in monument protection," said Wilcken.

Wilcken is chairman of the supervisory board of the German TV lottery and chairman of the board of the organization, which is closely related to the organization of the German aid organization. For the latter position she was named by the Presidium of the German Association of Cities.
