Ulrich Winkelmann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ulrich Winkelmann (* 1957 in Sprockhövel , also Ulli Winkelmann ) has been mayor of the city of Sprockhövel since 2014.

Life

Winkelmann attended schools in Sprockhövel and Hattingen and then completed an apprenticeship as a banker at Sparkasse Sprockhövel. After doing community service in the surgical outpatient department of the Martfeld Hospital (Schwelm), he went on to study in Kassel and Wuppertal. He was a trainer for the state sports association and the Sportjugend NRW for general sports instructor, elementary and adventure sports training and certifications and from 1999 to 2014 school social pedagogue at the Mathilde-Anneke-Schule in his hometown.

In 2014 he was surprisingly elected as the successor of Klaus Walterscheid as mayor of the city of Sprockhövel with 59.3 percent of the vote in a runoff election. Winkelmann was elected as a candidate by the CDU and the Greens after the SPD had appointed the mayor for 44 years. He will no longer run for the 2020 mayoral election.

In November 2014, at the initiative of the parliamentary group leader of the Greens in the city council, Thomas Schmitz, on behalf of the city, Winkelmann advised the ver.di union to cancel an anti-TTIP event with Werner Rügemer . He was referring to the writer Adriana Stern , who had accused Rügemers of a “cranky anti-Semitic worldview”, and an interview with Rügemers with ex-radio presenter Ken Jebsen, who was dismissed for allegations of anti-Semitism . After Rügemer had brought a complaint before the administrative court, Winkelmann issued a declaration of discontinuance and apologized. In the trial of Rügemer against Stern, however, the Cologne Regional Court confirmed the admissibility of the accusation of anti-Semitism based on Rügemer's statements.

Private

Winkelmann is married and lives in Sprockhövel with his wife and two children.
