New wind in the Munich city council: Stefanie Krammer takes over!

Sendling-Westpark, Deutschland - city policy in Munich remains exciting! Today, on July 2, 2025, it became known that Stefanie Krammer joined the SPD parliamentary group as the new city councilor. It follows Christian Vorländer, who has switched to the Munich trade fair. Krammer, 37 years old and living in the Sendling-Westpark, takes over her mandate for the remaining months of the current term. With her professional experience as a second representative of IG Metall Munich, she brings a breath of fresh air to the political landscape of the city council.

In her new office, Krammer is committed to fair working conditions in industry and in craft. It emphasizes the decisive role of qualified workers for the economic strength of Munich. Krammer has been a member of the SPD since 2006, was the chair of Jusos Bayern for two years and also actively participated in the Sendling-Westpark district committee. In addition to her political work, she is the mother of two sons and wants to campaign particularly for a fair municipal economic policy.

Change in the city council

The exchange in the city government does not end. Christian Vorländer started his new position as Head of Mobility at Messe Munich on July 1, 2025. This is part of a series of changes that the SPD parliamentary group affects particularly strongly during this term of office. For example, Nikolaus Gradl left the SPD faction and is now sitting on the committee. Volt City Councilor Felix Sproll and the Greens City Councilor Anna Hanusch have also resigned and turned to other political tasks.

But the movement does not stop here: CSU City Councilor Hans Theiss was elected to the Bundestag, while City Councilor Delija Balidemaj switched from the Greens to CSU. The same was true for Rudolf Schabl - he came to the CSU from the free voters. These constant changes show that Munich politics is currently in a dynamic state and the parties are partly faced with new challenges.

economy and infrastructure

The SPD city council group, which recently announced the resignation of a long-standing member, also fights against economic challenges, such as the continued stop of the city administration by the end of the year due to financial bottlenecks. There are also plans to introduce minimum prices for Uber and similar services, which has met with great interest and some debates in the city council.

Apart from these matters, the city has rejected the plans for a landscape protection area in the northeast, and the municipal utilities are facing allegations of environmental crimes. It is clear that Munich is still facing major challenges, and the new seating arrangement in the city council will be crucial for how the city reacts to them.

What's next? Stay tuned, because developments in the Munich city council and the urban economy are remarkable and of great importance for all Munich people!
