A new wind in the Munich city council: Stefanie Krammer takes over!
Urban politics in Munich remains exciting! Today, on July 2, 2025, it was announced that Stefanie Krammer has joined the SPD parliamentary group as the new city councilor. She follows Christian Vorländer, who moved to Messe München. Krammer, 37 years old and living in Sendling-Westpark, will take up her mandate for the remaining months of the current term of office. With her professional experience as second representative of IG Metall Munich, she brings a breath of fresh air into the city council's political landscape.
In her new position, Krammer is committed to fair working conditions in industry and crafts. She emphasizes the crucial role of qualified workers in Munich's economic strength. Krammer has been a member of the SPD since 2006, was chairwoman of the Bavarian Jusos for two years and also played an active role in the Sendling-Westpark district committee. In addition to her political work, she is the mother of two sons and particularly wants to campaign for fair local economic policy.
Change in the city council
The exchange in the city government never ends. Christian Vorländer took up his new position as Head of Mobility at Messe München on July 1, 2025. This is part of a series of changes that are particularly affecting the SPD parliamentary group during this term of office. For example, Nikolaus Gradl left the SPD parliamentary group and now sits on the committee as a non-party. Volt City Councilor Felix Sproll and Green Party City Councilor Anna Hanusch have also resigned from their mandates and turned to other political tasks.
But the movement doesn't stop there: CSU city councilor Hans Theiss was elected to the Bundestag, while city councilor Delija Balidemaj switched from the Greens to the CSU. The same applied to 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 that the parties are sometimes facing new challenges.
Economy and infrastructure
The SPD city council group, which recently announced the resignation of a long-standing member, is also fighting against economic challenges, such as the city administration's ongoing hiring freeze until the end of the year due to financial bottlenecks. There are also plans to introduce minimum pricing for Uber and similar services, which has attracted a lot of interest and some debate in the city council.
Apart from these matters, the city has rejected plans for a conservation area in the north-east and the municipal utility is facing allegations of environmental crimes. It is clear that Munich continues to face major challenges, and the new seating arrangement in the city council will be crucial to how the city responds to them.
What's next? Stay tuned, because the developments in the Munich city council and the city's economy are remarkable and of great importance for all Munich residents!
