Wiebke Winter: Bremen's first women's power in the CDU!

In a significant step for Bremen politics, Wiebke Winter, a 29-year-old politician of the CDU, took over the management of the Bremen CDU parliamentary group and is therefore the first woman in this position. In the election of the parliamentary group on June 16, 2025, 22 out of 24 members voted for the native of Kiel, while there was only one abstention and a no voice. It follows Frank Imhoff, who continues to sit as a member of the citizen, but has left the parliamentary board. Winter wants to make the CDU become the strongest force in Bremen by 2027 and that a vote goal of 30 percent is striving for. Imhoff deliberately initiated this change at half-time of the legislative period to ensure stability and clarity, as [Kreiszeitung] (https://www.kreiszeung.de/lokales/bremen/bremen-hat-jetze-ein-e-ein-- 93787762.html).

Winter, which moved to Bremen with her family in 1999, embodied a new generation within the CDU. With her background in law, which she studied at the renowned Bucerius Law School, she brings fresh ideas and a clear vision for the future of Bremen. She has already had experience as a deputy state chair of the CDU Bremen and was the state chair of the Junge Union in Bremen between 2019 and 2024. Winter emphasizes the importance of business and security, in particular the equipment of the police to ensure security in the city. "We need new energy and a new wind in Bremen and Bremerhaven," she explains in an [interview] (https://www.butenunbinnen.de/nachrichten/interview-winter-winter- Gradding chair-cdu-bremen-100.html) and praises the voices of the people in the city.

a challenge for the Senate

With her clear words, Wiebke Winter is directly aimed at Mayor Andreas Bovenschulte and his Senate, whom she criticizes as lame and without motivation. She plans to challenge him and has set the ambitious goal of playing a crucial role in the town hall at the latest in 2027. "It is urgently needed that we are talking new ideas and changes," said Winter. She calls her active presence on social media, where she herself has control over her channels, as an important instrument to spread her messages and achieve younger voters.

professional and political career

Wiebke Winter is not only a politician, but also a prospective lawyer. After graduating from high school Vegesack, she went to the Bucerius Law School, where she received his doctorate in Big Data and Artificial Intelligence in Health Care in 2022. She has started her career as a lawyer in commercial and corporate law since 2024 in Bremen. Her political career began with its entry into the Junge Union in 2012 and the CDU in 2013. Winter has made a name for itself over the years in both local and federal political committees and was a co -founder of the "climate saunion", an alliance that occurs for a sustainable future.

The decision for Wiebke Winter as the group leader could mean a turn for the Bremen CDU. With new ideas and fresh wind, she could give an important impulse for the region if she manages to convince her voters of her vision. It remains exciting to see how it continues with winter.
