Mayoral election in Bad Pyrmont: Böhnke wants to score points with a breath of fresh air!

The SPD Bad Pyrmont has sent Hans-Joachim Böhnke, a promising mayoral candidate, into the race. At the nomination meeting on Friday evening in the “city space” of the Pyrmont town hall, the 55-year-old, who has worked in the city administration since 1990, received a unanimous vote from 24 members present. With almost 100 members entitled to vote, the participation was informative. This was reported by dewezet.de, and the SPD board members are relying on Böhnke's skills to send a strong signal of creative power and proximity to the people in Bad Pyrmont.

Hans-Joachim Böhnke, who was born and lives in Bad Pyrmont, brings an impressive professional record to his candidacy. He has headed the building department since 2006 and has worked in various management positions, including in the public order and social services department. He is also an active member of the board of Bad Pyrmont AöR waste disposal. The father of three children is also involved in a variety of ways outside of his job: he is head of the hunting ring and a board member of the district hunters' association. In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his family, walking dogs and watching football, according to information from spd-badpyrmont.de.

Böhnke's vision for Bad Pyrmont

In his introduction as mayoral candidate, Böhnke placed particular emphasis on the need for more cooperation and positive communication in the city. “Expanding citizen participation” is at the top of his agenda. He also wants to implement upcoming construction projects, such as the modernization of the spa theater and the school center. Böhnke sees a functioning administration as an essential basis for the success of these projects, as dewezet.de notes.

He particularly emphasizes the topics of sustainability, climate protection and nature conservation as essential elements of any responsible urban development. His political priorities also include a lively city center and a sustainable transport concept. However, Böhnke, who is running as an independent candidate, feels closely connected to the values ​​of the SPD and has worked with the SPD parliamentary group for years. The expressions of support from the SPD local association chairmen Nicole Tappe and Matthias Schlüter show that they have great trust in Böhnke's experience and reliability.

A look into the future

The mayoral election in Bad Pyrmont will take place on September 13, 2026. Until then, the candidate still has a lot to do. The official nomination was carried out at the general meeting on November 21, 2025. Böhnke wants to actively involve citizens and strengthen dialogue with local actors in order to work together on a positive future for Bad Pyrmont. One last call to get involved: Bad Pyrmont is being designed – and the SPD with Hans-Joachim Böhnke wants to be at the forefront!
