District Administrator Siegurd Heinze withdraws from politics after 36 years!

In Brandenburg counties, things will soon come down to the matter: in 2026 there are six district elections, including the extremely important election in the Oberspreewald-Lausitz district. The decision of District Administrator Siegurd Heinze attracts special attention not to make himself available for another term. On May 8, 2026, his long -term term of office ends, which he has shaped with commitment and a variety of experiences.

Siegurd Heinze has whirled in local politics for almost 36 years. After eight years as official director and another eight years as mayor of Schipkau, he served as a district administrator for over 16 years. This information comes from Osl-online.de . Many surprised his announcement to do at the district council meeting on June 26, 2025 in Klettwitz. "I would like to inform the district council and the public about the upcoming change at an early stage," said Heinze.

The withdrawal as part of a major change

A significant change is that Grit, the first deputy, has also announced her retreat. After 44 years in the district administration, including 16 years in the office of the first deputy, she will look for new challenges on June 30, 2026. There will also be no application for re-election, such as legal framework for office broadcasts

The legal framework for such transitions regulates the State of Brandenburg's regulatory law. In accordance with brainvers.brandenburg.de , under certain conditions, their term in office can continue beyond the regular date up to a maximum period of six months. This regulation not only affects the district elections, but is a general part of the territorial administration of Brandenburg.

With the upcoming elections and the associated change in the management, it becomes exciting how the political landscape in the Oberspreewald-Lausitz district will develop. It remains to be seen who will ultimately apply for Siegurd Heinze, while the voters hand over their votes.
