Drebkau dares the step: rent your mayor!
In Drebkau, the "Rent A Mayor" initiative is launched, which would like to promote fresh and direct contact between the administration and the citizens. Mayor Paul Köhne is very committed here and offers his help in various areas. After an article in a local magazine, he was inspired by a similar project from Baden-Württemberg and now wants to support people in their everyday life. The first bookings are already ongoing, and on June 29, Köhne will be active as auctioneer at the sports festival in Leuthen to collect money for a lawn robot, says LR Online above.

Among other things, he will step in as a kitchen aid or help mowing the lawn. "The goal is more closely, dialogue and insight into the reality of people here in Drebkau," Köhne describes the initiative. He wants to show that administration can be human and that a direct exchange has many positive effects.

Such measures are of great importance, especially in times of digitization and political alienation. Mayor Köhne has a good hand for such projects and takes the concerns of the citizens seriously.
Two clubs in Drebkau, including the Drebkauer Footballer and SV Leuthen / Klein Oßnig, have brought their interest in collaboration. Whether as a helper at club festivals or in social institutions, the possibilities are diverse and should help to strengthen the sense of community and bring politicians closer to the citizens.
