Dusseldorf/Gelsenkirchen – From the police to politics? Possible spectacular personalities in NRW! Düsseldorf’s Lord Mayor Dr. Stephan Keller (51, CDU) proposes Britta Zur (40) to the state capital city council as the new head of department for sports and citizen services.
Britta Zur has been chief of police in Gelsenkirchen since the end of 2019 and is therefore at the head of an authority with 1,700 employees. Before that, she worked in the Düsseldorf judiciary for twelve years – first as a judge, then as a head of department, and most recently from 2009 as a public prosecutor and spokesperson for the Düsseldorf public prosecutor’s office.
The native of Düsseldorf (two children) studied law at the Friedrich Wilhelm University in Bonn and completed her legal clerkship at the Krefeld District Court.
The position to head the department for sports and citizen services was publicly advertised. The council will decide on the appointment at its meeting on Thursday, April 7th.
