Bernd Korbmann is the new mayor in Altertheim. In our short interview, he reveals his most important goals – and why he is just being slowed down.
At the municipal elections in March, 47 of the 52 municipalities in the Würzburg district also had to decide on mayor posts. In a series, this editorial staff interviews newly elected, reelected or soon to be former mayors. Today: Bernd Korbmann. He takes office as Mayor in Altertheim on May 1st.
Question: How have you used the time since the election to prepare for your position?
Bernd Korbmann: I used the period after the election to look at the current situation in town. Among other things, I got an idea of the administration for this. I also had extensive talks with counterparts, prepared the constitution and got an overall picture of the local infrastructure.
Which community task do you want to tackle first?
Korbmann: There is so much that I would like to accomplish during my tenure. I would like to tackle a large number of projects, unfortunately the corona pandemic slows the start somewhat. But I hope to be able to carry out my duties as mayor to the fullest extent soon!
Which long-term goal should be achieved after six years in office?
Korbmann: I have some projects that I hope will be successfully implemented after my tenure. On the one hand, the new local wastewater treatment plant is to be put into operation. The water supply for the residents is to be secured and the cohesion of the village community has ideally grown in six years. On the other hand, the cultural work should be expanded further and social facilities such as kindergarten and school should be available well and according to needs for the citizens. Overall, I want to make the living environment and infrastructure in Altertheim more attractive for everyone.
