Weissenburg-Gunzenhausen: The Highlights - Judgment: Captain could potentially stay as city council member

On May 13th, a city in Middle Franconia became a member of the Altmuhlsee Association and contributed workers to the organization. It was mentioned that the boatman has been employed by the association for some time now. After being elected to the city council, the city questioned whether his employment was compatible with his council position. The district office ruled against it based on the Bavarian Municipal Code. As a result, the man lost his council seat.

But the man filed an urgent appeal with the Ansbach Administrative Court, and was successful. In response, the city of Gunzenhausen filed their own appeal with the Administrative Court of Appeal. The city believed that employment and council membership are compatible, as the boatman is fully dedicated to the Altmuhlsee Association.
