Important local council meeting in Riekofen: All citizens are invited!

On November 12, 2025, a meeting of the Riekofen municipal council will take place in the meeting room of the Sünching administrative community. The meeting, which begins at 7:30 p.m., will be chaired by First Mayor Schiller Johann, who already issued the announcement on November 6, 2025. A central topic of this meeting concerns the contract for the management and operational management of the municipal forest as well as the establishment of the desired cycle path from Riekofen to Sünching.

The Bechau forest path and various items under “Other” are also on the agenda. A non-public meeting is planned following the public meeting. The latest information on the agenda can be found on the Riekofen municipality website, where citizens are encouraged to actively participate in the meeting.

Important decisions from the last meeting

Significant decisions were also made at the last meeting on September 10, 2025. This included the issuance of a parking space statute and a playground statute as well as the appointment of a municipal election officer for the 2026 local elections. After the budget statutes for 2025 were dealt with, there was also a statement from the municipal supervisory authority. This session, which was characterized by the decree of the Hessian Ministry of the Interior on election preparation and the legal basis of local law, shows the ongoing adjustments and challenges that the municipality is facing.

Municipal law not only forms the framework for local laws, but is also crucial for the quality of life in cities. It regulates numerous areas such as urban planning, waste disposal and the provision of social services. In Riekofen this plays an important role in ensuring self-government and the associated citizen participation. Self-government law enables municipalities to regulate their own affairs independently.

Social challenges and civic engagement

Today, municipalities are facing various challenges, including climate protection, digitalization and demographic change. The Riekofen municipal council is open to citizens' participation in decision-making processes, which can be achieved through forms such as referendums or online platforms. Such measures promote transparency and the fair distribution of resources in the community.

With the upcoming meeting it remains to be seen what decisions will be made and how they will affect the quality of life and infrastructure in Riekofen. To avoid long waiting times, citizens should make an appointment by telephone in advance.
