Driedorf has a new mayor: Simon Rompf wins clearly!

On February 9, 2025, the mayoral election in Driedorf in the Lahn-Dill district caused a stir. Simon Rompf, who was the only candidate, was elected with 79.02 percent of the vote. Only 20.98 percent of voters spoke out against him. The turnout was 53.39 percent, which is a respectable result for a municipal election.

Rompf, who acts as parliamentary group leader of the Free Voting Community (FWG) in the municipal council, will succeed Carsten Braun, who is now the district administrator of the Lahn-Dill district. Rompf received both the support of the FWG and the CDU for its candidacy. He said that he had had nothing against several candidates, which would have indicated the possibility of a lively campaign. In the transition period, the first deputy Klaus Bastian (CDU) heads the town hall until Rompf officially takes office.

political developments in the region

On the same day there were also elections in Löhnberg (Limburg-Weilburg), where three candidates fought for the mayor position: Reiner Greve (independent), Wolfgang Grün (independent) and Carsten Kaps (free voters). In Löhnberg, the administration is required by a financial crisis that urgently needs to be addressed.

These elections not only reflect the political currents in the region, but also the commitment of citizens in local decision -making processes, which has been particularly noticeable in recent years.
