On January 24, 2025, Jochen Hartmann, the chairman of the bourgeois departure (Bamh), is sharp criticism of the Mayor of Mülheim Dagmar Mühlenfeld. Hartmann blames Mühlenfeld for the failure to raise objections to the abolition of the independent police headquarters in the city in 2007. According to Lokalklick.eu Hartmann describes the current security situation in Mülheim as insufficient and compares it with a "worm forest" from Essen.

The background of this criticism is the intended closure of the main guard on Von-Bock-Straße. This decision is seen as part of the abolition of the district guards, which could lead to a loss of "slippers security" for the citizens. Hartmann has already pointed out this problem in a letter to the editor and an open letter to the mayor, which has remained unanswered so far.

security situation and financial concerns

Hartmann also expresses doubts as to whether a new main guard in Mülheim can actually be built in view of the financial situation of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. He speaks of a possible “salami tactic” of the police that does not benefit the citizens. The bourgeois departure demands from Mühlenfeld to quickly clarify this matter to ensure security in Mülheim.

Dagmar Mühlenfeld, born on March 2, 1951 in Mülheim an der Ruhr, is an established local politician and member of the SPD. She was the directly elected mayor of Mülheim and has been on the supervisory board of RWE AG since September 20, 2007. Mühlenfeld lives in the city, since her birth in Mülheim, is married and has an adult son. Her husband, Rolf Mühlenfeld, has been a city councilor in Mülheim an der Ruhr.

since 1999

political career and projects

Before her political ascent, Mühlenfeld was a teacher and headmistress of the Luisenschule. She has been a member of the SPD since May 1, 1975. In the mayoral election in 2003, she won almost 53 % of the votes against her CDU candidate. For the next term in 2009 it was again confirmed with 43.1 % of the votes.

An outstanding project that Mühlenfeld has promoted is the Ruhrbania project. During her term, she was also a member of the German delegation in the regions committee and deputy chair of the plenary session of the Ruhr regional association. Their commitment also included the foundation of the campaign alliance "Get out of debt!". Mühlenfeld is still an important personality in local politics, although in 2015 it was not replaced for re -election and was replaced by Ulrich Scholten, who took office on October 21, 2015

The current discussion about the police guards underlines the challenges with which Mühlenfeld is faced with, and the expectations that citizens have for their leadership. With persistent security concerns in Mülheim remains to be seen how the mayor will react to the demands of the citizens and the Bamh.
