Richard Hanning: Nottuln's veteran and passionate fighter died

Richard Hanning, the long -time deputy mayor of the municipality of Nottuln, died on April 15, 2025 at the age of 89. The native of Daruper has shaped local politics in his homeland for many years. His commitment was particularly pronounced because he campaigned out of Christian responsibility to improve the life situation of the people in the region. District Administrator Dr. Christian Schulze Pellengahr honored Hanning in an obituary and recalled his influence on the community.

The loss of Hanning not only marks an end to the municipality of Nottuln, but also raises questions about the future political orientation. In view of his commitment, the endeavor to further develop the community and the region is of great importance. Schulze Pellengahr, who also set personal resolutions for 2025, plans to use his time more intensively for family and friends and the promotion of projects to improve security structures.

focus on safety and infrastructure

The improvement of the security structures also includes preparation for possible NATO troop movements in the event of an attack on NATO countries. This includes the need to keep streets and bridges in good condition and to ensure the supply of soldiers during their transit. Schulze Pellengahr also sees the need to make critical infrastructure such as hospital care and energy and water supply more resistant, especially against cyber attacks and sabotage.

In this context, it is important that the community reacts to current demographic developments. According to an analysis, the population is expected to shrink in rural areas such as the Coesfeld district. In contrast, some urban spaces show an increase. This demographic change is a challenge for local politics and could also be viewed as an opportunity for social dialogue and modernization.

challenges and review

for 2025 numerous challenges are to be expected, including the implementation of the Bundestag election and the implementation of construction projects in the municipality. The district administrator also does not forget the negative memories of past events, such as the 19 randers in the past year, and emphasizes the need to minimize future risks.

While the region moves towards Richard Hanning's respectful commemorative period, the municipality uses this opportunity to rethink their course and to reflect on the values ​​and commitment, for which Hanning stood. In a time of change, the appeal for closer citizen participation and cooperative democracy becomes increasingly pressing and is a key to a successful future.
