New cooperation agreement: CDU and SPD for more security in Saarlouis!

On April 17, 2025, the CDU and the SPD in Saarlouis signed a cooperation agreement. The main objective of this agreement is the expansion of the city center to increase the income of the city. The new Mayor Marc Speicher emphasizes the urgency to improve the quality of life in Saarlouis.

In recent years, the feeling of security of the citizens has increasingly changed. The coalition therefore intends to take targeted measures to improve security in the city. This includes planning initiatives that address the decline in cleanliness in Saarlouis. Discursive approaches are developed to increase cleanliness through active citizen participation.

cooperation approach for more security

In parallel to the agreement between the CDU and the SPD, Interior Minister Klaus Bouillon has held a video conference with representatives of various municipalities. This meeting dealt with the experience and an intermediate record of the current security partnerships, which have proven to be necessary, especially in the period of Corona pandemic.

bouillon emphasized the importance of a networked interaction between municipal regulatory services and the police. The security partnerships are designed in such a way that both the objective security and the subjective feeling of security of the citizens should be strengthened. Particularly positive results have already been found, but Bouillon also sees a continuous need for optimization.

In order to further improve security work, special training measures at the Saarland administrative school are planned. The Saarland city and community day is also commissioned to advertise these security partnerships. There are currently partnerships with Neunkirchen, Saarbrücken, Sulzbach, Merzig, Dillingen, Saarlouis and Völklingen.

strengthening the collaboration

The new cooperation agreement between the city of Saarlouis and the initiatives of the Interior Minister show a clear direction towards more security and cooperation with the citizens. The changed perception of security and cleanliness is a relevant topic that requires both political and social attention.

In order to support this process, the video conference of Bouillon could be the start of future regular security conferences. This would not only maintain the security interests of the citizens, but also sustainably promote the exchange between the various actors. Media contacts are also available for further information, such as Katrin Thomas, the press spokeswoman for Saarbrücken.

The current developments in Saarlouis and the emerging security initiatives are a step in the right direction to effectively meet the challenges in the city. The cooperation between citizens, politics and administration is of central importance.
