Geyer appointed as successor to Silberbach in Chief of Staff role
In a notable development, Ulrich Silberbach, the current chairman of the German Civil Service Federation (DBB), has announced his resignation due to health reasons, effective from June 23. Silberbach has been at the helm of the DBB since 2017, representing over 1.3 million civil servants and wage employees nationwide.
His departure comes at a time when the specialist director for civil service policy, Waldemar Dombrowski, has been ill for half a year. The future of Dombrowski's position remains uncertain.
Stepping into Silberbach's shoes is Volker Geyer, the current full-time vice-chairman of the DBB. Geyer, who started his career as a postman, negotiated the collective agreement with the federal government and municipalities in the spring.
The DBB has agreed to propose Geyer as the new chairman. However, the official announcement of the new leadership within the DBB is yet to be made.

Contending with the forthcoming leadership shift within the DBB, ongoing political discussions around civil service policy and legislation are imminent. The ongoing absence of the specialist director for civil service policy, Waldemar Dombrowski, adds a layer of complexity to these deliberations.
In the midst of general news and ongoing policy-and-legislation discussions, the management of the DBB faces significant challenges with Volker Geyer's ascension to the chairman position.
