Nordhausen Sees Changes in Local Politics
In a surprising turn of events, Volker Leupold, a prominent figure in Nordhausen's political landscape, has stepped down from his roles in both the county council and city council. His resignation has left a vacancy in the city council's leadership.

Grunert, a seasoned political figure with communal experience as a city council member in Ellrich, is eager to embrace his new role. He expresses confidence in the AfD's strong political presence in the region, boasting around 120 members from various social strata.
As the new leader, Grunert aims to maintain and strengthen the AfD's prominent position in South Harz. He also aspires to take on government responsibility at all political levels, with a focus on fostering unity among forces in Nordhausen to achieve a win-win situation.
Meanwhile, the topic of County Commissioner Jendricke's leadership in the SPD District Association in Nordhausen has been a subject of discussion, with both criticism and praise being expressed.
In a notable move, Leupold is replacing his son as the new city council member in the Nordhausen AfD city council faction. No reason for Leupold's job-related move out of the Nordhausen district has been disclosed.
The city council's vacancy has brought the topic of faster internet in Nordhausen into focus. The community is eagerly awaiting the next steps in this regard.
