Resume
"I was born in Fürth in 1965. After graduating from high school in 1984 at the Marie-Therese-Gymnasium in Erlangen, I completed an apprenticeship as a bank clerk at what was then Bayerische Vereinbank AG in Erlangen. In 1991, I earned a degree in business administration from Friedrich-Alexander University in Nuremberg. I then worked at various banks in Erlangen in the field of commercial real estate financing. On March 1, 2000, I was first elected as a full-time city council member for the City of Erlangen and appointed head of the Department of Economy and Labor. Since 2003, I have also been responsible for the City Treasury; the department has since been renamed “Economy and Finance.”
An Interview with Konrad Beugel
To put it simply: the complexity. This department deals with many different topics—either because they have economic implications or because they have financial implications.
First: The healthy growth of our economy! If it is successful, there will be promising companies and jobs, and our citizens will have the income they need to make a living.
And second: sound finances! To create a city that is pleasant to live in and worth living in—today and sustainably into the future.
Our primary goal is not to attract businesses from other locations to relocate to Erlangen. We want to offer entrepreneurs and our existing businesses favorable conditions for growth. And anyone who starts a business here or “does business” here will find a good transportation infrastructure, well-functioning networks within the business community, a top-tier university, and an economic development agency that “listens to the business community”!
As a teenager, I might have been able to imagine that, but today I’d answer that question with a “no.” Besides, Erlangen is already excellently represented by our Minister of State, Joachim Herrmann.
The Stutterheim Palace, the palace gardens with the palace and the orangery—and the "Berg."
During the Christmas season at the Forest Christmas Market—and in the spring and summer in the castle gardens or the botanical garden.
Pop and classical—we also love a mix, like "Classical Meets Pop"
My bikes (one personal and one for work), my Beetle convertible, and my garden—the greenery is such a treat for the eyes.
The Economic Affairs Department can always be reached during normal business hours—by phone, fax, or in person. And outside of business hours, of course, by email—“24/7.” All relevant information can be found on the city’s website.
