Mayor Jörg Volleth

We live here in a small city with an attractive job and housing market as well as an optimal medical care structure. Erlangen therefore offers many people the highest quality of life and a good range of leisure activities. I particularly like the fact that, despite its size, our city is well connected and people often know each other. In addition, our many students bring life and a very special flair to our city.

The smartphone - I would like to, but I can't. My bike - I love my bike. And last but not least, my smartwatch - I just find it interesting what it knows about my life.

My department comprises the Office for Sports and Health Promotion and the Office for Fire and Disaster Protection. Our core tasks include supporting and advising Erlangen's sports clubs, allocating and maintaining sports facilities, maintaining a comprehensive range of sports activities, promoting sports and organizing sports events. In this way, we also ensure the safety of our more than 112,000 residents. We also develop and implement preparatory measures in the event of a disaster. As the first plant manager of the municipal greenery, waste management and street cleaning company, I am also responsible for issues relating to our municipal trees and green spaces, municipal waste collection, winter services and cleanliness in Erlangen. As Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the municipal subsidiary GEWOBAU Erlangen GmbH and GEWOBAU Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH, I am also the contact person for questions relating to municipal housing construction.
