Erlangen City Council

You can find the current agenda items in our municipal council information system.

The current meeting dates for the entire year can be found in our municipal council information system.

The duties of the City Council are regulated in the Bavarian municipal code and in the city's rules of procedure. Above all, it decides on all matters relating to its own sphere of activity and the delegated sphere of activity, unless they are assigned to committees or fall under the responsibility of the Lord Mayor.

The members of the City Council carry out their activities freely, based solely on their convictions in the public interest, and are not bound by any orders.

The City Council determines the committees to be formed, their composition and their areas of responsibility. Resolutions are passed in meetings. Meetings are open to the public, unless considerations of the public good or the justified claims of individuals prevent this. Everyone has access to the public meetings of the City Council and its committees. An overview of meeting dates and topics can be found in the council information system.

Honorary members of the City Council can submit motions for consideration by the City Council or its committees.

The next election is in March 2032 and the current City Council's term of office runs from May 1, 2026 to April 30, 2032.

The Erlangen City Council consists of 50 members and the mayor. City council members may form political groups. A city council political group must include at least three city council members who do not already belong to another political group.
