Restructuring is necessary: Advisor groups require reformulation
The city of Ibbenbüren is taking a significant step towards inclusivity and representation with the formation of two new advisory bodies: the Senior Citizens' Council and the Council for People with Disabilities. These committees, intended to ensure the needs of seniors and people with disabilities are considered, are set to provide a platform for their voices to be heard.
The Senior Citizens' Council and the Council for People with Disabilities will represent the needs of their respective groups to the city council, administration, and the public in Ibbenbüren. The newly elected city council will form these bodies based on recommendations from associations, federations, and organizations active in their respective fields.
A number of organizations have shown active involvement and interest in participation. These include the Bundesverband Graue Panther e.V., a social organization defending against patronization and advocating for social rights; the DGB representing senior workers and retirees; the Landes-Seniorenbeirat Hamburg as a regional seniors' representative body; Ein Herz für Rentner e.V., which supports financially needy seniors; and Silbernetz, a network combating loneliness among seniors.
Organizations that were not previously represented in the councils but wish to contribute can contact Manfred Meßmann. His contact information is provided to encourage applications from organizations in the respective field. You can reach him by email at manfred.messmann@unsere-website or by phone at 05451/9315001.
The deadline for organizations to contact Manfred Meßmann is Tuesday, 30th September, to ensure a timely formation of the new Senior Citizens' Council and Council for People with Disabilities. The formation of these bodies is taking place after the local election in Ibbenbüren, which took place on the 19th of September 2025.
The establishment of the Senior Citizens' Council and the Council for People with Disabilities is a significant step towards inclusivity and representation in Ibbenbüren. These advisory bodies will not be affiliated with any specific religion or political party, and will serve as important committees in the city.
The Senior Citizens' Council and the Council for People with Disabilities are not intended to replace existing structures but to complement them, providing a dedicated platform for the voices of seniors and people with disabilities to be heard. The new councils are intended to ensure the needs of these groups are considered in the city of Ibbenbüren.
In conclusion, the formation of the Senior Citizens' Council and the Council for People with Disabilities is an exciting development for the city of Ibbenbüren. These advisory bodies will provide a much-needed platform for the voices of seniors and people with disabilities to be heard, and will help to ensure their needs are considered in the city. If you are part of an organization that fits this description and wishes to contribute, be sure to contact Manfred Meßmann before the deadline on the 30th of September.
