Stefan Zierke gives up local politics after 15 years!
A surprising end to a long political career: Stefan Zierke, the SPD politician from Prenzlau, withdraws from local politics after over 15 years of committed work. Zierke, who had been active in the city council of Prenzlau and in the Uckermärkische district council since 2008, has announced that it would put down his offices at the local level. Zierke explains about the reasons for this step that temporal and professional additional burdens are decisive. He also refers to the need for a strong soreness in the private and professional environment in order to be able to devote himself intensively to local political work, such as nordkurier.de reports.
Stefan Zierke, born on December 5, 1970 in Prenzlau, has made a name for itself not only in the local and federal politics over the years. He has been a member of the German Bundestag since 2013 and belonged to the traffic committee in the past legislative period. Among other things, he was spokesman for the Brandenburg state group in the SPD parliamentary group and has campaigned for tourism policy issues. Zierke remains connected to the region as a member of the Bundestag as a member of the Bundestag and as President of the Federal Association of Camping Economy in Germany.
successor and future missions
With his retreat, Zierke hands over relevant mandates to his successors. Uwe Jürgen Schmidt will provide a breath of fresh air at the city council and Peter Reiss from Brüssow in the district council. Zierke is convinced that the two bring the necessary resources and enthusiasm to successfully continue the municipal work.
In the SPD, you traditionally consider yourself a local party, which has always been explained by the needs of cities, municipalities and counties, as already explained on [demo-online.de] (https://www.demoonline.de/aktuelles/das-s--kommunalen-der-Spd parliamentary group). Zierke himself was part of these structures, which also shaped him during his time in the Bundestag. After the federal elections on February 23, 2025, in which Zierke lost the direct mandate in constituency 57 to Hannes Gnauck from the AfD, the SPD faction is facing a change. Many MPs, including Zierke, did not run again.
A look into the future
The challenges of the coming years are obvious. Zierke emphasizes that the new Alde at the local level - with a strong commitment to the regional needs - must lay the foundations for a prosperous future of the Uckermark. His experiences continue to flow into the political landscape, while the new faces are ready to take responsibility and keep the SPD alive in the region.
