Tina Birke's fixed-term contract expired on March 31st - but the employee only received the news that she would be retained on her last day of work. “Communication was faltering from the start,” says Birke.

She moved the desk one floor up to the building authority about a year ago. Mayor Falk Sluyterman sees no problem in the fact that the city council's decision was only made in March, “it was just a pure formality” He had already had an initial conversation with Birke about the future position in October and regrets that she took this step.. And once again the city of Schongau finds itself without a location supporter. Previously, Yvonne Soyvonne Voigt had quit after a personal stroke, and the first business developer, Martin Voigts, had to quit after his wife died in a car accident.. The city council had signaled at its January meeting that they would like to continue working with her, but the continuation of the staff position was only voted on in a non-public meeting on March 12.
