A lot of discussions were necessary, but now it's clear: the district office in Munich will get 92.5 new jobs, more than half of them in the social sector.

A controversial decision.

District – The last hurdle has been taken.

After intensive discussion, the district council decided on 92.5 new jobs on Monday, more than half in the social sector.

In November, the district office initially applied for 149 jobs.


24 new jobs will be created in the job center, where the conversion to citizen income is pending.

Additional workers are also needed in the immigration authorities due to the war in Ukraine.

The CSU was initially skeptical about the ten required positions.

District Councilor Annabella Wunsch from Grünwald said: "It can't really be that we pay for tasks that the free state or the federal government delegate to us." The SPD continued to advocate its austerity course: "The jobs in the district office have doubled in ten years," said Group leader Florian Schardt.

"The economy was booming, we were doing well, we treated ourselves to a lot." The SPD sees District Administrator Christoph Göbel (CSU) as having a duty to cope with the "relatively high staffing level" and, if necessary, to relocate jobs.

The district office already has 1,461 jobs.


District Administrator: "We work well"

Peter Kremer (AfD) spoke of the "wrong path of mass immigration" and the "daily abuse of the right to asylum".

District Administrator Göbel replied: "The need for skilled workers is so great that the local population cannot cover it." He added: "The bus driver of the year was a refugee from Eritrea."


It doesn't matter whether they are government agencies or not: the Greens, Free Voters, FDP and ÖDP want the administration to work even when the number of cases increases.

Susanna Millennial (Greens) demanded that the ten jobs be created: "We see the district office as a service point, not as a waiting point." ÖDP district councilor Jolanta Wrobel, who comes from Poland, recalled a time in the 90s, "as people had to wait for days for an appointment to extend their work permits and sat on the floor in the hallways.” Her appeal: “I hope that we don’t get situations like this again.” You need more digitization, “otherwise we have every year Job discussions.” District Administrator Göbel made it clear: “We work well.

You don’t find conditions here where you have to wait for weeks.”


CSU district councilor Maximilian Böltl suggested a compromise: 80 positions will be vacant in the health department for corona contact tracing.

The government of Upper Bavaria will finance this staff until June 30th.

Almost 30 employees have completed administrative or commercial training.

The district office wants to offer you a permanent employment contract from July 1st.

Ten employees could then start at the immigration office.

A majority of the CSU, Greens, Free Voters, FDP and ÖDP voted for this.

They decided on a reserve of 400,000 euros in the budget.

The solution is not nice, said Christoph Nadler (Greens), "rather a 1b solution".

The problem of the missing jobs is only being postponed to the future.

SPD and AfD voted against it.

Schardt found: "It is correct

that the SPD is putting its finger in the wound with 149 new jobs.

Things are moving in the right direction now.”
