Mayor Michael Gerdhenrich

Dear Beckum residents,
dear visitors,

Welcome to the website of the city of Beckum. With its approximately 500 employees, the city is one of the largest employers in Beckum and has a variety of tasks and offers a wide range of services. On the following pages you will find a round-the-clock overview of the services offered by the city and your contact persons as well as the corresponding contact details. In this way, you can deal with many concerns quickly and without having to make personal contact.

Please feel free to contact me at any time with questions, suggestions or criticism - your opinion is important to me. You can reach me by e-mail at gerdhenrich@beckum.de
or by phone at 02521 29-1000.

Beckum is a city that is characterised by a strong sense of identification and a sense of belonging to the people who live here and who want to make a difference here. The people's expectations of politics and administration can and must be high.

In order to develop Beckum further, we need good ideas, the courage to implement these ideas and constructive cooperation between politics and administration that is oriented towards the common good. I will work for this with unconditional commitment from the very first moment.

Below you can find out more about me and my tasks as mayor. You will also find current news and insights into my daily work.

I hope to meet as many of you as possible soon in person at very different occasions and encounters. Even then, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Stay healthy and take care of yourself and your fellow human beings!
Yours Michael Gerdhenrich
