Strength for office-holders

Local politics is the basis of our democracy. Those who are involved in local politics must not become targets of hatred and violence. When people who work for our community are threatened or attacked, a free and democratic society also comes under pressure. Strength for office-holders opposes this. It is the first central point of contact that provides information and guidance to elected representatives at the local level. Whether you are a mayor, a district administrator or a member of the city council, the portal acts as a guide and points out options for action and contacts in order to master the challenge of an attack and to hold those responsible accountable. And it gives tips on prevention. Strength for office-holders is an initiative of the Körber-Stiftung in cooperation with the German Association of Cities and Towns, the German Association of Counties and the German Association of Cities and Towns.
