Since 2014 the city administration has grown by 817 posts, from 1,433 to 2,250. Over the same period the population rose by almost 9 per cent. Spending has almost doubled, staff and pension costs by 108 per cent. Debt per inhabitant in 2026 stands at 2.6 times the 2019 level.
The video summarises, the report documents: there you will find the annual table from 2014 to 2026, three charts and the references in the annual accounts, the budget plan and the consolidation plan. To the budget check 2014 to 2026.
The video only loads once you start it. It does not play by itself, and it does not measure who is watching.
CHECK
What was checked before publication
- The video shows the same figures as the report “Das Rathaus wächst und wächst”. What has been checked is that no figure in the video differs from the table in the report.
- The sources are in the report, not in the video. Anyone who wants to look up a figure follows the link below the player.
- The last slides of the video are assessment, not finding: they set out the four demands of this editorial team.
