Politics in Munich functions like a circular flow system. All organs are connected together and influence each other. Thus the Lord Mayor or the Lord Mayor Executive Committee of the Administration.
The administration and the district committees inform the city council and the city council decides which projects will be implemented. The city council in turn, is controlled by the Lord Mayor.
Through their election, citizens influence the entire
process. They are making sure of the circulation.

To the check
The budget covers Munich’s entire income and expenditure. That is currently 7 billion euros a year. Like the heart of the city, it pumps the city combing plant into various areas. For example, in nursing homes, streets, schools or environmental protection. Also, the many employees of the city, like kindergarten teachers, cemetery administrators, traffic controllers and teachers, are paid with this money. The city treasurer is elected by the city council.
In the political circulatory system, citizens are the oxygen that breathes life into the entire system. Because they elect the various political bodies and thus give them the mandate to govern. These bodies, such as the Lord Mayor, City Council, District Committees and Administration, are closely linked. They work towards each other, discuss and check each other. For the system to work well, everyone involved has to throw the ball at each other, just like a well-rehearsed team. The playmakers are the citizens. And those who don’t participate are missing on the pitch and leave the game to others.
Just food that comes on the table? No. Then I better vote.
