Contacts, council group and current issues from Rietberg.
Local politics
Rietberg lies in the south of Gütersloh District on the upper reaches of the River Ems and is known as the “town of beautiful gables” and as a former host of the State Garden Show. Its historic old town, the garden show park, established villages and the mix of town, countryside, farming, small businesses and club life shape Rietberg’s character.
Local politics is very tangible here: transport, public safety, schools, families, urban development, the town centre, local business, agriculture, nature and recreation areas, and an administration close to its residents all have a direct effect on people’s everyday lives.
The Rietberg local branch wants to be a point of contact for residents who know their town and would like to pass on information, raise issues or get involved in local politics.
Town council
The AfD is also represented on Rietberg Town Council, where it raises local issues from the residents’ point of view.
