The city of Schenefeld, located in the Hamburg metropolitan region, is seeking a new head for its Department of Education and Youth, a position becoming vacant due to the retirement of the current officeholder. The announcement, made public through job postings on Stepstone and Jobware, signals a leadership transition within the municipal administration.
The role encompasses responsibility for the oversight of educational facilities, youth services, and related social programs within Schenefeld. The city describes itself as “young, vibrant and future-oriented,” suggesting an ambition to maintain a progressive approach to social welfare and community development. The search for a qualified candidate reflects the importance the city places on these areas.
The Department of Education and Youth falls under the broader purview of Fachbereich II – Public Safety, Youth, Education and Social Affairs, headed by Arlette Janson-Hagebölling. Kathrin Steinbügl and Matthias Belau serve as Fachdienstleitung (department heads) within the structure, alongside Anja Malkus. The department’s address is Holstenplatz 3-5, 22869 Schenefeld, and it can be contacted at +49 40 83037-151 or via email at [email protected].
The Jugend- und Kulturzentrum Schenefeld (JUKS), a significant socio-cultural center in Schleswig-Holstein, hosts a series of events in the coming months, including a Repair Café on March 14th, concerts featuring Henrik Freischlader on April 11th, THE ROOP on April 24th, and Randy Hansen on April 25th. A celebration of democracy is scheduled for May 8th at the Schenefeld Rathausplatz, followed by another Repair Café on May 9th. Further events include performances by Yared Dibaba on May 21st and Thorbjørn Risager & The Black Tornado on July 10th. The JUKS also offers children’s and youth programs, and is available for rental for private events.
A separate, concurrent search is underway for a Fachbereichsleitung for the Department of Public Safety, Youth, Education and Social Affairs, as advertised on Bebee. This suggests a potential restructuring or division of responsibilities within the broader Fachbereich II, though the precise implications remain unclear.
The city has not announced a timeline for filling either leadership position, and no interim appointments have been made public.
