Mayor Thomas Kerkhoff

Dear citizens, dear guests,
As mayor of Bocholt, I am pleased about your interest in the internet pages of the city of Bocholt!
Nowadays, municipal websites are the digital "business card of a city" - a contact point for citizens, tourists and business people. It is not only the visual impression that counts, but also the content and the citizen service. Fast and comprehensible information is required. I will continue to work on this page with my staff in order to provide you with service and information.
I hope you enjoy "surfing" and would be pleased to welcome you again soon here on bocholt.de or personally in our beautiful city!
Your Thomas Kerkhoff
"Mayor on the spot"
"Mayor on site", under this motto Bocholt's mayor Thomas Kerkhoff invites Bocholt's citizens to an open dialogue in an informal atmosphere. Current topics that concern people in the neighbourhood can be discussed there.
Registration is not required. Questions can be submitted in advance by emailing buergermeister-vor-ort(at)bocholt(dot)de.
Following the open dialogue, there will be an opportunity for a brief, confidential one-to-one discussion with Mayor Kerkhoff.
