Overview

  • The Hessian Interior Ministry discontinued disciplinary proceedings against former Frankfurt Mayor Peter Feldmann on May 8, 2025.
  • Feldmann will retain his pension, with the ministry deeming its revocation disproportionate due to mitigating factors.
  • The case stemmed from the AWO affair, involving allegations about Feldmann's partner's salary and misuse of resources during his tenure.
  • Feldmann was convicted in December 2022 for corruption and fined, but he had repaid €33,000 to AWO Frankfurt before the conviction was finalized.
  • The ministry's decision included a formal disapproval of Feldmann's actions, citing significant reputational damage as a mitigating factor.
