Smirking CDU District Administrator Götz Ulrich and the Privateer Protection Accounts at Sparkasse BurgenlandkreisThe Burgenlandkreis District Council meeting on 29 June 2026 was once again highly revealing in many respects—particularly regarding the peculiar behavior of the people's representatives in this "democracy of ours." Heik Meißner, who has—as he puts it—a whole series of battlefields to deal with because he has been and continues to be treated unfairly all the way up to the Federal Constitutional Court, took the opportunity to ask a question during the 30-minute public question period. Smirking CDU District Administrator Götz UlrichBefore asking his actual question, Heik Meißner wanted to know whether, since the previous District Council meeting had been canceled, he would be allowed to ask two questions. This brought a hearty laugh to the face of the district administrator Götz Ulrich (CDU), beloved by many, as can be seen in the video.The District Council Chairman Andy Haugk (CDU-aligned and loyal to the establishment), also beloved by many, likewise referred with a smile to the council's rules of procedure, according to which a citizen—that is, the sovereign, the employer of the district administrator—is permitted only one question per meeting, along with two follow-up questions. That was the rule the council members came up with themselves. Presumably in the interest of democracy and citizen participation. Or perhaps so that this citizen, this sovereign, would not become too bothersome by asking too many questions at once. It should be noted that written answers are required to be provided within one month. When I asked a question at the previous District Council meeting, the district administrator's deputy, Dr. Ariane Körner, also beloved by many, allowed this deadline to expire. The written reply was not prepared until several days later and reached me several additional days after that. The council's rules of procedure therefore appear to serve merely as a kind of guideline for those who adopted them. At the same time, they function as an instrument for keeping the rabble... ahem, the sovereign... at arm's length. The smiling grin of the CDU district administrator Götz Ulrich, beloved by many, and of his adjutant Andy Haugk is highly indicative of these two elected "representatives of the people" and their understanding of democracy. It should also be noted that, during a previous public question period, one citizen was permitted to ask two questions. Those questions were probably not quite as critical and were therefore allowed by District Council Chairman and self-appointed protector of the district administrator Andy Haugk. Privateer Protection Accounts at Sparkasse BurgenlandkreisHeik Meißner's question concerns accounts at Sparkasse that are referred to there as P-accounts or garnishment protection accounts. If the Sparkasse receives information from a court or another institution indicating that an account is intended to be subject to garnishment, even though there is not yet a final legally binding decision, the Sparkasse restricts the account holder's access to funds to €1,589.99 per month. In other words, it is not the account holder who is being protected, but rather those "privateers" who intend to help themselves to the account holder's assets in the future. That is why Heik Meißner refers to these accounts as privateer protection accounts.As a rule, those affected are not informed of this by the Sparkasse and only discover such restrictions when they attempt to make transfers or other payment transactions (such as direct debit payments), which then become impossible once the protected garnishment allowance has been exceeded. According to a press release, the Sparkasse is said to have 500 accounts classified as garnishment protection accounts. In the past, the Chairman of the Management Board of Sparkasse Burgenlandkreis, Mario Kerner, was unable to provide any information as to whether the figure of 500 for such accounts was correct. Heik Meißner therefore put the question to the district administrator, who serves as chairman of the Sparkasse's highest supervisory body, the Administrative Board. The district administrator, beloved by many, stated that he would answer the question in writing and determine the exact number. In response to Heik Meißner's follow-up question, the District Council Chairman Andy Haugk, beloved by many, stepped in—acting in his self-appointed role as protector of the district administrator—and declared the matter settled because, in his view, no such thing as privateer protection accounts exists.
