Was the head of the Burgenlandkreis Job Center taken out of the line of fire?


At the Burgenlandkreis district council meeting on December 8, 2025, one agenda item was the dismissal of the head of the Job Center, Ms. Patricia Kudwien — a matter that certainly gives one pause.


During the public question period, Heik Meißner asked whether the district council members were aware that a supervisory complaint against Patricia Kudwien was pending, and that the council members were expected to decide on releasing the head of the Job Center without knowing this — which could imply that her work was in order.

It was clarified that the issue was not about releasing her from liability, but about removing her from office. The position of head of the Job Center is to be assigned to another person. The district council chairman did not want to reveal who that person would be at that point in the meeting, as the rules of procedure did not allow it. Anyone watching the video can see how persistently — and quite enthusiastically — reference is made to adhering to the rules of procedure as the legal foundation, while compliance with legal requirements is lacking in many areas of the district administration.

It was precisely the disregard for legal requirements that led to the supervisory complaint filed by Heik Meißner.

This supervisory complaint was reclassified by District Administrator Götz Ulrich as a technical supervision complaint. The difference is that a supervisory complaint primarily concerns the behavior of an administrative employee, which can lead to potential disciplinary measures. A technical supervision complaint, on the other hand, focuses on the professional decisions or the manner in which those decisions were made. Its purpose is to review the professional correctness of a decision and, if necessary, to achieve a correction or reassessment of the procedural approach. Whether this is truly the district administrator’s intention is known only to him.

The supervisory complaint was submitted by Heik Meißner several weeks ago. Although a written response was prepared, it sat unmailed in the district administration for two weeks. Only on the Saturday before the district council meeting was this letter delivered to Meißner. The impression of a delaying tactic is certainly not unfounded.

In the closed session, Patricia Kudwien was removed from her position as head of the Burgenlandkreis Job Center. She was replaced by Robert Aßmann. The reasons have not yet been disclosed to the public.

Robert Aßmann had already “distinguished” himself by reinterpreting or reformulating citizens’ questions in such a way that the resulting answers had nothing to do with the original questions. He is also adept at answering precisely worded questions so vaguely that his response ends up being very noncommittal and does not concretely address the original question.

Possibly, however, this is exactly the qualification that, from the district administrator’s perspective, an employee must have in order to be suitable for, among other things, the position of head of the Job Center.

To what extent the removal of Ms. Patricia Kudwien will be used to deflect the supervisory or technical supervision complaint remains to be seen.
