KfB program 2026-2031
KfB (Kronberg for the Citizens) is a dynamic and active group of residents concerned with the optimal development of Kronberg for its citizens. We are an independent voters’ association with seats and voting rights in the local parliament. Being politically independent and local, KfB concentrates on issues that directly concern and affect the citizens in Kronberg. We are known for our careful and critical examination of official documents and information issued from the local government and councils before we take important and far reaching decisions. This is our hallmark that we intend to maintain in future! In addition to adding a healthy element of critique and questioning to current political issues, KfB is very active in finding and executing ideas that promise to improve and constructively develop Kronberg for its citizens.
