The budget shows a deficit of around 800,000 euros. However, this planned deficit can be offset by an existing ordinary revenue reserve of over 9 million euros from previous years.  <\/p>\n\n<p>During the budget consultation, several applications were discussed and also confirmed, which mainly revolved around funding from the Leader program for the years 2027 and beyond.<\/p>\n\n<p>All changes will now be incorporated into the final budget. This will then be submitted to the municipal supervisory authority for review. The municipal supervisory authority must issue a statement within four weeks. Once the city&#8217;s budget has been confirmed there, it can finally be approved.   <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/stadtwolmirstedt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Der-Fachdienstleiter-Finanzen-der-Stadt-Wolmirstedt-Marko-Kohlrausch-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"The Head of Finance of the City of Wolmirstedt, Marko Kohlrausch\" class=\"wp-image-29429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stadtwolmirstedt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Der-Fachdienstleiter-Finanzen-der-Stadt-Wolmirstedt-Marko-Kohlrausch-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stadtwolmirstedt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Der-Fachdienstleiter-Finanzen-der-Stadt-Wolmirstedt-Marko-Kohlrausch-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stadtwolmirstedt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Der-Fachdienstleiter-Finanzen-der-Stadt-Wolmirstedt-Marko-Kohlrausch-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stadtwolmirstedt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Der-Fachdienstleiter-Finanzen-der-Stadt-Wolmirstedt-Marko-Kohlrausch-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/stadtwolmirstedt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Der-Fachdienstleiter-Finanzen-der-Stadt-Wolmirstedt-Marko-Kohlrausch-930x620.jpg 930w, https:\/\/stadtwolmirstedt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Der-Fachdienstleiter-Finanzen-der-Stadt-Wolmirstedt-Marko-Kohlrausch.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Marko Kohlrausch, Head of Finance at the City of Wolmirstedt.
