Honorary member Michael Dose: A look back at a life for the SPD
The SPD Harburg-West's Christmas party took place on December 3, 2025 and was marked by a special honor. Michael Dose, who is an impressive 80 years old, was made an honorary member by the Jusos Eissendorf-Heimfeld. Süderelbe24 reports that the certificate was ceremoniously presented by Fr. James Coobs, chairman of the Jusos, and Nicole Hartmann, assessor.
Dose is a fixture in Harburg's political landscape. Over the years he has been tirelessly committed to the SPD. From 1991 to 2004 he was a member of the Hamburg citizenship and has been a member of the Harburg district assembly since 2008. He is currently active as chairman of the SPD Harburg-Nord and represents the districts of Heimfeld and Bostelbek. During the ceremony, Coobs praised Dose as an “anchor” for many who supports young party members in his mentoring role.
A role model for young people
His previous career as a teacher and school principal was also honored in the eulogies. Dose shapes generations of students, and Nicole Hartmann made clear in her speech the need to have more personalities like Dose in today's world. Those present celebrated the award as a worthy end to the year and showed that Kisten is not only appreciated, but also loved.
But the celebratory spirit and community involvement doesn't stop at this event. A new Juso group was recently founded in Eissendorf and Heimfeld that offers young people a platform for political participation. As the SPD Harburg-West announced, the founding meeting took place on May 16, 2025 in the Landhaus Jägerhof. The Juso team is led by P. James Coobs as chairman and Niklas Jahn as deputy chairman, while Nicole Hartmann supports the group as an assessor.
The concern of the new Juso group
The new Jusos have taken up issues such as educational equality, social cohesion, climate policy and the participation of young people. Their goal is to give young people in Eissendorf and Heimfeld a voice, and they have enjoyed an increasing number of young members since Coobs and Jahn took over member support. Support and warm congratulations also came from Matthias Czech, the district chairman of SPD Harburg-West, and of course from Michael Dose, who uses his many years of experience to encourage young people.
There is also an important election coming up in Germany's political landscape. The Bundestag will be re-elected on February 23rd and the SPD, with Olaf Scholz as the experienced candidate for chancellor, is seeking the trust of the voters. The SPD has set itself the goal of creating a better life for employees and families, coupled with stable pensions. In order to achieve this, investments in the economy and growth should be promoted through a Germany fund. SPD.de emphasizes that security and cohesion are the party's central concerns, while the CDU under Friedrich Merz is criticized as representing a different political direction.
The combination of cross-generational commitment, as embodied by Michael Dose, and the fresh energy of the new Juso group shows how strong the SPD is in the Harburg district. The time is ripe for change and there is something in the air that points to an exciting political end and start to the year.
