Jochen Vogel

Jochen Vogel, a member of the Christian Social Union (CSU), served as the mayor of Bad Brückenau for two decades, a role he cherished as his 'dream job.' However, his life took a significant turn when he contracted COVID-19, leading to a diagnosis of Long Covid, which ultimately forced him into retirement at the age of 52. In a recent interview, he reflected on his experiences, discussing the challenges of adjusting to life post-COVID, the importance of meditation, and the emotional toll of transitioning from an active public servant to retirement.
