Dittrich re-elected as President of the German Crafts Association - Jörg Dittrich Re-Elected to Lead Germany’s Craft Sector for Three More Years
Dittrich’s role includes advocating for better conditions in the craft industry. Key priorities for his term are reducing bureaucracy, securing fair financing, and pushing for tax relief. He has also called for stable energy prices to support small and medium-sized businesses.
In addition to his ZDH position, he serves as president of the Dresden Chamber of Crafts. His family business, established in 1905, remains active in Dresden. This hands-on experience shapes his approach to policy and representation.
Looking ahead, Dittrich plans to strengthen vocational training and accelerate digitalisation in craft businesses. He has criticised Federal Labour Minister Barbara Bas, arguing that her policies unfairly portray employers as opponents rather than partners. His focus remains on creating fairer framework conditions for the sector.
Dittrich’s re-election ensures continuity in leadership qualities for Germany’s craft businesses. His agenda includes practical reforms to ease financial pressures and modernise the industry. The next three years will test how effectively these measures address the needs of over a million small business ideas.
