The last few decades of local history were characterized by development that saw the population figure rise from roughly 1,000 to more than 3,700. For this, great efforts were required of the mayors Hans Steib (1960–1979), Richard Becker (1979–2003) and Dr. Werner Dahmen (2003-    ) and the councillors and administrations at their side. Praiseworthy, too, were the understanding on the citizenry's part and the readiness on the designated authorities’ part to support the municipality in many projects.
