It is with deep sorrow that we share the news of the passing of Ulrich (Uli) Silberbach, former Federal Chairman of the dbb Beamtenbund und Tarifunion and Vice-President of CESI, who died on June 25, 2025, at the age of 63.
Uli Silberbach was a committed trade union leader and a passionate advocate for public employees. Known for his approachable nature and strong convictions, he earned the respect and trust of colleagues and partners alike throughout his many years of service.
Born in Cologne on August 27, 1961, he began his professional life in local administration before turning fully to union work. His path led him from leadership roles in komba nrw to key positions in the dbb, where he served as Federal Chairman from 2017. He led with clarity, purpose, and a deep sense of responsibility until the final months of his life.
Uli stood firmly for a well-functioning public sector and for the values of democracy and social balance. His work was driven by a belief in fairness and cooperation—principles he embodied throughout his career.
He leaves behind a legacy of dedication, courage, and service that will not be forgotten.
