Nauen mayoral election: Runoff election between Wiebersinsky and Meger!
In Nauen, around 16,000 citizens were called to vote for mayor on Sunday, but the result shows that no candidate managed to achieve an absolute majority. Instead, there will be a runoff election on September 28, 2025 between Michael Wiebersinsky from the electoral associationWe for Nauenand the incumbent mayor Manuel Meger (Die Rändliche). This will have a decisive influence on the political future of the third largest city in Havelland, which has around 20,000 inhabitants maz-online.de reported.
The last elections in Nauen were anything but unremarkable. In the 2024 state elections, the AfD was the strongest party with 33.2% of the second votes, closely followed by the SPD with 33.1%. This shows that the political landscape in this region is dynamic and brings tensions and changes from year to year. Voter turnout was a respectable 65.8%, which represents a small increase compared to 2019, when only 52.2% of voters cast their ballot. A detailed list of the election results is provided tagesspiegel.de.
Political developments in focus
Another issue that concerns Nauen is the early termination of city fire chief Daniel Brose, who is now facing legal action after his suspension in July. Although the reasons for his termination have not been made public, this case raises questions about the city's human resources management.
In addition, commuter traffic at Wustermark train station is a hot topic. After the school holidays, many commuters complain about an acute shortage of parking spaces. However, from September 17th, a car park will be expanded with 60 additional spaces, which will hopefully improve the situation. However, commuters' concerns are only one aspect of the growing challenges in the region.
Social issues come up
Another concern of the city leadership is the lack of staff in the general social service. Social Affairs Director Wolfgang Gall (CDU/CSU) is confronted with demands from the left, who are demanding an apology for an unfortunate statement he made. To address the concerns, Gall has announced an internal investigation into child endangerment statistics to address the increasing challenges in the social sector.
At the same time, there is good news from the professional area: six automotive mechatronics trainees have received their journeyman's certificates, and three of them even completed their apprenticeship six months earlier. This is a positive signal for the training landscape in Nauen and shows that talented young people are growing up here.
Overall, Nauen is facing a time of change and challenges. The coming weeks will be crucial in determining which direction political and social developments will take. Citizens are called upon to actively participate in these processes and to use their voice, as Statistics portal which emphasizes the importance of election statistics and the voting behavior of the population.
