New hope for Potsdam: Severin Fischer as an OB candidate!

Potsdam, Deutschland - The Potsdam SPD has discovered a new hope for the upcoming mayor election. Severin Fischer, the 41-year-old State Secretary in the Berlin Senate Department for Economic Affairs, Energy and Companies, was nominated with 89.3% of the votes as the party's official mayor candidate. This decision was made at a general meeting that met with great interest. Fischer received 100 yes votes, 8 no votes and 4 abstentions. The election will take place on September 21, 2025, and Fischer sees great opportunities to leave the failed term of the offense of the elected Mike Schubert.

fischer, native of Franke from Erlangen, has made a name for itself in the Berlin politics world in recent years. After working in the Federal Ministry of Family Affairs from 2018 to 2021 and then serving as head of the Senate Chancellery under the governing Mayor Franziska Giffey, he has been active as State Secretary in the Senate Department since April 2023. In his new role, he would like to put topics such as living and social cohesion at the top of the agenda. "I want to put good ideas into good politics," he emphasizes. Fischer sees his external look as an advantage because he wants to bring a breath of fresh air to Potsdam politics. Schubert's deselection, which was criticized for mismanagement and an affair, makes a new direction necessary.

The way to the election

fisher's nomination is not just a sign of change; It also comes at a time when the Potsdam SPD urgently is looking for an unencumbered candidate. After Mike Schubert's deselection, the question of who is supposed to succeed the party was of great importance for the party. The talks about Fischer's candidacy were confidential before nomination. According to Thomas Bachmann, the SPD head of the championship, a joint candidacy was originally intended with other parties, but the group of voters "The other" excluded a support for Fischer if he would compete for the SPD.

In the upcoming election, Fischer will not stand alone in the hallway. He has to assert himself against other applicants, including the AfD candidate Chaled-Uwe Said, Noosha Aubel as a non-party candidate, Willo Göpel from the CDU and some individual applicants. The outcome of the election will be crucial, not only for the SPD, but also for the political landscape in Potsdam.

political challenges and goals

The challenges that could come to fishermen should not be underestimated. The Potsdam voters have repeatedly expressed their displeasure with politics in recent years, which culminated in Schubert's unsuccessful term. Fischer not only has to secure the internal stability of the SPD, but also regain the trust of voters. In his previous offices, he has been able to gain a variety of experiences that could help him make the right decisions for Potsdam. His attitude of living and social cohesion could be well received by many voters, especially in times of rising living costs and scarce resources.

A successful mayor not only needs the approval of his party, but also broad support from the population. The questions that many ask themselves: does Severin Fischer manage to convince voters? Can he implement his plans and will he be able to control Potsdam in a positive direction? September 21, 2025 will show whether Fischer has what it takes to be mayor.

The next few months until the election will be exciting and decisive, both for Severin Fischer and for the citizens of Potsdam. Now it means: eyes open and the developments are closely followed!
