Rick Grothe: Mayoral candidate with the courage to change in Oranienburg!

Things are boiling in Oranienburg! The mayoral election is coming up on September 28, 2025 and Rick Grothe is - let's say - not quite a conventional candidate. Grothe, who introduces himself to voters as a representative of “The Party”, aims to get at least 2,500 votes, which he already received in the last federal election six months ago. What makes the election particularly exciting is that Grothe did not seal his application voluntarily, but through a roll of the dice within his party, in which he emerged as the loser. A rather amusing anecdote for an election campaign that will certainly have many surprises in store.

The 49-year-old has lived in Oranienburg since 1999, has a lot of experience as a physiotherapist and is known for his voluntary work on the board of the Eden cooperative. Grothe has a family with a wife and two children and lives in Eden, where he supports the community. His interest in politics began about ten years ago when he discovered “The Party” — a place he describes as his political home.

Challenges and visions

But Grothe also has critical tones: He expresses concerns about housing construction in Oranienburg and rising rents. “Too much is being built,” he says, expressing his opinion that an examination of the status quo is urgently needed. Despite these challenges, Grothe sees the city's overall development as positive. Changes are considered important that the current mayor has not addressed for years.

The state association's support for Grothe's election campaign should also not be neglected. Financial help is guaranteed, so nothing should stand in the way of the election campaign - which will be enriched with fresh ideas and perhaps a little satire. But Grothe remains modest and, if he wins, plans to take a break to enjoy time with his family. A very popular resolution among family fathers!

A look outside the box

While we're on the subject of the change demanded by Grothe, we shouldn't miss a look at current sporting events. For example, the New York Yankees recently celebrated a thrilling win in the AL Division Series against the Kansas City Royals. Giancarlo Stanton delivered a decisive home run in the eighth inning and contributed significantly to the final score of 3-2. This game was special because it was the first playoff game at Kauffman Stadium in over nine years. Further proof that a lot is happening in the world while the political scene in Oranienburg is being turned upside down.

When it comes to change, Rick Grothe has his finger on the pulse and will certainly appeal to voters with his unconventional style and clear statements. Therefore, all interested citizens should take advantage of the opportunity to find out about the various election programs and to cast their vote.
