Noosha Aubel: fresh wind for Potsdam in the mayor election!

The political waves in Potsdam hit up! With a surprising announcement, Noosha Aubel, the previous deputy for education, culture, youth and sport, moves into the race for the mayor's office. On September 21, 2025, the voters: Inside in Potsdam, their vote can be made, and Aubel, independent, has clearly outlined their vision: an ecologically responsible city, in which education and affordable living space are the focus for everyone. Many like to remember their term in Potsdam from 2017 to 2023, where she has effectively promoted numerous projects, such as the construction of daycare centers and schools. But why the sudden comeback?

Your resignation came anything but gently and surprised even the most expectant. As of February 28, 2023, she announced her office - a decision that affected not only herself, but also the Potsdam citizens. In the past few months, however, she has increasingly struggled with the inner structures of the city administration. Aubel made it clear that she had fought for changes in Potsdam, but often failed to implement.

The way to the election

In the context of your candidacy, there are still many open questions. The SPD will bring its favorite, State Secretary Severin Fischer, into play, while the AfD has already nominated Chaled-Uwe Said. The race seems to be exciting, and the green discussions about a possible non -partisan candidacy have initiated. The fixed date for the submission of the candidacy is July 17th. It is also interesting that candidate: inside who do not have a current seat in the city council, in the state parliament or the Bundestag, need 112 supporter signatures to compete.

The challenges that the new mayor will bring with them are enormous. The host country remembers the turbulent time under the former mayor Mike Schubert, who was voted out due to a lack of leadership skills. In the case of a citizens' decision, an impressive 68.3 % of the voters voted for his deselection - a clear signal that the Potsdamer: inside the Potsdamer longs for change. Schubert himself admitted his defeat and spoke of an expression of democratic will formation. The ongoing allegations against him, even those who deal with a public prosecutor because of the acceptance of benefits, have had a lasting cloudal tour of the city tour. Burkhard Exner from the SPD leads the official business to the new election.

It will be interesting to see how this political competition is developing and who will take over the helm! rbbb24 stays on!
