Severin Fischer: SPD nomination for Potsdam's mayor!

Potsdam, Deutschland - Severin Fischer, the current Secretary of Economics in Berlin, was nominated by the SPD as a candidate for the office of Mayor of Potsdam. This decision was announced on June 28, 2025 and is to be officially confirmed at a party congress on July 5. Fischer, who was born in Erlangen and has lived in Berlin since 2008, has a variety of professional stations. Among other things, he was head of the management staff in the Federal Ministry of Family Affairs and headed the Senate Chancellery when Franziska Giffey was a ruling mayor. Since April 2023 he has been the state secretary in the Senate Department for Economic Affairs, Energy and Companies.

"There is something" for the Potsdam, because the election of the new mayor will take place on September 21, 2025. If no absolute majority is reached in the first ballot, on October 12, 2025 there will be a runoff election. Fischer plans to promote the trust of Potsdamers intensively until the election. He describes himself as a balancing character and sees the challenge of becoming mayor as attractive.

The competition for the Mayor's Office

The political landscape in Potsdam is enlivened by several candidatures. The AfD nominated Chaled-Uwe Said as its OB candidate. In addition, Noosha Aubel, who wants to compete, and Willo Göpel from the CDU have also announced their candidates. All election proposals must be submitted by July 17, 2025. If you don't have a current seat, you have to present a support signatures of 112 people.

fischer is convinced that his experiences and network in the SPD can be advantageous for the choice. Over the years, he has established himself as efficient and well -networked while it can be assigned to the pragmatic wing of the SPD. His commitment goes beyond the political realm: As an enthusiastic football referee, he is committed to a fair cooperation in sport.

The challenges of Potsdam city policy

In the past, the SPD has been the mayor in Potsdam since 1990. This could be a crucial turn in urban politics after Mike Schubert's deselection, who lost in a citizens' decision. Burkhard Exner (SPD) currently runs the official business, while Fischer is now taking the chance to actively help shape the future of Potsdam. With a little son in tow, he will also strive to expand his knowledge of the city.

The upcoming elections are not only an opportunity for fishermen, but also for voters in Potsdam to give up their vote and decide in which direction their city should develop. The political tensions and the contestation of the opinion promise an exciting election campaign that will certainly deal intensively for the citizens.
