Mayor election in Großbeeren: Candidates promise harmony despite arguments!

Großbeeren, Deutschland - in Großberren, a tranquil location in the Teltow-Fläming district, the mayoral election is just around the corner. Today, on June 18, 2025, there was a lively discussion between the five candidates in the MAZ forum. Organized by the Maz with Nadine Pensold and Oliver Fischer as moderators, around 130 guests were able to take part in the exciting exchange. The focus was primarily on a harmonious coexistence, a contrast to the turbulent last seven years that were characterized by conflicts, especially between the former mayor Tobias Borstel and the community representatives, such as maz-online.de

Tobias Borstel, who had recently been a non -party mayor, ended his term in tragic. Last Friday, he made the decision to do without the vote after a citizens' decision to vote. "The end of my term in office was not easy, but the only right decision for my family and me," said Borstel. Borstel has initially had great support in the community since his 2018 election, but finally lost the trust of his SPD faction and founded the "Our Great Berries-Your Voice" faction (UGDS) before the initiation of a description procedure occurred, like rbb24.de reported.

The candidates in detail

In the MAZ forum, the concentrated variety of candidates presented itself. But despite the different parties, the viewpoints were often similar, especially when it came to the coexistence in the community. Klaus Meyer von der Ugds emphasized his experience in bringing people together and dared to defend his age: "I feel young", as he explicitly emphasized. Bettina Stobbe from the Greens relies on their "female skill" and wants to build bridges between the various factions.

Peter Silke from the AfD, with 30 years of experience as an entrepreneur, did not apologize for his party affiliation and rejected the term "AfD-Bashing". He argues that this belonging is irrelevant for the task of a mayor. Martin Wonneberger from the CDU, on the other hand, emphasized the importance of factual disputes and the need to avoid personal attacks. The desire to work together across factions set a positive sign in the sometimes tense political situation, he emphasized.

wishes and demands of the candidates

The visitors to the forum were delighted with the concrete suggestions that the candidates presented. Christian Schäfer suggested the construction of a new hockey square, which was general, while Stobbe insisted on the priority of the playgrounds. At the same time, Wonneberger warned of the decay of the club landscape without a multifunctional place. It seems that the candidates have made up for a lot.

The desire for a harmonious and fair election campaign hovers over the community. Daniel Krause, the chairman of the municipal council, clearly expresses this wish. With an expected election day on July 6th, followed by a possible runoff election on July 20, the political waves in great berries are more high.
