Karoline Koreng: The chance to be the youngest mayor in MV!

A fresh wind is blowing through the small community of Neverin in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, because Karoline Koreng, a young woman, has stood as a candidate for mayor. The mayoral election, which will take place on October 26, 2025, could provide a real opportunity for Koreng to make history. If she is successful, she could become the youngest mayor in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. However, the explanation for the new election is just as exciting: The current mayor, Nico Klose, will resign on November 12, 2025 in order to avoid a dual role after his election as mayor of Neubrandenburg. Klose will be sworn in in Neubrandenburg on July 17th, so the course will be set fresh in Neverin.

Karoline Koreng, a native of Neverin, is not just a local number. She has made a name for herself in the past as a member of the cultural committee of the Neverin municipal council and has previously participated in municipal politics as an informed citizen. She currently works as a health and nursing nurse in Neubrandenburg and brings a perspective from the healthcare sector into the political arena. As the first official candidate for mayor, she has already sparked anticipation for the upcoming duel.

A look into the history of mayoral elections

Let's take a look at the history of mayors in Neverin: This election will mark the search for the 14th head of the municipality since 1945. What is particularly noteworthy is that only one woman has held the office so far: Hannelore Scharff was mayor from 1975 to 1990. This means that the 2025 election could not only be groundbreaking for Koreng, but also for equality in local politics.

In addition to the exciting developments in Neverin, we can also take a look at the recent mayoral runoff elections in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Coming challenges are in the air, as the first results of the runoff elections were announced on June 24, 2024. Among other things, there was an election in Dargun in which Jana Böttcher (independent) won with 65.4% against the previous mayor Sirko Wellnitz. Elections like this show how much the political landscape in the region can change and how in demand new faces are.

Conclusion and outlook

The mayoral election in Neverin will be an interesting challenge not only for Karoline Koreng, but also for the citizens of the municipality, who will have the opportunity to cast their vote for progress and change in this election. In an environment open to political renewal, Koreng’s candidacy could be the start of a new era for Neverin. We can't wait to see how the first votes develop in the coming months. Those interested can find further information about the election and the candidates on the official Neverin website.
