Overview
- In Wildpoldsried, the council voted to revert the mayor’s office to an honorary role, a move incumbent Renate Schön condemned as an undemocratic, discriminatory maneuver that effectively forces her out of the full-time post.
- The Wildpoldsried shift was driven by a Freie Wähler push to clear the way for their preferred candidate, who could keep a pension only under an honorary arrangement, according to the reporting and Schön’s account.
- UWG Habach-Dürnhausen finalized a 12-person council list but named no mayoral candidate after the council opted to keep the position honorary, with one interested contender saying she would have run only in a full-time role.
- Zolling’s UBZ launched an 18-person slate and confirmed incumbent Helmut Priller as its mayoral pick, set a target of at least six council seats, and reported no rival mayoral candidates currently in sight.
- Elsewhere, parties stressed either continuity or renewal: CSU Mittelstetten returned familiar names and prioritized projects like new fire stations and a ‘Handwerkerhof,’ Freie Wähler Murnau unveiled a younger, more female list without a mayoral challenger, and Freie Wähler Mittenwald declined to field a mayoral candidate, pointing to an SPD–CSU race.
