Overview
- Stalzer’s term officially started Saturday, with her formal swearing-in set for November 4 as she assumes leadership of roughly 380 city employees.
- In her first extended interview, she described a media frenzy and said she deliberately avoided news consumption during her hospital stay.
- She called early public statements premature, including a post by Chancellor Friedrich Merz on X shortly after the attack.
- Investigators identify her 17-year-old adoptive daughter as the main suspect; a warrant for dangerous bodily harm was issued and the probe continues.
- Stalzer denies reports of a conflict with youth services, notes strong backing from her party, and says her health allows her to carry out the mandate.
