Neubiberg Mayor Takes Leave After Cocaine Admission as CSU Keeps Him as Candidate

Local SPD now calls for his resignation after his public statement.

Overview

  • Deputy mayor Kilian Körner of the Greens is fully handling municipal duties for roughly four weeks while Thomas Pardeller undergoes short-term therapeutic treatment.
  • Police say about 0.2 grams of a white powder were found outside a Munich nightclub, and a laboratory analysis to confirm cocaine is still pending.
  • Officers report he initially refused to hand over the packet, was brought to the ground, handcuffed and taken to a station, and unit K11 is investigating a narcotics offense.
  • The CSU Ortsverband declares full support, maintains Pardeller’s mayoral nomination for the March 8, 2026 election, and characterizes the incident as a personal mistake.
  • Pardeller apologizes, attributes his conduct to recent family bereavement and late-night partying, and says he plans to return to office after treatment.
