Reality Star Jannik Kontalis Finishes Last in Mönchengladbach Mayoral Vote

The result propels Felix Heinrichs and Christof Wellens to a Sept. 28 runoff.

Overview

  • Kontalis received approximately 0.89% of the vote, placing ninth and last in the first round, according to official results.
  • Incumbent Felix Heinrichs (SPD) led with 43.37% and Dr. Christof Wellens (CDU) followed with 28.84%, sending both to the runoff.
  • In an RTL interview, Kontalis said he was disappointed but composed, calling the campaign an honor and vowing to remain politically engaged.

  • He confirmed the end of his flirtation with Bill Kaulitz and said he is currently dating influencer Yonca Hagen.
