Maria Lanzendorf: Green Mayor from 2027 - what does that mean?

Maria Lanzendorf, Österreich - Maria Lanzendorf will be headed by a green mayor from October 2027.

This makes Lampert the second green mayor in Lower Austria, after Rainer Praschak, who also rules in cooperation with the SPÖ in Mödling. This decision follows an agreement that was made in the course of the municipal council elections.

The elections took place on January 26, 2025 in 568 municipalities in Lower Austria. oe24.at reports of an election result that allowed the first list in Maria Lanzendorf to increase their mandates in the municipal council from four to six. The green list was committed to the management of the committees "Environment, Transport and Village Development" as well as "Finance, fire brigade and disaster protection", which are now conducted by green mandatars.

Christoph Lampert will come into office as part of this half-time solution by Michael Lippl.
