In a surprising turn of local politics, Johannes Gumprecht was elected as the new mayor of Hainburg on Tuesday evening. The 24-year-old is the youngest mayor all over Austria and thus gains nationwide attention. The election took place in the Bruck district on the Leitha and represents a remarkable change in the political landscape of the city.

With 24 out of a total of 27 votes, Gumprecht was elected by the members of the local council, as the ÖVP Hainburg announced via Facebook. He is not a newcomer to politics; He has been in the municipal council since 2020 and has since emerged as a city council for important areas such as education, culture, tourism as well as environment and sustainability. The return of Helmut Schmid, who resigned in office after almost nine years, brings a breath of fresh air to the leadership of the community.

Young politics for the future

The fame of Gumprecht is also highlighted by prominent party colleagues. Claudia Plakolm, the Federal Chair of the Junge ÖVP (JVP), underlined the importance of young people in politics, especially at the community level. "We need young people in politics at all levels," she emphasized, with which she reaffirmed the urge for fresh ideas and perspectives in the political landscape.

Sebastian Stark, the state chairman of the JVP in Lower Austria, described Gumprecht as a "real tacker" and "great role model". His rise in the political hierarchy shows that the commitment and ideas of youth can be valued and can lead to significant changes. There will be a lot of speculation about the challenges in front of which he will stand as the new mayor.

Gumprecht's election as mayor is a strong signal for the future of the municipality of Hainburg. His tasks will not only be to continue the existing programs, but also to pursue innovative approaches and to prepare the community for future challenges. His youth should help him bring new perspectives to local politics and to involve younger citizens more.

The development of the past few days in Hainburg is being followed by many, especially with regard to the upcoming municipal elections in January 2025. The new mayor will play a key role in how the political arena will develop in the coming years. His choice marks the beginning of a new era that he can design with fresh vigor.
