Katja Dörner has been active for the Green Party since 1992, becoming a party member in 1998. Meike KENN c/o JULIA WALDMANN photographed the election campaign with the incumbent Mayor of Bonn, Katja Dörner, for Bündnis 90/Die Grünen for the upcoming local elections in Bonn.
"The countdown has begun: In exactly 100 days, the people of Bonn will decide who will lead our city into the future. And although this isn't my first election campaign, it feels special again. Perhaps because I sense how much we've achieved together. Perhaps because I know how much still lies ahead.
I'm eager to continue. With clarity, with courage, and with a great deal of enthusiasm for Bonn. For a city that becomes climate-neutral and sticks together. For a city that listens, decides, and implements. For a strong, livable city for everyone – so that Bonn wins." Katja Dörner, Mayor of Bonn.
Local elections have been held every five years since 2020. Interior Minister Herbert Reul has set the date for the 2025 local elections in North Rhine-Westphalia as September 14, 2025.
All Germans and citizens of the other 26 EU member states who have reached the age of 16 on election day, who have lived or otherwise habitually resided in the electoral district of the federal city of Bonn for at least the 16th day before the election, and who are not excluded from the right to vote are eligible to vote in local elections.
In Bonn, this applies to around 248,000 people – of whom around 1,490 are first-time voters.
