Christin Witt wins mayoral election in Loitz with a strong 69.9%!
A clear trend emerged in the mayoral election in Loitz on July 7, 2025: incumbent Christin Witt from the CDU secured victory with 69.9 percent of the vote, thereby confirming her office for another seven years. Her competition, the non-party Tilo Janzen, got 30.1 percent, but received 480 votes and concluded the election evening with a warm congratulation - despite being personally absent on election day.
The election took place in a context that presented challenges and surprises. Of the 3,639 residents of Loitz who were eligible to vote, turnout was 44.6 percent. These figures reflect the nationwide trend that voter turnout in East Germany is generally declining ( Statista ).
Tight decisions and international guests
Things got particularly exciting in the town of Sophienhof: There the votes were close together, with 54.2 percent for Witt and 45.8 percent for Janzen. This shows that even on a smaller scale there is lively voter turnout and political disagreement.
A highlight of the election evening was the visit from the twin town of Hiddenhausen. Council member Erwin Steffen, who traveled from afar, added extra festivity and supported the local community during the vote. Having traveled 500 kilometers, his appearance was a welcome surprise for those in attendance and added a special touch to the event ( Northern Courier ).
The outlook for the coming years
For Christin Witt, the election result not only means a continuation of her term in office, but also a new opportunity to continue the initiatives started by her predecessor Michael Sack. Sack was elected district administrator of Vorpommern-Greifswald against the backdrop of a dynamic political landscape that has shown a lot of movement in recent years ( NDR ).
Overall, the mayoral election in Loitz not only shows the continued support for Christin Witt, but also the importance of local elections in the region. The voter turnout of 44.6 percent may seem low at first glance, but it must be viewed in the context of regional trends. Citizens’ voices are essential, and it remains to be seen how the political landscape will evolve in the future.
