Bavaria's March 2023 elections will decide mayors and council leaders for six years
Bavaria’s local elections are set for March 2023, with voters choosing key leaders across the region. On March 8, residents will decide the mayors of the state’s five largest cities, alongside district administrators, council members, and county representatives. The elected officials will then serve six-year terms in their roles. The upcoming vote will shape leadership in major urban centres, including Munich, Nuremberg, Augsburg, Regensburg, and Ingolstadt. Each city’s Lord Mayor earns a different salary, reflecting its size and budget. Munich’s Dieter Reiter receives €15,809.30 per month, plus extra allowances—the highest among them. Nuremberg’s Marcus König follows with €15,227.10, while Augsburg’s Eva Weber earns €12,968.22.
In Regensburg and Ingolstadt, the monthly pay for Lord Mayors stands at €12,240.77. These figures contrast sharply with smaller municipalities, where mayoral salaries are significantly lower.
The elections will also fill positions in local councils and county offices. Successful candidates will take office for a full six-year period, beginning after the results are confirmed. The March vote will determine who leads Bavaria’s largest cities and districts for the next half-decade. Salaries for the top roles vary widely, with Munich’s mayor earning the most. The outcomes will influence local governance and budget decisions until 2029.
