Halle's Mayor Vogt Marries Longtime Partner - Halle's Lord Mayor Alexander Vogt weds partner in private castle ceremony

Halle's Lord Mayor Alexander Vogt has married his longtime partner, David Horn, in a private ceremony. The wedding took place just months after Vogt was elected Oberbürgermeister in February 2025. Friends and colleagues gathered to celebrate the occasion at a historic location in the city.

The ceremony was held at the registry office of Moritzburg Castle, a well-known landmark in Halle. Only close friends and family attended, keeping the event intimate. Among the guests was Claudia Dalbert, the former Environment Minister of Saxony-Anhalt and a member of the Green Party, who served as a witness.

Vogt became Lord Mayor earlier this year after winning the election in February. Details about his prior experience in municipal leadership remain unclear, as records do not specify how long he held similar roles before taking office in Halle.

The wedding marks a personal milestone for Vogt, who now balances his new role as the city's leader with his private life. The ceremony at Moritzburg Castle highlights the couple's connection to Halle, where Vogt continues to serve as Oberbürgermeister.
