What Potsdam's Mayor Wishes for Christmas
Potsdam’s mayor, Noosha Aubel, has set her sights on two key goals this Christmas. Alongside her push for a toll-free city centre to support local shops, she is also searching for a new home for her family. The issue of housing sits high on her political agenda.
Aubel took office in October 2025 after previously living in Flensburg. Since moving to Potsdam, she has struggled to find a suitable apartment for her family. This personal challenge has reinforced her commitment to improving housing affordability in the city.
Her Christmas wish extends beyond her own needs. She has proposed making Potsdam’s city centre toll-free on 20 December 2025. The aim is to boost trade and make the area more appealing to visitors.
Affordable rents remain a central focus of her work. By addressing both housing shortages and economic vitality, Aubel hopes to create a more liveable city for residents and businesses alike.
Aubel’s plans for a toll-free city centre and better housing options reflect her priorities as mayor. If implemented, these measures could ease financial pressures on locals and strengthen Potsdam’s economy. Her own search for a home highlights the urgency of the housing issue she aims to tackle.
