Belit Onay, the incumbent Green Party mayor seeking a second term, holds the strongest position in trader consensus ahead of the September 13 first-round vote, reflecting consistent polling leads of around 40 percent compared with roughly 20-21 percent each for SPD challenger and current deputy Axel von der Ohe and CDU candidate Peter Karst. Recent late-August Forsa surveys commissioned by local media reinforced Onay’s advantage on priorities including climate neutrality targets, inner-city redevelopment, expanded public safety measures, and mobility infrastructure. The nine-candidate field makes an outright majority unlikely, directing attention to potential September 27 runoff dynamics between the top two finishers and turnout patterns among key voter groups. Minor candidates, including AfD’s Jessica Schülke and others, register low single-digit or sub-1 percent support in available data, aligning with their minimal implied probabilities.
