Schubert received 27.9% of the votes, Ursu 30.3%, Wippel 36.4% and Lübeck 5.5%. In the city council election, which took place on the same day, the AfD candidate Wippel received over 17,000 votes, almost six times as many as the cross-party candidate with the second most votes.

In the run-up, Hollywood actors, producers and Oscar winners addressed the voters of the city, which is known as the location for many films , in an open letter with the appeal “Do not vote for the AfD!” According to the preliminary final result, Ursu clearly won the runoff with 55.2 at 44.8%.
