In the course of the mayoral election in Celle in 2016, Jörg Nigge was accused of having written off large parts of his election manifesto by the Cologne mayor Henriette Reker . In some cases, entire text passages were taken over word for word. The correspondence was first established by the Celle city magazine "Revista".

He was "not too bad to let other good approaches flow into his own concepts as useful additions".
