  2. ^ Predecessor Horst Brückner, who was also mayor of the neighboring community of Waldhufen , was the only candidate in 2008. This double position was no longer possible in 2015, but there were no candidates in the first two ballots, so that the voters mostly wrote his name on the empty ballot paper. In the third ballot in February 2016 there were then two candidates, cf. Vierkirchen has a mayor. In: Saxon newspaper . February 15, 2016, accessed April 13, 2020 .
