Continuing in Pforzheim, Peter Boch maintains his role as mayor
In a peaceful and orderly election, Peter Boch, a member of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), has been re-elected as the Mayor of Pforzheim. The election took place in August 2025, and Boch secured an impressive 88.4% of the votes, according to the available information.
Boch, who has been serving as the Lord Mayor of Pforzheim since 2017, previously held the position of Mayor of Epfendorf in the district of Rottweil before moving to Pforzheim. The details of his re-election process, however, are not explicitly detailed in the available search results.
In this election, Dimitrij Walter from the FDP was Boch's only opponent. Walter received 10.3% of the votes, a significant drop from his 2017 bid for the top position, where he had no chance against Boch. Interestingly, none of the other parties and groups in the divided Pforzheim city council fielded their own candidate in the mayoral election.
A total of around 88,000 Pforzheim residents were called to vote, with a turnout of 23.5%. It's worth noting that eight years ago, Boch won his re-election as mayor of Pforzheim.
