Prepared for the 2026 municipal elections, The Fürther Green party gears up
In a significant move for the city of Fürth, the local branch of the Greens (Bündnis 90/Die Grünen) has unveiled its city council list for the upcoming 2026 municipal election. The list, which was announced on July 26, 2025, is filled with a diverse group of candidates, each bringing unique skills and experiences to the table.
Leading the list is Katrin Grünbaum, the current treasurer of the district association, who was elected with an impressive 90 percent of the vote. Grünbaum will be followed by Johannes Newald, the current speaker of the district board, who secured position 8 on the list.
The list also includes Kamran Salimi, who was elected as the mayoral candidate and currently serves as the faction leader of the city council fraction. Salimi, an experienced personnel councilor at a clinic, has been actively campaigning, participating in over 160 events in just three months.
Other notable newcomers on the list include education researcher Dr. Kristin Hecker, Diplom-Sozialpädagoge Florian Friedrich with years of experience in children, youth, and social work, and mechanical engineering technician Finn Lenski, representing the Green Youth. Lenski aims to provide opportunities for young people similar to those in neighboring cities.
The list is filled in accordance with the GREEN Women's Statute, ensuring gender parity. This includes Annette von Heissen, the speaker of the district board, who is at position 13 on the city council list.
Additionally, the list includes lawyer Johanna Barber, a committed advocate for green mobility transition, and Sebastian Fischer, a geographer working in an engineering office, who ran due to dissatisfaction with the prioritization of social media over urban policy.
