Nico Heitz: Green mayoral candidate wants to make Freising fit for the future!

An exciting election campaign for the 2026 mayoral election is emerging in Freising. Freising native Nico Heitz has presented himself as a Green Party candidate and would like to succeed Tobias Eschenbacher, who is no longer running. Heitz's official nomination will take place on Thursday, July 24th. It is expected that he will enter the election with a breath of fresh air and new ideas in order to actively help shape the city.

Heitz, who has been a member of the city council since 2020, has held notable positions in the city in recent years. He initially worked as a youth officer before being appointed cultural officer a year ago. He took up this post after his predecessor Susanne Günther resigned due to a critical Facebook post. In his positions, Heitz not only has cultural but also economic aspects in mind: his experiences in the Tagwerk organic market have given him valuable insights into the local economy.

Diverse priorities for the future

The young politician, who works as a vocational school teacher in Freising, relies on close cooperation with other political groups. He is convinced that by working together, pragmatic solutions to the city's challenges can be found. Heitz wants to place a clear focus on urban development, education, ecology and nutrition. His vision for Freising is to make the city more livable and to respond to the needs of its citizens.

The Freising Greens perceive Heitz as part of a “young new list”. When the city council list was drawn up for the 2020 local elections, he came in fourth place and wanted to represent the concerns of young people in the city council. With the other Green candidates, Heitz plans to not only represent the entire spectrum of citizens, but also to focus on the environment so that the Greens can be more visible in city politics. The desire to become the strongest faction in the city council is palpable.

His career shows that Heitz has a feel for the needs of the Freising population. As chairman of the music school advisory board and member of the city museum's board of trustees, he has already been actively involved in the city's cultural life. In the coming election, he will also steer a clear course that brings together the most important issues in his city.

Heitz's nomination as mayoral candidate could bring about a decisive change in Freising's political events. Leading green ideas in urban politics could offer citizens a breath of fresh air and new perspectives.

For Heitz, it is crucial to win the voices of the young generation and those who are committed to climate-friendly solutions. With his commitment and clear priorities, he could present an attractive offer for all voters. The coming months will show whether he succeeds and Freising takes a new course.
