Cottbus is moving –
with green ideas for tomorrow

Christian Schömberg

As a dedicated local politician, I am particularly committed to sustainable urban development and the structural transformation of the Lausitz region. My goal is a livable and climate-friendly Cottbus for all generations. My key focus areas include expanding public transportation, creating cycling infrastructure, and promoting renewable energy. As a father, I also deeply care about improving the educational infrastructure.

Cottbus is growing!
But it should grow for everyone!

I stand for a politics that talks with people – not about them. A politics that makes decisions together – not alone. I want us to work together as a community. It is essential to ensure that everyone – regardless of their background – has the same opportunities to grow, learn, and contribute.

A returnee,

Felix Kotzur

I am committed to a vibrant culture as a central factor in structural transformation. My goal is a Cottbus that creates attractive spaces by the water, promotes sustainable circular economy, and provides safe spaces for queer life. In this way, I want to strengthen the sense of home and make our city livable for all generations.
