In his speech after the election, Groll promised to continue working for the city of Neustadt around the clock. He pointed out the upcoming challenges and reminded of the late district administrator Kirsten Fründt, whose contribution to urban development was important to him. Groll's counterpart, including Dr. Jens Ried from the CDU, described his result as appropriate. Hans-Dieter Georgi (CDU) and Sebastian Sack (SPD) congratulated Groll and emphasized the need for cross-party cooperation.

challenger Ulmer expressed satisfaction with his result and signaled that he wanted to continue to engage politically. Groll's success in the election could be seen as an indicator of the support of the population for current politics in Neustadt, while the small weight weight of Ulmer indicates the challenges that opposition candidates are facing.

like hessenschau.de reported in the election campaign by the SPD, which illustrates the political framework for its re-election. His mandate is in the context of an increasingly diversified political landscape in Neustadt, which is also reflected in the voices for Ulm, who, despite his views, wants to fight for a place in political discourse.

A clearly confirmed mayor paired with a clear political climate could set the course for the coming years in Neustadt, while Groll is now required to meet the expectations of his electorate and to actively address the future challenges. Further information on the election results is on op-marburg.de
