Who will win the federal election in 2021?
The fight for direct mandates in Munich will be more exciting than ever.
Munich - It is therefore worth taking a look at the division of the four voting districts in Munich before the general election on September 26th. It quickly becomes clear why the race is so open: The constituencies are very heterogeneous. That means: There is not a single electoral district of which one could say that there are only strongholds of the CSU, SPD and Greens. We are facing an election thriller. That applies nationwide, but here in Munich, too, it will be a nervous evening for city bosses Claudia Tausend (SPD), Ursula Harper (Greens, co-boss Joel Keilhauer) and Georg Eisenreich (CSU).
Most of the eligible voters are in Neuhausen-Nymphenburg (62,515) and Ramersdorf-Perlach (61,886).
Thalkirchen-Obersendling-Forstenried-Fürstenried-Solln (59,057) follows in third place.
Bogenhausen (56,877) is also one of the major city districts in terms of the number of voters.
The smallest unit is Altstadt-Lehel (13,517), even on the Schwanthalerhöhe there are only 16,405 voters.
Munich North constituency
• North (Maxvorstadt, Schwabing-West, Schwabing-Freimann, Milbertshofen-Am Hart, Moosach, Feldmoching-Hasenbergl): Here strong results can be expected for the Greens in Schwabing and Maxvorstadt.
Moosach and Milbertshofen were former strongholds of the SPD.
The north is a difficult place for the CSU, although it won relatively clearly here in 2017.
But the starting position in this district has shifted in favor of the SPD and the Greens this year.
Munich East constituency
• East (Altstadt-Lehel, Au-Haidhausen, Bogenhausen, Berg am Laim, Ramersdorf-Perlach, Trudering-Riem): The SPD will have a difficult time here because the CSU has its strongholds in Bogenhausen and Trudering and Au-Haidhausen, of course is dominated by the Greens.
The Altstadt-Lehel district plays a subordinate role due to its small population.
The densely populated Ramersdorf-Perlach district is to be assessed as balanced, as is Berg am Laim.
Munich South constituency
• South (Sendling, Sendling-Westpark, Untergiesing-Harlaching, Obergiesing-Fasangarten, Hadern, Thalkirchen-Obersendling-Fürstenried-Forstenried-Solln): As in the north, an extremely exciting race for the direct mandate is emerging between the three major parties.
In Sendling, the Greens were able to post strong results recently, the SPD is not bad there either, while the CSU has to give up.
Rags, on the other hand, are ancestral territory of the "blacks".
In Untergiesing-Harlaching and Obergiesing-Fasangarten, however, the pendulum should swing in the direction of the Greens and the SPD.
Constituency of Munich West / Center
• West / Middle (Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt, Schwanthalerhöhe, Neuhausen-Nymphenburg, Laim, Pasing-Obermenzing, Allach-Untermenzing, Aubing-Lochhausen-Langwied): With Allach, Aubing and Pasing there are three districts dominated by the CSU in the west of the city .
Nevertheless, all previous forecasts see the Greens clearly ahead - which is not so surprising.
Because in the Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt the Greens recently achieved record results, almost like in Berlin-Kreuzberg.
And also in Neuhausen-Nymphenburg and on the Schwanthalerhöhe, the eco-party can be rated very strongly.
The SPD will have a rather difficult time in West / Middle.
Bundestag election in Munich
There are currently almost 922,000 eligible voters in Munich.
The women are clearly in the majority with 480,000.
Around 440,000 voters are male.
The city has now sent the election notifications.
If you haven't received any documents by September 1st, you should contact the election office (briefwahl.kvr@muenchen.de).
A high proportion of postal voters is expected.
In the 2017 federal election, the rate was 43.4 percent.
There are 65 direct candidates running in the four Munich electoral districts: 18 in the north electoral district, 17 each in the east and west / center, and 13 in the south.
With the second vote, 26 parties can be elected.
