**Thorsten Kornblum, the incumbent SPD mayor since 2021, holds the clear lead in trader pricing ahead of the September 13, 2026, first-round vote, with a runoff possible on September 27 if no candidate secures an absolute majority.** His strong party nomination (over 98% delegate support), record of local investments in housing, schools, and infrastructure, and visibility on issues such as public safety and urban development underpin the high implied probability. The other listed candidates—including CDU’s Maximilian Pohler, Greens’ Michael Walther, and smaller-party or independent contenders—show minimal movement in the market, consistent with the absence of major recent polling shifts or high-profile challenges that would alter the competitive landscape before election day.
