Wiener FPÖ nominates new city councilors: Nittmann and Berger set accents!

Innere Stadt, Wien, Österreich - The Viennese FPÖ caused a breath of fresh air in the city councilual exam after the Vienna election in 2025. Dominik Nepp remains party leader, while Ulrike Nittmann and Stefan Berger have now been nominated as non-official city councilors. This personnel decision is part of a greater change within the FPÖ, which after an election defeat in 2020 was able to get around 20 percent again, which causes a sensation. According to meinzirk.at , the future Vienna city council will consist of a total of 13 members.

Ulrike Nittmann, born in Villach in 1956, can look back on a comprehensive political career. It was already a member of the state parliament and local council from 2015 to 2019 and from 2023. From March 2019 to November 2020 she was also a non-official city councilor. Nittmann comes from the financial sector, which makes her the financial expert at FPÖ Vienna and brings her experience as a lawyer. Stefan Berger, who is still young in political business at the age of 38, can look back on ten years in the state parliament and the local council. Previously, he was the district council in the 10th district for five years and is currently Vice President of the Freedom Akademie Vienna.

news from the FPÖ

The FPÖ has also strengthened, so Maximilian Krauss remains as a club chairman in the town hall. Toni Mahdalik and Wolfgang Seidl are also part of the new city council; Mahdalik, 58 years old, has had experience in the state parliament and local council for 17 years and was a city councilor who is not managing from 2015 to 2018. Seidl, born in Vienna in 1969, has been active in the state parliament and local council for 15 years. He has also been a deputy state party chairman since 2021.

The SPÖ will present its city councilors on Wednesday. With six city councils, she remains the strongest faction in the new city council. The Greens have already confirmed Judith Pühringer and Peter Kraus as non-official city councilors. The People's Party also made a nomination with Katarzyna "Kasia" Greco.

look into the future

The log in the city councils will take place on June 10th during the constituent meeting of the municipal council. The financial city council position is also discussed here, which is currently being filled with financial director Christoph Maschek after Peter Hanke has switched to the federal government. The political competition in Vienna remains exciting, since the opposition parties also have a seat in the city council without being assigned.

Overall, the FPÖ shows with this new team that it is relying on a clear course and is ready to assert its role in Vienna's city events. The growing votes and new nominations indicate that there is still a lot of movement in the Political operation to be expected. For the Viennese citizens this means: keeping eyes and ears open!
