Нооша Аубель (50 років, безпартійна) вступила на посаду обербургомістерки столиці федеральної землі Бранденбург — Потсдама — 24 жовтня 2025 року, отримавши надзвичайно високий кредит довіри: у другому турі виборів за неї проголосували 72,9 відсотка виборців. Аубель обіцяла сучасну, прозору та дієздатну адміністрацію, більше доступного житла, якіснішу освіту та серйозний діалог із громадянами. Вона впевнено заявила, що не потребує жодного пільгового періоду. Саме за цими заявленими стандартами Аубель тепер і має оцінюватися — не за привабливими дописами в соціальних мережах, зокрема у Facebook, не за гучними словами, покликаними підтримувати професійно вибудуваний публічний образ, і не за демонстративним проголошенням моральних цінностей, а за конкретними результатами.
