Nino Haase: “My goal is to promote the holistic development of Mainz: a government that is consistently focused on its citizens, an economy that shapes the future, and a city that remains a place where people want to live and love.

The administration should become more digital and service-oriented so that issues can be resolved more quickly and it’s easy to get in touch. At the same time, the administration’s other goals include providing impetus, facilitating new ideas, and actively shaping developments.

A strong business environment is the foundation for this: companies need reliable framework conditions, room for innovation, and prospects for sustainable growth. It is crucial that all of this benefits the people—in the form of quality of life, opportunities, and a strong sense of community."

Nino Haase: “Mainz, the state capital, faces the key challenge of shaping change in a way that ensures it has a lasting impact and is supported by the people. The administration must become more modern and digital—at the same time, citizens rightly expect fast, transparent, and reliable solutions.

In addition to modernizing the administration, there are the major questions for the future that concern us all: How do we ensure our city’s economic strength and jobs? How do we shape sustainable growth? And how does Mainz remain a city where people enjoy living? These issues are closely intertwined and require decisions that take a long-term view while also improving people’s daily lives.”

Nino Haase: “For me, ‘Typical Mainz’ is the special closeness between people. People strike up conversations, exchange ideas, and find solutions together—directly and without complications. This sense of community also shapes my work.
Mainz has the ability to preserve tradition while remaining open to new ideas. It is precisely this attitude that is crucial: listening, understanding, thinking ahead—and shaping the city together."
