Dominik Krause has been elected as Munich’s inaugural openly gay mayor, a historic achievement for the city. He commemorated his triumph with a passionate kiss from his fiancé, Sebastian Müller. Krause achieved victory in the second round of elections, garnering 56.4 percent of the vote and successfully ousting the previous SPD mayor, Dieter Reiter.
The new mayor conveyed his sincere appreciation to his partner, acknowledging Sebastian Müller as the love of his life, emphasizing that his success would have been unattainable without her unwavering support. Their connection began in 2007 during their shared enrollment at a dance school, blossoming into a strong friendship before evolving into a romantic partnership. They formalized their commitment with a wedding in 2024.
This election represents a pivotal moment for LGBTQ+ representation within German politics. Krause’s victory signifies a considerable shift and a powerful endorsement of inclusivity within the city’s governance. He is now poised to lead Munich, building upon his personal journey and the foundation of his relationship.
