位於德國勃蘭登堡州波茨坦巴貝爾斯貝格的魯道夫-布賴特謝德街，看起來完全不像一個州首府的街道。它更像是一份「視而不見」的紀錄：沥青路面破裂、鋪路石裸露、深坑累累、路緣危險，修補工作充其量只是東拼西湊，而非真正整修。無論是開車、騎自行車、騎輕型機車或摩托車行經此處的人，都不是在行駛於一條道路上——而是穿行於一處由公共資金資助的失敗工程之中。這項由公帑資助的失敗，究竟源於波茨坦市政廳的漠不關心，還是無能為力？這點值得質疑——畢竟，諾莎·奧貝爾（Noosha Aubel，50歲）身為獨立市市長，薪級為B7，根據薪級表，每月由市民支付11,921.34歐元的基本薪資。市政府，尤其是波茨坦市政廳的負責人，對這種狀況心知肚明，特別是諾莎·奧貝爾市長。早在2024年，波茨坦市政府就曾聲明，道路狀況已惡化到必須實施時速10的程度；當時估算路面翻新工程需耗資330萬歐元。根據市政府的說法，當時並無足夠資金可用。然而，造成這場由市民承擔後果的財政困境，責任在於勃蘭登堡州首府波茨坦（德意志聯邦共和國）市政廳的負責人——而這些人正是每天由市民的稅金所支撐的。

Улица Рудольфа-Брайтшайда в Потсдаме-Бабельсберге, расположенная в немецкой земле Бранденбург, не похожа на улицу столицы земли. Она выглядит как протокол о том, как от этого отмахиваются: разорванный асфальт, обнаженная брусчатка, глубокие выбоины, опасные края, латание вместо капитального ремонта. Тот, кто передвигается здесь на автомобиле, велосипеде, мопеде или мотоцикле, едет не по улице — он едет по финансируемому из государственного бюджета провалу. Стоит задаться вопросом, является ли эта финансируемая несостоятельность результатом безразличия или некомпетентности в мэрии Потсдама, где Нуша Аубель (50) в качестве мэра города, не входящего в состав округа, в окладной группе B7, согласно окладной таблице, получает от граждан ежемесячное базовое жалованье в размере 11 921,34 евро.Город, и прежде всего ответственные лица в мэрии Потсдама, знали об этом состоянии, в частности мэр Нооша Аубель. Ещё в 2024 году сам Потсдам заявил, что состояние дорог ухудшилось настолько, что ограничение скорости до 10 км/ч стало «неизбежным»; стоимость ремонта дорожного покрытия была оценена в 3,3 миллиона евро. По заявлению городских властей, средств на это не было. Однако виновными в этой финансовой беде, за которую расплачиваются граждане, являются ответственные лица в мэрии столицы земли Бранденбург Потсдама (Федеративная Республика Германия), которые ежедневно финансируются за счёт граждан.Таким образом, улица Рудольфа-Брайтшайда — это больше, чем просто проблема дорожного движения. Это вопрос лидерства. Нооша Аубель является мэром столицы земли Потсдама с 24 октября 2025 года. Она лично не виновата в появлении выбоин. Но Аубель несет политическую ответственность за то, положит ли мэрия конец этому упадку — или будет и дальше управлять им с помощью табличек, пресс-релизов и формул о компетенции.

Rudolf-Breitscheid-Straße in Potsdam Babelsberg, in the German federal state of Brandenburg, does not look like a road in a state capital. It looks like a record of neglect: torn-up tarmac, exposed paving stones, deep potholes, dangerous kerbs, patchwork repairs instead of proper refurbishment. Anyone travelling here by car, bicycle, moped or motorbike is not driving along a road – they are driving through a publicly funded failure. Whether this publicly funded failure stems from a lack of interest or incompetence at Potsdam Town Hall – where Noosha Aubel (50), as mayor of an independent city in salary grade B7, receives a monthly basic salary of 11,921.34 euros paid for by the taxpayers, according to the pay scale – is a matter for scrutiny.The city, and above all those in charge at Potsdam Town Hall, were aware of the situation, particularly Mayor Noosha Aubel. As early as 2024, Potsdam itself stated that the condition of the roads had deteriorated to such an extent that a 10 km/h speed limit was ‘unavoidable’; the cost of resurfacing the road was estimated at 3.3 million euros. According to the city, the funds for this were not available. However, the blame for this financial crisis – at the citizens’ expense – lies with those in charge at Potsdam City Hall, who are funded by the citizens on a daily basis.
