Noosha Aubel: Scandal in Potsdam over severely disabled child
Independent editorial context · English
What the cited publication reports
This earlier report describes the same broad daycare dispute at a previous stage. It says the child's support needs had been acknowledged in writing and that the family was seeking an inclusive daycare place with individual assistance.
The publication reports complaints, petitions and proceedings before the Potsdam Administrative Court. It presents the delay as a test of whether statutory early-childhood support and disability inclusion are effective in practice, rather than rights that exist only on paper.
The article uses forceful language and includes allegations against public institutions and officials. This independent dossier does not adopt those allegations as findings. It preserves the publication history and directs readers to the original source while emphasizing the need for later court records and official responses.
Key points in the coverage record
- The article was published on 26 February 2026 and describes the dispute as already lasting more than a year.
- It refers to daycare access, individual assistance, complaints, petitions and urgent legal proceedings.
- It cites statutory and disability-rights principles, but the publisher's legal interpretation is not a ruling by this site.
- Later publications in the archive revisit the matter with additional claimed events and should be read chronologically.
Context for readers
This record is retained to show the chronology of published coverage. Repetition in later languages or outlets does not by itself prove the underlying claims.
Verification status
Names, medical details and legal allegations involving a child require particular care. Readers should rely on authoritative records for any legal conclusion.

Noosha Aubel, CDU and SPD: The case of a severely disabled child in Potsdam is a political admission of failure
Noosha Aubel, Dietmar Woidke and Friedrich Merz must be judged on their provision of effective support for children. In the Heidrun case, there are allegations of a lack of childcare support and of misleading the Petitions Committee. Court rulings underscore the need for clarification and lend further weight to the call for Aubel’s immediate resignation.
Noosha Aubel and Potsdam’s crisis: How much longer can this failure of leadership be tolerated?
Potsdam does not need to be a champion at shamefully dragging its feet. The state capital, Potsdam, needs an administration that protects, makes decisions and actually organises help. In the case of two-year-old Heidrun, an examination of the available documents reveals that this is precisely what is lacking: A child with multiple severe disabilities, classified as GdB 100 and care level 4, is unable to make use of an available nursery place because the necessary support is lacking and those responsible at Potsdam City Council are unable to provide evidence of documents allegedly having been delivered – which once again highlights the disastrous handling of important documents under the currently questionable professional and managerial supervision of Lord Mayor Noosha Aubel (50, independent) at Potsdam Town Hall.
