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.
