Her son is said to have found the SPD politician seriously wounded inside her flat after Tuesday’s attack.
She reportedly told him she had been assaulted on the street before managing to get back indoors.
Emergency doctors are battling to save her, according to German outlets Bild and Ovb.
The motive behind the attack remains unclear.
Police have since issued a major alert and launched a large-scale search for the culprits.
A homicide squad is expected to take over the case, local media reported.
Stalzer had only been elected mayor for a town in the Ruhr region in a runoff vote on September 28.
