Maximilian Gigl nominated as a CSU candidate for the mayoral election in Olching!

The political landscape in Olching takes shape, because the CSU has nominated an experienced candidate for the Mayor election in 2026 with Maximilian Gigl. The 33-year-old, who has been active in the Olchinger city council since 2014 and has been the second mayor since 2020, was chosen by his party without voting against. This shows the trust that is brought towards him, especially according to his first challenge in 2020 against the SPD office owner Andreas Magg, in which he moved into the runoff election, but ultimately defeated 57 percent, like Süddeutsche reported.

gigl, who has a solid scientific basis as a business economist and electrical engineer, relies on a financial consolidation of the city and plans to concentrate on the fulfillment of mandatory tasks. An important point in his political agenda is an investment timetable for the next ten years, which is intended to prioritize schools, streets and infrastructure. The care of the citizens with adequate living space is important to him. Contrary to the trend towards social housing, he strives to realize barrier -free and senior real estate. A possible location for this could be the urban property on Heckenstraße, corner of Buchfinkenstrasse.

where is the journey for Olching?

Another concern of Gigl is the promotion of honorary offices and clubs. He is particularly planning to enable the Olching sports club an all -weather court and also create a new gym in Esting. He also wants to build another all -weather court on a fallow plot on Feursstraße to expand the sporting infrastructure.

The development of the districts, especially Esting and Neu-Esting, is important to him. Potential for improvement around the train station should also be addressed. In his nomination speech, Gigl made it clear that he wanted to preserve Olching as a living city and wants to campaign not to convert the character of the city into an anonymous suburb. Transparent communication and the integration of citizens in decision processes should play a crucial role here, especially with regard to the development of the Paulusgrube.

political competition

On the other side of the political stage, the SPD also put its cards on the table: Julia Worch was nominated as the successor for Andreas Magg, which was no longer played for re -election. Magg, who has already announced to apply for the office of the district administrator, has gained a lot of experience in recent years and would like to bring it into his future career. For the upcoming elections, it will be exciting to see how voters will choose in Olching, especially in view of the local elections that are often strongly shaped by local issues, which include citizens more in their decisions than at the state or federal level, such as the Federal Center for Political Education explained.

The local elections in 2026 could be a trend -setting choice for Olching. The voters have the opportunity to give up their vote and thus actively participate in their community. In Bavaria, where the local elections play a central role in the political system, voters are strongly involved in both citizens' initiatives and the free voters, and these currents could also be important in Olching.
