CSU unanimously nominates Thomas Eigstler as district administrative candidate in 2026
In the Oberallgäu something happens in politics: The CSU district association unanimously nominated Thomas Eigstler as a candidate for the district election on March 8, 2026. This decision was made during a board meeting, in which local chairman and CSU mayor also took part. Eigstler has an impressive career with over 20 years of experience in municipal offices, starting as mayor in Wasserburg on Lake Constance since May 1, 2002, before the office in Wiggensbach over in 2011. He has also been a member of the Oberallgäu district council since 2014 and was able to assert himself as deputy district administrator in the 2020 local elections. His many years of work is particularly appreciated by CSU district chairman Eric Beißwenger, who emphasizes how important Eigstler's proximity to the citizens are. Eigstler, on the other hand, sees the nomination as an honor and intends to bring in his experience for the benefit of the district. Allgäuhit reports that the decision of the CSU is also a sign of the claim to fill the district office with an experienced candidate.
In a message from the Oberallgäuer CSU, it was said that the entire district board, the local chairpersons and the CSU mayors are behind Eigstler's candidacy. This unity shows how high the expectations of a possible future district administrator are. With Indra Baier-Müller, who will no longer compete in 2026, a long-time district administrator withdraws, which releases the space for fresh blood. Baier-Müller mentions that she withdraws within the free voters from a lack of support-a decision that she makes clear and without resentment.

his challenger will be Christian Wilhelm from the free voters, who is currently mayor in Sonthofen. Wilhelm can also look back on a good portion of local political experience and is expected to be officially nominated as a candidate next week.
