District election is approaching: Who will be the new boss in the Starnberg district?
The local elections in Bavaria are taking place on Sunday, March 8, 2026. Voters in the Starnberg district can look forward to an exciting race for the post of district administrator. The incumbent district administrator Stefan Frey from the CSU is running again and has strong support behind him. This was reported by the South German newspaper, which lists the most important candidates and parties.
Frey is being challenged by Michaela Eisenschmid (Free Voters), Roman Sonnenberg (AfD), Benjamin Baro (Greens) and Markus Deschler (FDP). Once again, the CSU seems to be on a good course with Frey, especially since the SPD in the district has decided to run without its own candidate and instead support Frey, as he did District messengers reported.
The district council election in view
Numerous parties have put forward their candidates for the district council elections. The CSU, Free Voters, AfD, Greens, SPD, FDP, The Left and the ÖDP are entering the race. What is particularly noteworthy is that the ÖDP has reached the required number of supporter signatures (385), of which a total of 680 valid signatures were submitted to the district authority. In contrast, the election proposal of the Basic Democratic Party of Germany was not approved due to a lack of signatures, as only 59 signatures were submitted.
The SPD has drawn up its district council list with over 60 candidates, which is led by Christiane Feichtmeier, member of the state parliament and district chairwoman. The first ten places are filled as follows:
| Place | name |
|---|---|
| 1 | Christiane Feichtmeier |
| 2 | Christian Winklmeier |
| 3 | Christiane Falk |
| 4 | Manfred Walter |
| 5 | Elisabeth Fuchsenberger |
| 6 | Dr. Frank Hauser |
| 7 | Steffi Weller |
| 8 | Matthias Hellwig |
| 9 | Christel Muggenthal |
| 10 | Claus Angerbauer |
Weller, who is running as mayoral candidate from Gilching, enthusiastically welcomed the delegates and guests. What is particularly noteworthy is that, in the spirit of equality, the list up to place 48 was designed according to the zipper principle, which promotes the integration of different age groups.
