AfD candidate Benjamin Nolte wants to become district administrator in Weilheim-Schongau!

On December 22, 2025, Benjamin Nolte from the AfD caused a stir when he was unanimously nominated as a candidate for the office of district administrator in the Weilheim-Schongau district. The nomination took place during the AfD district association's assembly meeting, and Nolte is using this platform to draw attention to urgent issues within the district. After a lot of discussion, he emphasized the need for a stricter migration policy, which, in his opinion, directly affects the everyday life of citizens.

“We have to talk about migration policy,” said Nolte, who does not see current developments without ulterior motives. He also called for a complete clarification of the events surrounding the Schongau hospital. “Our health care in the western district must be restored,” he said emphatically. He also cares about the heritage of culture and traditions; he emphasized that citizens' voices should be heard in politics.

Nomination and district council list

The assembly also approved a list for the district council election, which consists of 28 members. These members prevailed in the individual election process and come from different parts of the district with a wide variety of professional backgrounds. A spokesman for the district association explained that the list combines a wide range of competencies in order to be able to effectively meet the district's challenges.

Nolte was proud of the lists drawn up and praised the commitment of his party colleagues. He emphasized the importance of taking responsibility in the councils.

Who is Benjamin Nolte?

Benjamin Dominik Nolte was born on July 4, 1982 in Hagen and grew up in the Sauerland. After graduating from high school in 2002 and completing basic military service in the Air Force, he studied industrial engineering at the Technical University of Munich. During his studies he was involved in various fraternities and joined the AfD in 2013. His political career took off when he was elected to the Bavarian State Parliament in the Weilheim-Schongau constituency in the 2023 Bavarian state elections. Nolte is well known, but he also carries the burden of his past, such as an incident at a boys' day that earned him the nickname “Banana Nolte”.

The federal political situation, particularly migration, also remains a hot topic for the district. On May 7th, Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt announced that border controls would be tightened in order to streamline migration policy. This topic also plays a central role for Nolte. He has called for a rethinking of migration policy, which is also reflected in political initiatives at the federal level. In his government statement, Chancellor Merz emphasized that migration policy should be fair and constitutional. It is important to protect public safety and order as well as to avoid overloading cities and communities.

In the midst of these developments, Nolte wants to set an example to represent the interests of his electorate and respond to the specific needs of the district. It remains to be seen how the political landscape in Weilheim-Schongau will develop in the coming months.
