BfP Sets 2026 Ticket: Jabs for Penzberg Mayor, Böge for Weilheim–Schongau Landrat

The nominations signal a bid to raise Penzberg’s clout in city and county decisions as campaigning begins under tight budgets.

Overview

  • Armin Jabs was unanimously nominated and is running on a pledge of fiscal responsibility with priorities including school renovations, a new firehouse, utility financing, and upgrades to the stadium and pool‑hall gym.
  • Former FDP politician Timo Böge won unanimous backing to run for Landrat after quitting the party, bringing an entrepreneurial background and a doctorate in molecular biotechnology.
  • Böge proposes moving economic development out of the county administration into a business‑involved company and criticizes the county hospital company as a money pit, opposing a higher‑tier provider in Weilheim.
  • The voter group approved full slates of 24 candidates for the Penzberg city council and 25 for the county council, with Jabs and Böge as lead figures as they seek stronger representation.
  • The March 8, 2026 vote will also include incumbent CSU mayor Stefan Korpan and challengers from the SPD, Greens, and Penzberg Miteinander, making five mayoral candidates.
