CSU Backs Simon Schindlmayr for Freising Mayor in 2026

The 41-year-old Bezirksrat enters the open race with a management-first pitch focused on finances, housing, childcare.

Overview

  • The Freising CSU publicly presented Simon Schindlmayr as its Oberbürgermeister candidate, with a formal party nomination planned for mid-November.
  • Schindlmayr pledges to strengthen the local economy and link the city more closely with science and start-ups to boost revenues for a heavily indebted municipality.
  • He highlights family housing and childcare capacity as immediate priorities alongside a citizen-focused, efficient city administration.
  • A recent arrival from Eching, he brings a master’s degree in public management, leadership at the VBG, and long-standing volunteer roles including Kreisjugendring, Caritas and Lebenshilfe.
  • Local party figures, including the Frauen-Union, voiced full support, while the race broadens as the Freie Wähler officially nominated 29-year-old Daniel Hubensteiner; incumbent Tobias Eschenbacher is not running.
