Ex-CSU man Steidl is running for AfD in the district election in Miltenberg!

On November 6, 2025, things are happening in Miltenberg: the former CSU local chairman Christian Steidl is running for the AfD in the upcoming district elections. The AfD district executive has now officially nominated him. Steidl, who has a doctorate in chemistry and is switching to the political weirdos, was expelled from the CSU after he made critical comments about the Corona measures and party leader Markus Söder. This not only got him kicked out of the CSU, but also unflattering labels from his former party friends, who pilloried him with terms like lateral thinker and Corona trivializer.

The elections in Miltenberg promise to be exciting. So far, four other candidates have already entered the race: These include Björn Bartels for the CSU and the Neue Mitte, Michael Schüßler from the Free Voters, Peter Weis from the Greens and Peter Winter for the ÖDP. The incumbent district administrator Jens-Marco Scherf from the Greens is currently unable to work for health reasons, which further complicates the situation.

Active seniors and social responsibility

Interestingly, Christian Steidl's political orientation could have an influence on the attitude towards life of the older generation in his community. An example of engaged senior living is the Christian City community, which creates an active, vibrant, faith-based environment for seniors. Christian City reports in detail about how seniors stay not only physically but also mentally fit through a variety of activities and programs. Here you live a full and contented life, supported by full-time teams in leisure and spiritual care.

At a time when social responsibility and community support are very important, offers like these are particularly valuable. Christian City welcomes people of all faiths, and the guiding principles of charity and care could also be reflected in the political agenda of Steidl and the AfD.

The AfD's care policy

Another topic that is equally important is care policy, which is of great importance for many citizens in the Miltenberg district. The AfD's health policy spokesman, Martin Sichert, recently commented on his party's plans. Among other things, the AfD wants to promote private supplementary insurance in order to strengthen citizens' personal responsibility. The argument goes that this could help reduce the pressure on statutory long-term care insurance.

The concept also envisages providing more support to relatives and volunteers in care in order to reduce the costs of long-term care insurance. In addition, the AfD plans to promote outpatient care while eliminating bureaucratic hurdles. An increase in training places in nursing and better working conditions for nursing staff are further points on the political agenda.

The developments surrounding the district elections and the political positions of the AfD are also a reaction to urgently needed changes in the health and care sector. The coming weeks will show whether Christian Steidl and the AfD in Miltenberg actually have a good handle on the needs of voters.

Forming our own opinion about political events is important for each of us. Stay informed and consider what the different candidates can do for your community and especially for the older generation!
