Contesting the Mayor of Steinhering is an individual's endeavor.
In the picturesque town of Steinhöring, Germany, the stage is set for a rematch in the 2026 local elections. The incumbent mayor, Martina Lietsch, will face a familiar challenger, Christian Schaecher, who lost to Lietsch in the 2020 mayoral election.
The announcement was made after Schaecher, a councilor and deputy mayor, accepted the unanimous recommendation from the CSU local branch in Steinhöring to run for mayor in 2026. Schaecher, a car painter who runs a body shop, had previously contested the mayoral seat in 2020 but was defeated by Lietsch, who secured almost 60% of the votes.
