Shortly before the state elections, Christian Bernreiter, whose main job is building minister, is to become party leader in Lower Bavaria – and repair the damage caused by his predecessor Andreas Scheuer.

If you will, Christian Bernreiter is the cliché of a CSU politician – and at the same time the opposite. Physically robust, strong in dialect, outspoken. But not a “speaker”, as he would say himself, not a joker who only masters the super Bavarian pose that is so popular in the CSU, especially in the postcard country of Upper Bavaria. Bernreiter comes from Lower Bavaria, where the wind blows rougher in some places. And soon he is the most powerful CSU politician there.
