The citizens of the district of Freising have put their cross in the state election. The FT shows five trends that emerge from the result.
District – 25,434 times the cross was made on the small white ballot paper with Dr. Florian Herrmann. This was enough to win the direct mandate and win a clear victory over Benno Zierer (18,578 votes) and Johannes Becher (15,358 votes).
It is worth taking a closer look at the direct candidates and 24 municipalities – right down to the question of whether Die PARTEI has achieved its election goal. In its election analysis, the FT identified five trends.
The winner gains ground and still slips
A review of the results of Florian Herrmann (CSU) shows that he remained below 30 percent in five municipalities. Almost traditionally, it achieved the worst result in the city of Freising with 24.4 percent – even though it was able to increase by 7.6 percent here. He also "failed" to reach the 30 percent mark in Attenkirchen, Kranzberg, Marzling and Paunzhausen. The Minister of State achieved his best result in the airport municipality of Hallbergmoos: 37.4 percent.

With 31.4 percent of the vote, Herrmann was behind the second votes for the CSU (33.2 percent), and was only able to garner more votes than his party received in Hörgertshausen with 31.1 percent and Mauern with 34.1 percent.
And even though Herrmann was able to increase compared to 2018 (in Marzling he increased his result from 18 to a whopping 28.5 percent), there were municipalities, especially in the north of the district, where he had to take losses: These include Au, Gammelsdorf, Nandlstadt, and Wang, but particularly drastically in Hörgertshausen, where he slipped from 40.5 to 31.1 percent, and in Rudelzhausen, where it slumped from 42.1 to 33.4 percent.
Zierer is better than his party
One of the winners of the evening was undoubtedly Benno Zierer (FW). The analysis of his results, which in many cases exceeded those of his party, clearly shows that the state is the domain of the FW candidate: He only achieved less than 20 percent of the first votes in Neufahrn (17.1 percent), Moosburg (17.8 percent), Eching (15 percent) and Freising, where he lost a whopping 18.2 percent compared to his 3 result with 8.2018 percent.

Zierer achieved the best result in Kirchdorf with 32 percent, and was also above the 30 percent mark in another six municipalities – namely Gammelsdorf, Hörgertshausen, Kranzberg, Paunzhausen, Rudelzhausen and Wolfersdorf.
There is only one consolation for cups
Johannes Becher of the Greens, the third in the alliance of the previous MPs from the district, has to cope with the heaviest losses parallel to his party. In not a single one of the 24 district municipalities was he or the Greens able to make gains, even in the "green" strongholds things went badly downhill:

In Moosburg, Becher's hometown, he won 24 percent of the vote (in 2018 it was 30.8 percent), and in Marzling he received 21.7 percent of the first votes (2018.29 percent in 8). The fact that he and the Greens are still the strongest forces in the city of Freising, ahead of the CSU and FW with 29.1 percent, may be a consolation, but in view of losses of 5.1 percent compared to the last state election, it is rather a small one.
The AFD strongholds are located in the Hallertau
The AfD and Melanie Hilz can also count themselves among the winners. In every municipality, the vote for Hilz remained in single digits only in Eching, Freising, Kranzberg and Marzling. The AfD strongholds are Nandlstadt with 17.9 percent and Rudelzhausen with 17.2 percent.
Others no longer have a stronghold at all
Once again, Alina Graf and the SPD are among the defeated: It probably says it all if the SPD stronghold is still called Eching, but the comrades there did not make it into the double-digit range in either the first or second votes: 9.7 percent for Graf, 9.8 percent for the SPD.
The election was also disappointing for the FDP and its direct candidate Helmut Markwort: In no municipality did they get more than five percent and even the name did not go right, because the first vote result was sometimes slightly above and sometimes slightly below the second vote result.

The Left Party and Guido Hoyer achieved their best result in Freising (2.2 and 2.0 percent respectively) and the ÖDP with Felix Bergauer was also strongest in the city of Freising with 1.8 and 2.2 percent respectively.
(By the way: Everything from the region is now also available in our regular Freising newsletter.)
Oh yes, and The PARTY? Niklas Welser was able to reap 0.9 percent of the first votes and thus, he said, achieve the election goal of "100 percent plus x". "But because I still have to graduate from high school, I'm passing on my direct mandate to Florian Herrmann."
