The Ebersberg CSU wants to challenge Mayor Ulrich Proske (non-party) in the 2026 local elections.
She doesn't say who yet.
The timing is “too early”.
Ebersberg
- The halfway point is long over, in just over two years new city and municipal councils and new mayors will be elected in Bavaria.
In Ebersberg, town hall boss Ulrich Proske (non-party) is applying for another term of office.
It is still unclear which competitors he will have to deal with.
As the main competitor, the CSU is keeping a low profile, but at the same time it is optimistic.
The CSU lost the Ebersberg town hall in 2020 after 48 years.
She wants to take it back in the 2026 local elections.
With who?
The party doesn't want to announce this until next year.

What is needed is a mayor “who keeps his head up even in difficult situations and also dares to take responsibility for unpopular decisions,” Proske said confidently in an interview with the Ebersberger Zeitung at the end of last year.
He was alluding to the district town's difficult financial situation, which will not change in the foreseeable future.
“We shouldn’t bury our heads in the sand,” appealed the 53-year-old, who was elected on the SPD list in 2020, to the Ebersbergers.
CSU had to vacate town hall after 48 years
Just don't bury your head in the sand - that was the CSU's motto after its electoral defeat three and a half years ago.
After 48 years she had to vacate the executive office in the town hall.
Alexander Gressierer, who lost the runoff election against Proske at the age of 24, later vacated the post of Ebersberg CSU leader and moved into the second tier, which was seen as a clear sign that he no longer has any local political ambitions beyond his city council mandate.
At the end of 2021, in the middle of the corona pandemic, Alexander Fabrici took over the Christian Social scepter in the district town, and he was confirmed in office last fall.
He leads the party outwardly inconspicuously; critics claim that it is not noticeable, apart from the city council faction.
CSU wants to name applicants “at the right time”.
A candidate for the mayor's office will be named at the “right time,” says Fabrici when asked by the Ebersberger Zeitung.
This year is not the right time, said the 41-year-old.
He is confident that we have several suitable candidates in mind.
“And he or she doesn’t have to come from the city council group,” he adds.
This currently consists of seven men and one woman.
The latter is Marina Matjanovski.
She already wanted to run for office, but was unable to prevail against Gressierer within the party in a vote before the 2020 election.
Among her male colleagues (in addition to Gressierer, these are Florian Brilmayer, Johann Hilger, Grünter Obergrusberger, Josef Riedl, Martin Schechner and Martin Schedo), for various reasons there is no obvious Proske challenger - at least not necessarily.
It is therefore very likely that the CSU will pull a relatively unknown applicant out of the hat.
This then needs to be built up and made known.
Next year is the right time for this, says CSU boss Fabrici.
