AfD reshuffles Friedrichshafen council seats after health-related resignation
The AfD parliamentary group in Friedrichshafen's city council has seen a change in personnel. Manuel Stiehle, who served as a non-party member of the AfD faction for two years, has stepped down. His departure comes after he cited health reasons for his resignation in March 2026.
Stiehle joined the council in 2024 at his own request, working alongside the AfD group until his exit. His role was voluntary, and his time in office lasted just under two years.
Detlev Gallandt has now taken over Stiehle's position within the AfD faction. Alongside this, Gallandt will serve on multiple committees, including the Apportionment Committee and the joint committee overseeing the administrative partnership between Friedrichshafen and the municipality of Immenstaad. He will also represent the AfD on the Planning, Construction, and Environment Committee. Beyond these roles, Gallandt has been appointed to the City Marketing Advisory Board and will act as an alternate member of the Council of Elders.
Gallandt's appointment fills the vacancy left by Stiehle's departure. His new responsibilities span several key committees, ensuring the AfD group maintains representation in local decision-making. The transition follows Stiehle's resignation due to health concerns earlier this year.
