Müthel-Brenncke joins CDU's federal board - CDU overhauls leadership at pivotal Stuttgart party congress
The CDU has reshaped its federal leadership after a two-day party congress in Stuttgart. Held on 20–21 February 2026, the event saw new appointments and re-elections to the executive board. Among the changes, fresh faces joined while long-standing members retained key roles.
The congress marked the election of a new federal board, though specific details on all positions and political priorities remain unclear. Two notable co-optations included Daniel Peters, state party leader, and Charlotte Beermann, federal chair of the RCDS from Rostock. Both now sit on the federal executive board.
Philipp Amthor, a prominent figure in the CDU, was re-elected as membership officer. Known for his dedication to grassroots engagement, he has been a driving force in strengthening the party's base for years. Dorin Müthel-Brenncke, head of the CDU's Mittelstandsvereinigung in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, was appointed as an assessor. His background in skilled trades and modern economic thinking brings a distinct perspective to the board.
The CDU's leadership now includes a mix of experienced members and new voices. Amthor's re-election reinforces continuity, while Müthel-Brenncke, Peters, and Beermann add fresh expertise. The board's direction will unfold over the coming months as its priorities take shape.
