Federal Chancellor Attends New Year's Reception of Local CSU
Chancellor Friedrich Merz will attend the district CSU’s New Year’s reception on January 11, 2026. The event, originally planned for January 2025, was delayed due to the snap federal election campaign. Security measures will be strict, with guests facing checks and registration requirements before entry.
The reception will take place in the Sitzungssaal der Kulturhalle Schaafheim, a change from the previously announced Gut Kaltenbrunn. Around 900 attendees are expected, despite a tighter guest list.
Security will be tight. Guests must register in advance via a QR code and bring both a printed invitation and an online ticket. Bag checks will also be carried out upon arrival. Merz, who frequently stays near Lake Tegernsee, will deliver the keynote speech. While its exact content remains unclear, it is likely to address current political issues and may include support for local election candidates.
The event marks Merz’s first major appearance at a district CSU gathering since the election campaign. Strict entry procedures and a controlled guest list reflect heightened security concerns. His speech will be closely watched for signals on future political priorities.
