Schöppl is a councilor in the city of Salzburg and was a member of the Salzburg state parliament from 1999 to 2004 . After the party leader Rupert Doppler in Salzburg was excluded from the party by Federal Party leader Heinz-Christian Strache on June 9, 2015, Schöppl became his successor at the head of the FPÖ regional organization. Since June 2018 he has been a member of the Salzburg state parliament again.

education and profession

Schöppl was born in Salzburg and attended elementary school in the Taxham district from 1968 to 1972 . In 1972 he moved to the Academic Gymnasium Salzburg and graduated in 1980 with the Matura. He then did his military service as a one-year volunteer with the Austrian Armed Forces between 1980 and 1981 and then studied law at the University of Salzburg from 1981 . In 1987 he received his doctorate as Dr. iur. and completed his court year in Salzburg in the same year. He then worked as a trainee lawyer between 1987 and 1992, and has been a lawyer in Salzburg since 1992.

Politics and functions

After completing his studies, Schöppl was involved as regional chairman of the Ring of Freedom Youth between 1987 and 1988 . He is a member of the striking "Academic Landsmannschaft der Salzburger zu Salzburg". From 1998 to 2006 he was also active within the FPÖ as deputy district party chairman of the city of Salzburg. Since 2007 he has been district party chairman of the FPÖ Salzburg-Stadt. Furthermore, from 2004 to 2006 he was local party chairman of the FPÖ Gneis-Morzg-Nonntal and in 2006 took over the internal party function of local party chairman of the FPÖ Leopoldskron-Moos-Riedenburg-Gneis-Morzg. At the state level he was active as state party secretary between 1999 and 2003, and in 1999 he became a member of the state party executive. At the federal level, he was a member of the Federal Party Court of the FPÖ from 1994 and 1999 and since 2006.

Between April 27, 1999 and April 27, 2004, Schöppl was a member of the Salzburg state parliament and deputy chairman of the FPÖ state parliament club. After the heavy losses of the FPÖ in the state elections in Salzburg in 2004 , Schöppl left the state parliament. From May 5, 2004, he was a member of the municipal council of the city of Salzburg and was subsequently the sole representative of the FPÖ in the municipal council until 2009, since the other mandataries changed to the BZÖ under Doris Tatzl. In 2009 Schöppl became the FPÖ's club chairman in the Salzburg municipal council, and he is also a member of the city senate and the control committee. In January 2015, Schöppl was surprisingly voted out of office as club chairman in the city of Salzburg by his party colleagues - possibly an expression of the quarrels within the FPÖ-Salzburg, which on June 9, 2015 led to the expulsion of the state party chairman Rupert Doppler and his predecessor Karl Schnell . Most recently, however, the two had campaigned for Schöppl to return to community politics. As deputy state party chairman of the FPÖ, Schöppl moved up to the position of state party chairman.

After the state elections in Salzburg in 2018 , he was sworn in again as a member of the Salzburg state parliament on June 13, 2018 in the constituent session of the 16th legislative period .
