Treasurer in the Pirate Party (2009-2011)

Shortly after his admission to the Pirate Party, Schlömer ran successfully for the office of treasurer in the federal executive committee at the federal party congress in Hamburg . When he took office in July 2009, he said he only found a box with slips of paper as the party fund. The federal treasurers up to Schlömer's election had simply disappeared during their official term of office and could not be found for months. A number of receipts and donation receipts were missing, which the news portal Spiegel Online believed that they were "probably not issued in the first place".

Schlömer admitted that the Pirate Party had been very careless with its finances since it was founded in 2006. Since donations were received via payment systems such as PayPal , for example , the donors remained anonymous and could not receive a receipt. According to Schlömers estimates, receipts and information about the donors were missing for 30 percent of the total income.

The improperly booked money could not be included in the 2009 statement of accounts and was not counted towards the state partial financing . Schlömer had to deal with his own party ideology in his work as treasurer, as the party rejects commercially licensed, non- free software and some accounting programs were developed in-house.

He received 66.6 percent of the vote in the election by approval . Schlömer replaced Sebastian Nerz , who had led the party for a year. According to his own statements, Schlömer was not aiming for a seat in the Bundestag . After the 2013 federal election , in which the Pirate Party won 2.2 percent of the vote, Schlömer publicly announced that he no longer wanted to run for the new board election at the federal party conference at the end of November.
