After passing the second state examination, Landscheidt worked as an in-house counsel in the legal department of an international trading group.

In 1993 he was elected first alderman in Kamp-Lintfort, then elected city ​​director in 1996 , and in autumn 1999 he became the city's first directly elected full-time mayor .

Landscheidt gained national notoriety in early 2020 when he applied for a gun license due to threats from the right-wing extremist milieu . In the European election campaign in 2019 he had the far-right party posters The rights can depend on because he as inciting panelist. Because of the threats that followed, he had applied for a gun license, but not received it. He therefore filed a lawsuit against the rejection of the gun license application. His goal was not actually arming, but on the one hand the judicial clarification of the legal question of whether mayors are "endangered sovereigns" within the meaning of the law, on the other hand the initiation of the public discussion about better protection of local politicians from right-wing violence and agitation. After the administrative court disregarded his request for a non-public hearing and the Minister of the Interior quoted from the court files on security-relevant facts in the public meeting of the Parliament's Interior Committee on January 16, 2020, he took the action out of concern for his and his family's safety back. At the same time he announced his candidacy.
