from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Life

After elementary school, Marchat attended a lower grammar school and subsequently graduated from the Pyhra agricultural college, where he trained as an agricultural master. He became involved in Obritzberg-Rust as an executive councilor from 1990 and was a councilor from 1995 to 1998, before he was again an executive councilor between 2000 and 2003 and from 2005 to 2007, but without chairing a committee. For the local council election campaign in 2005 , the former FPÖ list was renamed to the new FPÖ-related list “WIR” (from the 2015 GR election without official party affiliation), whose authorized delivery agent Marchat is still today. Marchat also worked as state party secretary between 1994 and 1998 and represented the FPÖ between June 7, 1993 and April 24, 2003 in the state parliament. Within the party, he also held the function of a member of the federal party leadership and was on the federal party executive from 1998. His close personal friendship with Jörg Haider should be emphasized .

Marchat, who failed in the election to the FPÖ regional chairman in 1998, was also defeated by Ernest Windholz in 2000 in the election for the role of FPÖ regional chairman of Lower Austria. In 2000 he then resigned from his position as FPÖ club chairman, which he had held since 1998. In 2001 he became state party secretary again and was again club chairman in November 2002 after Barbara Rosenkranz had moved to the National Council. Marchat subsequently stood as a top candidate in the state elections in Lower Austria in 2003 , but lost seven of the previous nine mandates as a result of the Knittelfelder FPÖ assembly in 2002 . Marchat subsequently withdrew from politics.

In the following years he worked with a partner as a petrol station operator in St. Pölten, and later also in Pyhra.

For some time he also acted as a trainer of a youth team at the local soccer club “ASV Statzendorf”, he is also President of the Austrian Association of Carrier Pigeon Breeders (ÖBTZ).

At the beginning of 2013 it became known that Marchat was organizing the election campaign for the Stronach team for the Lower Austrian state elections , but without running for a seat, he also withdrew his FPÖ membership. According to research by the daily newspaper Kurier , the Stronach team had specific considerations to appoint Marchat as club chairman if he won the election or, if he did not get this position, to settle with the amount of € 100,000.

Franz Marchat is married and has two sons and a daughter.
