Act

Barfuß was full-time 1st Mayor of Lauingen (Danube) from 1986 to 2004 . One of the merits of his tenure was the integration of foreign residents. On March 2, 1996, the Hicret Mosque in Lauingen was the first mosque in Bavaria to be inaugurated with a minaret and separate women's area, for which it was awarded the German-Turkish Freedom Prize in 2003. However, this also earned him a lot of criticism from party colleagues of the Christian Social Union at the time, as well as the nickname “Türken-Schorsch”, as they saw this commitment as an affront to the party program.

His deselection as mayor met with mixed feelings in his hometown. While supporters saw his commitment to the community and society as profitable, he was criticized many times by opponents mainly because of his poor housekeeping.

In the 2005 Bundestag election , he ran unsuccessfully in the Donau-Ries constituency . He was a long-time member of the Lauingen (Danube) city council and is a member of the district council of Dillingen ad Donau .

In the state elections in 2008 he ran in the constituency Augsburg-Land, Dillingen unsuccessfully, but was elected to the state parliament via the FDP district list Swabia . After the FDP could not overcome the five percent hurdle in the state elections in Bavaria in 2013 , he left the state parliament.

He served as commissioner for integration of the Free State of Bavaria provided and said in an interview that was the Sharia could apply to the extent compatible is with the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany. In public as well as in the FDP, this statement was felt to be unbearable in an enlightened, secular republic, whereupon Barfuß withdrew his application for the office of integration officer. Barfuß also received criticism from the Christian side when he announced the following sentence in 2008: “I don't need churches in Turkey if there are no Christians” and spoke of a possibility of building as many mosques as “like the Muslims want " . Thus the relationship with the large Christian churches was permanently disrupted and loud criticism of Georg Barfuß was posted on many small political blogs and newspapers.

With the departure of the Bavarian FDP from the state parliament in 2013 , Barfuß lost his state parliament mandate. In 2017 he applied as a direct candidate for the FDP for the constituency Augsburg-Land, Dillingen for the state elections in autumn 2018. In the nomination event, however, he did not prevail against his competitor Claudia Stocker. He then announced that he would no longer run for the district council in 2020 and that he would no longer be a member of the Gundelfinger and Lauingen FDP local association.

Barfuß is a member of the Catholic student association K.St.V. Südmark Munich in the KV .
