politics

In 1968 he joined the CDU and was chairman of the CDU city association, district chairman of the CDU and a member of the CDU district executive. He was chairman of the CDU district parliamentary group in Birkenfeld and a member of the Idar-Oberstein city council. Between 1977 and 1987 he was mayor and general representative of the mayor of Idar-Oberstein and was then mayor of Idar-Oberstein from 2001 to 2007.

When his term of office was to be terminated early because Machwirth had reached the age limit for civil servants, although his function as Lord Mayor would have provided for a longer term of office, Machwirth sued the State Constitutional Court of Rhineland-Palatinate on charges of age discrimination. The case caused a sensation nationwide and other federal states also orientated themselves on the result of the process.

In 1991 he ran for the twelfth state parliament of Rhineland-Palatinate . On November 9, 1994, he replaced Franz Peter Basten in the state parliament, to which he was a member until the end of the 1996 election period. In the state parliament he was a member of the committee for the environment and forests.

He was also a member of the DAG .
