Life

Pfeiffer grew up in the Aidlinger district Deufringen . After completing his Abitur in 1991 at the Otto Hahn Gymnasium in Böblingen, Harald Pfeiffer studied until 1994 at the professional association academy for occupational safety and administration in Hennef (Sieg) . From 1991 until the acceptance of his state parliament mandate he was employed by the professional association for the construction industry (BG BAU), interrupted in 1996 by his community service , most recently in the position of social security officer.

There he had been a member of the local staff council since 1994. He was also a member of the General Staff Council since 2006.

Pfeiffer joined the YMCA in 1999 and was one of the founders of the Free Evangelical School Böblingen e. V.

politics

Until the end of 2012 Pfeiffer was a member of the Christian Democratic Union of Germany (CDU) and there a member of the state and district board of the Protestant working group. In 2012 he was a member of the 2013 alternative and joined the Alternative for Germany (AfD) in early 2013. He is a founding member of the Böblingen district association of the AfD, was its deputy spokesman until 2017 and has been the district association's spokesman since November 2017. In the state elections in 2016 , he was set up as a replacement candidate for the AfD in the Böblingen state electoral district . After the former group leader of the AfD in the state parliament Jörg Meuthen moved to the European Parliament at the end of 2017 and his substitute candidate Jürgen Braun had already sat in the Bundestag since September 2017 and renounced the state parliament mandate, the direct candidate of the state electoral district of Böblingen, Markus Widenmeyer , took over on January 1, 2018 Mandate in the state parliament, but resigned it on January 23 of the same year. On February 2, Harald Pfeiffer took over the mandate in the state parliament. The Stuttgarter Zeitung accused Pfeiffer and the AfD Klüngelei : Already towards the end of December, he should have openly told his friends that he was going to be a member of the state parliament before Widenmeyer had even taken up his mandate. Due to the better election result, the mandate fell to the constituency of Böblingen. After Widenmeyer renounced the mandate, the mandate fell to his substitute candidate Harald Pfeiffer. This was confirmed by the regional election committee.

In November 2019, he and Stefan Herre left the AfD parliamentary group and the party because, according to his own statement, he could no longer pursue his “liberal-conservative values” there. He retained his mandate in the state parliament.

Political positions

In the AfD parliamentary group, like his predecessor Markus Widenmeyer , together with other moderate MPs , Pfeiffer repeatedly spoke out against the re- admission of the anti-Semite Wolfgang Gedeon to the AfD parliamentary group and for his exclusion from the party.
