In 1980 he entered the state parliament of Baden-Württemberg , to which he was a member until 2001. After the state elections in 1988, Prime Minister Lothar Späth brought him into his cabinet as State Secretary in the Ministry of Economics, Medium-Sized Enterprises and Technology . In 1989 he took over the office of Minister of Economics from Martin Herzog , which he initially continued under Prime Minister Erwin Teufel . Unscathed, he survived an affair in which he became involved in 1991. Schaufler was accused of having acted as the protector of a dodgy casino operator, which ultimately could not be proven.
