In 2013 he left the Social Democrats and switched to the community of voters Together for Lünen (GFL).

Trivia

He became known throughout Germany through a (possible) indiscretion from the Lüner administration, in which the press launched a handwritten note from him in which he refused to pay a ticket for ten euros as a former councilor because of illegal parking. He noted in writing u. a .: “I won't pay!” His reason for this was that in the past, many councilors had been exempted from paying the ticket despite constant illegal parking and a request to pay a “small ticket”. His principle: equal rights for all.
