Joachim Weixlbaumer was born on October 28, 1967 as the son of Fritz and Marlies Weixlbaumer in Bludenz. He attended primary and secondary school in Bludenz and then graduated from the Bludenz Commercial Academy , where he graduated from high school in 1988 . He then did his military service in Salzburg and began studying economics and human medicine at the University of Vienna , which he did not complete.

From 1997 Weixlbaumer worked in various positions at several companies in Vienna before he was appointed deputy state parliamentary club director of the FPÖ Vorarlberg in 2000 .

Political career

Joachim Weixlbaumer first became politically active from 2000 to 2005 as a substitute member of the city ​​council in his home town of Bludenz . Weixlbaumer has been a full member of the Bludenz city council since the municipal council election in 2005 and a member of the city council since May 2015. In November 2004 he took over the local party leadership of the FPÖ Bludenz, and since 2006 he has also been deputy district chairman of the FPÖ in the Bludenz district . In 2012 he became a member of the Vorarlberg Freedom Party executive committee .

In the state elections in Vorarlberg in 2014 , Joachim Weixlbaumer ran in the Bludenz constituency in second place on the list behind party leader Dieter Egger and was therefore able to move into the Vorarlberg state parliament for the first time through the basic mandate of the Freedom Party in the Bludenz constituency. On October 15, 2014 Weixlbaumer was sworn in for the first time as a member of the Vorarlberg state parliament. In the Landtag, he subsequently held the position of area spokesman for the FPÖ Landtag Club for the topics of housing, energy, hunting and forestry. In addition, he continued to work professionally as the deputy club director of the liberal state parliament club.

After the state elections in 2019 , in which the FPÖ suffered heavy losses, Joachim Weixlbaumer, in second place behind top candidate Christof Bitschi, was no longer able to achieve a mandate in the Bludenz electoral district and thus resigned as a member of parliament with the inauguration of the new Vorarlberg state parliament on November 6, 2019. In the 2020 city council and mayoral election in Bludenz, Weixlbaumer will again run as a top and mayoral candidate for the FPÖ.
