Political career

After graduating from high school, Spiegelberg was initially a member of the CDU and Young Union (JU). He was the local chairman of the JU Weißenfels and since 2014 district manager in the JU district executive Burgenlandkreis . In addition, Spiegelberg belonged to the CDU local executive committee in Weißenfels until he left.

In 2015, Spiegelberg switched to the AfD and its youth organization Junge Alternative .

From 2015 to the beginning of 2019 he was deputy district chairman of the AfD Burgenlandkreis and was temporarily deputy state chairman of the Junge Alternative Sachsen-Anhalt. For Fall / Winter 2015 he was nominated as a list and direct candidate of his party and moved in the state election in Saxony-Anhalt in 2016 with 31.8 percent of the primary vote in the constituency Weissenfels (constituency 43 - White Rock, Teuchern, Lutzen) via the direct mandate as at this time the youngest member of the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt .

In the state parliament he was initially a permanent member of the committee for labor, social affairs and integration as well as the 15th committee of inquiry. After some changes to the committee composition within the AfD parliamentary group, he has been a member of the Committee for Education and Culture since 2017. Spiegelberg is a deputy member of the Petitions Committee, the Committee on Labor, Social Affairs and Integration and the 15th Committee of Inquiry. Spiegelberg has been the secretary of the state parliament since 2016. His constituency office is at Langendorfer Strasse 27 in Weißenfels.

Since the previous district chairman André Poggenburg left the party in January 2019, Spiegelberg has been the new chairman of the AfD district association Burgenlandkreis and, in this role, supported the 2019 local election campaign in the Burgenland district. He himself ran for election and moved into the district council with 3832 votes and the council of Weißenfels with 2091 votes . With his wife Elisabeth and his mother Ramona, two other members of the Spiegelberg family also moved into the city ​​council of Weißenfels , where the AfD is now represented by a seven-member parliamentary group.

Positions on content and controversies

In the run-up to the state elections, Spiegelberg advertised on his election poster with the self-image “Young. Patriotic. Citizen-oriented. ”And classifies his political course as“ patriotic and social ”. He is a signatory of the Erfurt resolution and thus a member of the "wing" within the AfD, which locates itself as a nationally conservative , which includes Björn Höcke and the former state and district chairman of the Burgenland district André Poggenburg , who left the AfD at the beginning of 2019 and has his own Right party of the AfD founded.

On Facebook, Spiegelberg has been criticizing "the old left parties or their radical sympathizers" and the Evangelical Church as a "left-green organization" since 2016 .

The first major political incident in connection with Spiegelberg took place on November 9, 2016 at a commemorative event by the city of Weißenfels and the Simon Rau Center for the Reichspogromnacht , where Spiegelberg was expelled from the hall solely because of his party membership. Spiegelberg described this process as “bottomless cheek” and was outraged that he was accused of being “indirectly anti-Semitic ” with his expulsion . He himself said that he felt “ very close to the Jewish people as a Christian ” and that for him the Judeo-Christian West was “not a phrase”.

In December 2017, a small inquiry from Spiegelberg on the subject of organ donation caused outrage, in which he described Austria as a “German state”: “Here [in the regulation of organ donation] we should look at the successful approach of another German state and use ourselves as a role model take: that of Austria. ”This statement was heavily criticized by the other parliamentary groups and Spiegelberg and the AfD were generally accused of “ revisionism ”and“ great German supremacy ”. Spiegelberg himself defended his statement: “There is no connection from Austria on the AfD's agenda. [...] Austria is linguistically and historically closely linked to us. It is our number one brother state. "

In 2018, Spiegelberg spoke in the state parliament in the current debate on the cancellation of the concert by the band Feine Sahne Fischfilet by the Bauhaus in Saxony-Anhalt. He said that an appearance by Feine Sahne Fischfilet in the Bauhaus would have been "irresponsible and a scandal for all of Saxony-Anhalt". The punk band is a " left-wing extremist agitation band" that attracted attention with lyrics that glorified violence. In the past it was not without reason in the constitution protection report of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

In addition to regional issues, Spiegelberg's public statements, speeches and small inquiries to the state government often deal with a “re- population ” he feared , with the transfer of knowledge about ethnic repatriates , German refugees and displaced persons , with German East-West problems and with Claims to family and security. In autumn 2017 he also expressed a positive opinion in a small inquiry and in subsequent inquiries about a possible Central German state merger "Saxony-Thuringia".
