In this function, on September 30, 2016, he and other Union politicians presented a “call for a guiding and framework culture”. The controversial term “ Leitkultur ” is referred to as a “connecting framework culture”. In socially troubled times, people needed orientation, which they would find in terms such as “ home and patriotism ” as well as in the “leading culture”. The use of the German language, tried and tested manners, the spiritual tradition of the Enlightenment and Germany's national symbols such as the flag and the anthem were specifically mentioned. The appeal was motivated, among other things, by the success of the right-wing populist party Alternative for Germany in the state elections in 2016.
