Political positions

Stuttgart 21

In the debate about the Stuttgart 21 rail project , Stickelberger said he was “very skeptical about the project”. He justified this with the threatened neglect of the Upper Rhine route as well as bad experiences with the cooperation with the Deutsche Bahn during his time as mayor. He was the only SPD minister to vote in favor of the draft law, which, due to its planned failure in the state parliament, led to a referendum .

Data retention

Stickelberger is a proponent of data retention . After the Federal Constitutional Court had rejected the original regulation, it demanded in March 2013 that data retention should be implemented quickly “to protect children on the Internet”. As an example, he cited pedophile adults who date children on the Internet. In this context he stated: “We have to intervene in the network and increase the risk of detection for every potential perpetrator. Nobody can be sure that he will not be discovered ”. He was of the opinion that the absolute freedom of the internet would thus find a restriction, but the authorities would need this directive so that they would have greater access to criminal law.
This was criticized in the specialist media.

Big coalition

In the run-up to the SPD's membership decision on the question of forming a government in 2018 with the CDU / CSU, Rainer Stickelberger speaks out against such a coalition. He fears a loss of credibility for the party, which cannot be offset by considerable negotiating successes.
