politics

Rolf Seidel was independent until February 1990. After reunification he became a member of the CDU. From 1990 to 1994 he was community representative and deputy mayor in Baalsdorf and district councilor and chairman of the CDU parliamentary group in the Leipzig district assembly .

From October 1994 to November 25, 2005 he was a directly elected member of the Saxon State Parliament for the Leipzig 7 constituency . Due to a ruling by the Constitutional Court of Saxony , he lost his mandate again. The redial had become necessary because the constituency candidate registration of the PDS was not done correctly. The legal dispute was noticed beyond the experts, as it resulted from the new election an electoral curiosity. With Seidel's departure, an overhang mandate for the CDU and the two compensatory mandates (for PDS and SPD ) would have ceased to exist without a new election . From the point of view of the CDU, it would have been tactically wise to refrain from standing in the by-election in order to take two seats from the opposition and even make a black-and-yellow majority possible (61 of 121 instead of 62 of 124 seats). The CDU decided to run in the constituency. As expected, Seidel won the by-election with a slight percentage gain (but lost votes).

After the new election on January 22, 2006, he was again a member of the state parliament. In the state parliament he was chairman of the home affairs committee and deputy chairman of the working groups home affairs and school and sport from 2001 to 2004. In 2009 Seidel won the direct mandate again and was again chairman of the interior committee.

In the 2014 election , Seidel did not run again and thus left the state parliament.

Other offices

Rolf Seidel was deputy chairman of the state advisory board for adult education of the Saxon State Ministry for Culture. He is president of the Anglerverband Leipzig and vice-president of the state association of Saxon anglers.
