Party career and participation in elections

Stefan Köster is based in Pätow in western Mecklenburg and has been the press spokesman for the NPD state association Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania for several years . After the death of the NPD lawyer and state chairman Hans Günter Eisenecker on November 29, 2003, Köster took over the management of the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania state association at the beginning of 2004 and was promoted to the party's federal executive board as federal managing director. Since the local elections in June 2004 he has been a member of the Ludwigslust district assembly for the NPD, together with Klaus Bärthel . In the year and a half of parliamentary work up to the beginning of 2006, together they only submitted a single substantive motion to the district council, in the first session after the local elections.

For the 2005 Bundestag election , Köster ran for the NPD as a direct candidate in the Schwerin-Ludwigslust constituency and gained 8.6 percent of the vote. Due to an ongoing investigation into serious bodily harm , he initially waived the top candidacy for the 2006 state elections in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . However, since the German People's Union (DVU) waived the places that were guaranteed to it because of the election agreements, he still ran, entered the fourth place on the list and entered the state parliament of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania on September 17, 2006. On September 4, 2011 , Köster succeeded in returning to the state parliament at number 4 with the NPD. In the following state election in September 2016 , his party failed to make it into the state parliament of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Ingo Stawitz and the two co-defendants were sentenced in 2007 by the Itzehoe Regional Court for collective dangerous bodily harm to fines amounting to 90 daily rates each. After Köster had confessed to the act on appeal and the defense had reduced their legal remedy against the conviction to the sentence, this in return was limited to 90 daily rates and Köster was sentenced to pay 5,400 euros for collective dangerous bodily harm.
