Descriptiontext

The CDU-Fraktion im Landtag von Sachsen-Anhalt is the parliamentary faction of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) in the state parliament (Landtag) of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, headquartered at Domplatz 6-9, Magdeburg. Founded after German reunification in 1990, the organization represents elected CDU members in the Landtag and currently operates in its 8th electoral period. It develops legislative positions, conducts parliamentary oversight of the state government, and structures its work through nine working groups (Arbeitsgruppen) covering all major policy areas including finance, education, infrastructure, interior affairs, law, science and energy, agriculture, economics, and social affairs. The faction participates in two major investigative bodies — the 21st Parliamentary Investigation Committee on the Magdeburg Christmas market attack and an Enquete-Kommission — and maintains working relationships with all nine state ministries plus the Staatskanzlei.

The organization's revenue model is government parliamentary funding allocated based on the number of elected representatives and their vote share, with no commercial product or service sales. Its go-to-market is direct political representation: elected members serve constituents through constituency offices throughout Saxony-Anhalt, coordinate with the CDU Landesverband and federal CDU/CSU party structure, and participate in the cross-state Fraktionsvorsitzendenkonferenz (875 union members across all CDU/CSU state groups). Communication with citizens runs through a content marketing stack including the official website (cdufraktion.de), YouTube channel, Facebook, Instagram (@cdufraktionlsa), email newsletter, press releases, video, and podcasts.

The core "product" is policy output rather than technology: secured budget initiatives include 85 million EUR annually for state road construction, 100 million EUR for fire department equipment, 50 million EUR for municipal investments, 14 million EUR for urban development, 5 million EUR for university medicine, and 2.5 million EUR for the Meistergründungsprämie (master craftsman founding bonus). Leadership consists of Fraktionsvorsitzender Guido Heuer (since 2022, succeeding Siegfried Borgwardt who served 2016-2022), two deputy chairs (Frank Bommersbach and Ulrich Thomas), and Parliamentary Manager Andreas Schumann. The faction's chairmanship of the 2026 Große Fraktionsvorsitzendenkonferenz demonstrates expanded convening power within the broader CDU/CSU parliamentary ecosystem.
