Religious institution - City council member now held by a pastor for the AfD.
In April, the Evangelical Church in Middle Germany put in motion disciplinary actions against Michaelis, who was running as an Independent candidate on the AfD list. Consequently, the pastor was banned from making any public proclamations and administering sacraments, including baptisms and communions. The church expected Michaelis, as a pastor, to oppose extreme right-wing views, as announced during that time.
