Frank Steffel

Frank Steffel (born March 2, 1966 in West Berlin) is a German politician of the Christian Democratic Party (CDU).

Steffel has been a member of the CDU since 1983. He was a member of the state parliament in Berlin from 1991 to 2009. In the Berlin state elections of 2001 he was the CDU's candidate for the position as Governing Mayor of Berlin. His election campaign was considered unfortunate. For instance he described Munich as Germany's "most beautiful city" and as its "secret capital". Although his party suffered enormous losses at the elections under his leadership, Steffel remained chairman of the CDU group in the state parliament until 2003. He has also been chairman of the CDU in Berlin-Reinickendorf since 2001 and member of the Bundestag since 2009.
