Biography

Schaal graduated from the Bischöfliches Cusanus-Gymnasium  [ de ] in Koblenz in 2009. He studied economics at the University of Mannheim until 2012 and subsequently law at Humboldt University of Berlin from 2013, completing his first state examination in 2018. [1] From 2019 to 2021, he completed his legal traineeship at the Brandenburg Higher Regional Court. [1]

From 2012 to 2016, Schaal was a research assistant in the German Bundestag, from 2019 to 2020 a research assistant in an international law firm, and from 2022 to March 2023 personal advisor to Friedrich Merz as chairman of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group in the German Bundestag. [2]

Political career

Schaal was elected to the board of the CDU local branch Brandenburg Gate in 2016. Since 2017, he has been chairman of the Young Union Berlin-Mitte. In 2019, he became a member of the CDU Berlin  [ de ] state board. He is also an assessor on the board of the SME and Economic Union  [ de ] in Berlin-Mitte. [3]

After being unsuccessful in the 2021 Berlin state election, Schaal won the direct mandate in the Mitte 2  [ de ] constituency in the 2023 repeat election with 24.9% of the first-preference votes. [4] He thus succeeded Max Landero. [5]

Positions

Regarding Berlin's transport senator Bettina Jarasch's plans to close Friedrichstraße to car traffic, Schaal said: "This feels like a bad joke. They talk about a piazza and then they just put plywood furniture in the street. There's no overall concept at all." [6]
