Federal election 2025: AfD successes and CSU remains at the top!
The federal elections in Rohrbach from 2017 to 2025 reflect significant changes in voter behavior. In the 2025 election, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) achieved its strongest result at 22%, recording a notable increase of 12 percentage points compared to 2021. However, the Christian Social Union (CSU) remains the strongest political force with a vote share of 36.7%, an increase of 5.6 percentage points. This emerges from the official results of the federal elections, which clearly document the developments of the last few years, according to [merkur.de](https://www.merkur.de/bayern/ingolstadt/bundestagswahl-waehler Behavior-in-rohrbach-von-2017-bis-2025-im-wandel-93764531.html).
In 2021, both the CSU and the AfD suffered declines in vote shares; the CSU fell by 8.3 percentage points to 31.1%, while the AfD fell by 3.6 percentage points to 10%. Nevertheless, the recent election revealed that the declines were not permanent. The Free Voters recorded an increase of 2.9 percentage points in 2025, while the SPD fell by 4 percentage points to just 10.3%. Voter turnout was also encouraging, increasing from 83.9% in 2021 to 87% in 2025.
Voter behavior and political shifts
The significant changes in voter behavior cannot be viewed in isolation. Overall, the AfD's vote shares have increased by 8.3 percentage points since the 2017 federal election, while the CSU has lost a total of 2.7 percentage points. The AfD has thus established itself as a serious political force that is increasingly appealing to the electorate in Rohrbach. At the same time, the Free Voters and the Greens recorded slight gains, while the FDP experienced a shrinking process. Their vote shares fell by 6.5 percentage points since 2017, and in 2025 they achieved only 4.3%. These developments are closely linked to the political mood in the country, which is comprehensively documented in Statista.
Analysis of the AfD's vote shares over the years shows that the party has steadily gained support in recent elections. Between 2021 and 2025 in particular, the AfD achieved an increase of 12 percentage points, reinforcing the trend that it is increasingly perceived as a successful alternative for many voters. This could be explained by increased social issues and increased grassroots mobilization.
In summary, the election developments in Rohrbach illustrate a fundamental shift in the political landscape that has interesting implications both locally and nationally.
