Overview
- The 50-year-old former alpine star has joined the municipal council after the March 8 vote.
- She takes the seat as the first Nachrückerin because Franz Graßl, a CSU candidate ahead of her, did not accept his mandate.
- This is her first political post, and she says she will bring the same dedication to council work that defined her skiing career.
- In the initial count she missed automatic entry but outpolled a higher-listed CSU candidate, positioning her to move up when a vacancy opened.
- Gerg, widely known as “Wilde Hilde” and now using the name Graßl‑Hirschbiel, is an Olympic champion with 20 World Cup wins and multiple world medals.
