About Me
Michael Linnerer — member of Raubling town council (CSU)
My wife, our two daughters and I have lived happily in Pfraundorf for 12 years. Thanks to my mother’s roots I feel closely connected to Raubling — this is my home, and this is where I want to help shape things.
My approach
As an IT manager I am used to structuring complex topics, preparing decisions and putting solutions into practice. What holds true in a company holds true on the town council too: transparency, clear communication and consistent action. Local politics must not happen over people’s heads — I rely on dialogue and cooperation.
Committee work
As a council member I am active in the following committees:
Building Committee — Here I bring in my perspective on infrastructure, planning and future-proof development.
Youth and Social Affairs Committee — Families, senior citizens and social participation matter to me. A strong community begins with making sure no one is left behind.
Professional background
IT Manager | OELCHECK GmbH, Brannenburg (since May 2020)
OELCHECK is the world market leader in lubricant analysis — a family-run business with international reach, right here in our region. I lead a 10-person IT team there and am responsible for IT strategy, digitalisation, IT security and the use of AI technologies.
Before that I worked for more than 9 years as a senior consultant and project manager at UCPST GmbH — mainly in the automotive environment of the VW Group. From 2007 to 2010 I held entrepreneurial responsibility as founder and managing director of RF-Embedded GmbH.
Education
Graduate computer scientist (Dipl.-Inf., FH), Rosenheim University of Applied Sciences (2002–2006)
Apprenticeship as a communications electronics technician / radio technology, Kathrein Werke KG (1995–1999)
Certifications
IT-Grundschutz Practitioner (BSI, 2023) · Professional Scrum Master I (Scrum.org, 2019) · Train-the-Trainer AdA (IHK, 2020)
Digitalisation does not stop at the town hall. I know the opportunities and the risks from everyday business life — and I want to use that knowledge for Raubling: in digital administration, in IT security, and on the question of how AI can be used sensibly.
Voluntary commitment
Local Chairman, CSU Raubling (since 2025)
Political responsibility for the CSU local branch in Raubling — helping shape local party work and candidate nominations.

Initial advice and immediate IT assistance during IT security incidents in the BSI Cyber Security Network.
Member of ROSIK e.V. (since September 2023)

Board member, Montessori support association Rosenheim / Rohrdorf e.V. (2021–2024)
Voluntary board work for the support association of the Montessori school in the Rosenheim region.
Board member, Rosenheim Alliance Against the Right e.V. (2019–2024)
Civil-society commitment against extremism and for an open, democratic society.
Mayoral candidate 2026
In the local elections on 8 March 2026 I stood as the mayoral candidate for Raubling. Even though it was not enough for the mayor’s office — my commitment to Raubling has remained. As a member of the CSU council group and local chairman of the CSU in Raubling, I am now actively helping to shape things.
Personal
My family and I are rooted in Raubling. My honey bees are part of that too — every day they remind me how important a good sense of togetherness is.
