Andreas Scheuer has resigned from his Bundestag mandate - and apparently exchanged it for a career in business. The former transport minister has set up his own business. This was the result of research by the news portal “Business Insider”. The hand register documents show that Scheuer founded two companies a few weeks ago. The company foundations indicate that Scheuer will work as a management consultant in the future.

The new companies are Positanis Holding and Tancredis GmbH. According to "Business Insider", the purpose of Positanis Holding is "to hold company investments in one's own name, for one's own account and not as a service for third parties" and to "manage one's own and third-party assets".

The holding company therefore appears to manage the couple's private assets, which include company investments. One of these investments relates to the second company founded by Scheuer. Tancredis GmbH is intended to guarantee the “provision of management consulting services and related services”. Scheuer is listed as managing director of both companies.

It seems as if Scheuer wants to contribute his expertise and connections as a former transport minister in relevant industries. The logistics company Mosolf Group had already announced in October that Scheuer would become a member of the advisory board. Just one day after Scheuer left the Bundestag, the company released an official announcement. Mosolf is an important service provider in the automotive industry.

The logistics company also praises the CSU politician's experience: "The appointment of Andreas Scheuer strengthens our strategic orientation, especially with regard to the development and development of the Asia-Pacific market," says CEO Jörg Mosolf.

Criticism from within our own ranks

As a minister, Scheuer was heavily criticized for the failed car toll - even in his own party, he was subsequently seen as a burden. In 2019, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) stopped the car toll as illegal. At that time Scheuer was Minister of Transport. As a result, the federal government had to pay 243 million euros in damages to the intended operators.

Scheuer initially left an inquiry about his newly founded companies unanswered.
