From 1982 to 1988 he studied law at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz and the University of Trier.

Political positions

[edit]

Crumbach ruled out a coalition with the AfD, but wants to deal with AfD applications “like all other applications”.[3] He rejects strict non-cooperation ("firewall") with the right-wing radicals in parliament. According to his argument, the AfD would benefit from this.[4]
