At the young age of 43, Karoline Edtstadler has had a stellar career. As a graduate of the Musisches Gymnasium and after completing her law degree, the Elixhausen native's path has taken her from judge and senior public prosecutor to Minister for the Constitution and the EU. Now it's back to Salzburg: to the top of the country.

Karoline Edtstadler's path to the top was mapped out early on. The daughter of former state parliament director Karl Edtstadler graduated from the Musisches Gymnasium in Salzburg in 1999. One year later, in 2000, she became the mother of her only son to date, Leonhard.
