New name for the minister
The wedding also marks another step: Plakolm has taken her husband Christoph Bauer's surname. From Monday, she will officially be known as Claudia Bauer. According to her friends and family, a church wedding is planned for a later date.

The minister had already made her relationship with her now newlywed husband public in 2024. The Upper Austrian is active in local politics as a mayor, is a professional firefighter, grew up on a farm in the Mühlviertel region, and is considered down-to-earth.

Saying "I do" has marked the beginning of a new chapter in the life of the ÖVP's rising star. Whether and when her private happiness will continue to grow, however, will remain a secret for the time being.
