Stoiber was born in Oberaudorf in the district of Rosenheim. Prior to entering politics in 1974 and serving in the Bavarian parliament, he was a lawyer and worked at the University of Regensburg. In 1978 he was elected secretary general of the CSU, a post he held until 1982/83. From 1982 to 1986 he served as deputy to the Bavarian secretary of state and then as minister of state from 1982 to 1986. Like many from southern Germany, he is Catholic; however, religion does not play a defining role in his politics. In 2002, he challenged Gerhard Schr?der for the Chancellorship of Germany.

Stoiber's conservative views and controversial remarks have made him a polarizing figure in German politics; most Germans are either fond of his politics or disdain them. Some have compared Stoiber to Oskar Lafontaine; both are close to the fringes of the German political mainstream, but come from opposite ends of the political spectrum.
