Since 1985 Althaus has been a member of the CDU, remaining with the party as it transformed itself from a loyal supporter of the GDR's ruling Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED) to a loyal supporter of the West German party of the same name with which it merged in 1990 shortly after German unification. In 2000 he became state chairman of the CDU in Thuringia. Since 1990 he has been a member of the Thuringian parliament (Landtag).
