In 2004, Gögele was elected to the Vorarlberg Landtag in the Vorarlberg state elections of 2004.

After resigning due to illness, in the governance of Landesstatthalter Hans-Peter Bischof and Markus Wallner in the state government, Gögele was, on 13 December 2006, his successor as club chairman of the ÖVP faction in the parliament.

Education and civil life[]

Gögele studied to become a teacher in Latin and religion with a Magister degree, but acquired a doctorate, and due to its pragmatism, he has also acquired the title of professor. Gögele was, until his election to the club chairman, a secondary school teacher for Latin, and previously for Catholic religion at a school in Feldkirch. He was not allowed to teach the latter because of an internal regulation of the Diocese of Feldkirch, since he was a deputy of the Landtag. Following his election as chairman of the ÖVP Club in parliament, he gave up his teaching profession for lack of time. After leaving politics, he took the job as a teacher of Latin and religion again at BORG Dornbirn-Schoren.[3]

Rainer Gögele is married, has two children and lives in Mäder.
