Between 2001 and 2009, Schröder worked as a lawyer with law firm White & Case in Hamburg.
Schröder first became a member of the Bundestag following the 2002 federal elections. Between 2002 and 2009, he served as a member of the Committee for the Scrutiny of Elections, Immunity and the Rules of Procedure. A member of the Budget Committee between 2005 and 2009, he served as the CDU/CSU parliamentary group's rapporteur on the budgets of the Federal Ministry of Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth (BMFSFJ) and the Federal Ministry of Justice (BMJ). During that time, he was also the Deputy Chairman of the Parliamentary Friendship Group for Relations with the States of the Southern Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia). From 2007, Schröder led the Bundestag group of CDU parliamentarians from Schleswig-Holstein.
From 2009, Schröder served as Parliamentary State Secretary in the German Federal Ministry of the Interior under ministers Thomas de Maizière (2009-2011, 2013-2018) and Hans-Peter Friedrich (2011–2013) in the second and third cabinets of Chancellor Angela Merkel. In this capacity, he is in charge of information technology and sport.[1]
In the negotiations to form a Grand Coalition of the Christian Democrats (CDU together with the Bavarian CSU) and the Social Democrats (SPD) following the 2013 federal elections, Schröder was part of the CDU/CSU delegation in the working group on internal and legal affairs, led by Hans-Peter Friedrich and Thomas Oppermann.
Following a similar decision of his wife, Schröder announced in June 2016 that he would not stand in the 2017 federal elections but instead resign from active politics by the end of the parliamentary term.[2]
