Andreas Bausewein (born 5 May 1973) is a German politician of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) who served as the mayor of Erfurt from 2006 until 2024. [1] [2]
After his schooling at the "Johannes Gutenberg" polytechnic high school in Erfurt, Bausewein completed an apprenticeship as an electrician from 1989 to 1993. He then obtained a university entrance qualification. After completing his community service with the Erfurt Workers' Samaritan Association, he worked for a year in the Thuringia SPD parliamentary group in 1995. From 1995 to 1999, he studied at the Erfurt University of Applied Sciences and graduated as a social worker/social pedagogue (FH). He completed a postgraduate course at the Erfurt University of Education/Erfurt University in 2002 as a qualified pedagogue. From 1996 to 2002, he was a scholarship holder of the Hans Böckler Foundation. [3]
From 2002 to 2003, Bausewein worked as a social pedagogue at the vocational training center in the Tonna correctional facility. He then worked as a qualification coordinator at the German Trade Union Confederation Thuringia.
In 1990 Bausewein joined the SPD. From 1995 to 2004 he was state chairman of the party's youth organization, the Young Socialists, in Thuringia. Since 1994 he was a member of the board of the Thuringian SPD. From 1998 to 2008 and again since 2010, he is Deputy Chairman of the State party. From 2004 until 2006 Bausewein was a member of the Landtag of Thuringia.
In May 2006, Bausewein won Erfurt’s mayoral election runoff against Dietrich Hagemann (CDU) with 60.2% of the vote (30.9% voter turnout).
During the vote for a new SPD State Executive Committee on 7 June 2008, Bausewein was not re-elected. The main reason for this was that he was involved in an internal party struggle between the current chairman Christoph Matschie and his predecessor Richard Dewes for the position of chairman. At the party convention on 6 March 2010, Bausewein was elected with 57 percent of votes in favour for the second time as one of the four vice-chairpersons of the state party. Bausewein scored the worst result of the candidates for the position of deputy national chairman. [4]
From 1995 until 2018, Bausewein was married to his wife Sysann. They have three children. [8]

Gerd Schuchardt is an electrical engineer who built his career and reputation in East Germany before 1990 in microprocessor technology and related forward-looking branches of science. He was interested in politics, but had avoided involvement in the country's ruling SED (party) or any of the various so-called "bloc parties" which it controlled. In January 1990, with the winds of political change - somewhat implausibly, as many still thought at the time - blowing across from the Kremlin in Moscow, the party leaders in East Berlin no longer felt able to stand against domestic pressures for a return to democratic politics after more than half a century of one-party dictatorship. Gerd Schuchardt became an activist member of the re-awakening Social Democratic Party. After reunification in October 1990 state-level democratic politics returned to Thuringia: Schuchardt became a leading figure in Thuringian state politics, selected by party members as the Social Democratic Party's lead candidate in the 1994 Thuringian state election. He led his party to what turned out to be its best electoral result in Thuringia to date. In the resulting "Grand coalition" government that ensued he served as vice-minister-president until 1999 under the leadership of Bernhard Vogel (CDU) and as Minister for the Sciences, Research and the Arts.
