Andreas Bausewein (born 5 May 1973) is a German politician of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) who serves as mayor of Erfurt.^[1]^[2]

Political career

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.^[3]
