Kutzmutz was a sustaining member of the Left Party / WASG-affiliated youth association ['solid] . From June 29, 2003 to October 2005 he was federal manager of the PDS.

In the federal elections in 2005 and 2009 he was defeated as a direct candidate to the SPD candidate Andrea Wicklein .

Unofficial employee of the State Security

From December 1971 to July 1973, Kutzmutz worked under the code name Rudolf as an unofficial employee of the Ministry for State Security. He had signed his declaration of commitment on December 9, 1971. The district administration (BV) Potsdam of the Ministry for State Security, Department II , kept a file to Rolf Kutzmutz under the registration number IV / 806/71, which consisted of two parts. Part I, the so-called personnel file , was kept in the period from September 2, 1971 to August 8, 1974. It contains 93 pages written on. Part II, the so-called work file with 42 written pages, began on January 17, 1972 and also ended on August 8, 1974. Both parts were archived under the number 1460/74. The Federal Commissioner submitted copies of these files to the 1st Committee, largely in full, ie some of them blacked out.

Kutzmutz delivered three reports with general information to the MfS. This saw the collaboration with him as hopeless and ended it without informing him about it. When his collaboration became known in 1993, he publicly displayed a copy of his file in the town hall. He said that at the time he “actually found the suppression mechanisms to be not that bad”.

Private

Kutzmutz is married and has two sons and a daughter. Since February 27, 2015 he has been President of the 1st FFC Turbine Potsdam .
