education and profession

From 1995 to 1999 he completed his studies at the University of Applied Sciences in Erfurt and graduated as a qualified social worker / social pedagogue (FH). He completed postgraduate studies at the Erfurt University of Education / University of Erfurt in 2002 as a qualified teacher .

From 2002 to 2003 Bausewein worked as a social pedagogue at the vocational training facility in the Tonna correctional facility . He then worked as a qualification coordinator at the German Trade Union Confederation in Thuringia.

Political work and public office

In 1990 Bausewein joined the SPD. From 1995 to 2004 he was state chairman of the Thuringian Jusos . Since 1994 he was a member of the board of the Thuringian SPD. From 1998 to 2008 and from 2010 to 2014 he was deputy chairman of the state party. From 2004 to 2006 Bausewein was a member of the Thuringian state parliament .

In May 2006 Bausewein prevailed against Dietrich Hagemann ( CDU ) with 60.2% of the votes in the mayor elections in the runoff election with 30.9% voter turnout .

In the new election of the SPD state executive on June 7, 2008, Bausewein was not re-elected. The decisive factor for this was that in the internal struggle between the state chairman Christoph Matschie and his predecessor Richard Dewes for the latter and his position to form a coalition with the Left Party after the state elections in 2009 even if the SPD should not provide the prime minister, he party had seized. At the state party conference on March 6, 2010, Bausewein was elected for the second time with 57 percent yes-votes as one of the four deputy chairmen of the state party leader Matschie, with Bausewein achieving the worst result of the applicants for the deputy state chairmanship.

As Lord Mayor, he campaigned, among other things, for the demolition of the Nordbad entrance building , which was designated as a cultural monument , which was later decided by the city council and was controversial among the Erfurt population .

In the Mayor election on April 22, 2012 , Bausewein was confirmed in his office in the first ballot with 59.2% of the votes cast (voter turnout: 43.9%). His strongest rival candidate, Michael Panse (CDU), only achieved 14.9%.

After the state elections in Thuringia in 2014 , he succeeded Christoph Matschie as Thuringian state chairman of the SPD. At the state party conference in Erfurt on October 25, 2014, he received 89.7 percent of the vote without any opposing candidates.

In his role as Lord Mayor of Erfurt, Andreas Bausewein published an open letter to Chancellor Angela Merkel and Thuringia's Prime Minister Bodo Ramelow on the subject of asylum law in Germany on August 25, 2015 . His proposal to suspend compulsory schooling for children from families with pending asylum proceedings or unclear residence status caused a broad discussion in the national media . The proposal was also heavily criticized within the SPD.

In October 2017 Bausewein announced that he would not run as a top candidate for the 2019 state election in Thuringia. Instead, he suggested Georg Maier for this task. At the end of December 2017, he announced his resignation as state chairman.

In the course of the local elections in Thuringia in 2018 , Bausewein was again a candidate for the mayor of Erfurt and was able to defend his office. With 30.4% of the votes in the first ballot he qualified for the runoff election and won with 58.5% of the votes in the second ballot against the challenger Marion Walsmann from the CDU.
