In 2002 he was elected to the Bundestag and sat until 2013 as a directly elected member of the Mülheim - Essen I constituency. In the 2005 Bundestag election he achieved 52.6% of the first votes , and in the 2009 Bundestag election 41.4%.

In October 2007 he was elected to the enlarged parliamentary committee. In the 2013 federal election he did not run in favor of his wife, because in 2011 she had become mayor for social affairs in Pforzheim near her former home and he and his family had moved there.

In 2016, Schaaf ran for the state parliament of Baden-Württemberg in the constituency of Bretten , which includes parts of the district of Karlsruhe , but , in view of the historically poor performance of the SPD in the state elections , only achieved 12.1% of the votes behind the candidates from the Greens, CDU and AfD which was not enough for a second mandate in the constituency. From 2016 to 2018 he was district chairman of the SPD Karlsruhe-Land until he moved to Wolfsburg because his wife became city councilor for social affairs there.

Schaaf died on November 2, 2020 at the age of 58.
