Laudenbach denies that he knowingly committed himself as an IM, but did not rule out the possibility of being "skimmed off" as a source without his knowledge as part of his work at the Interhotel.

He has been working as a restaurateur in Thuringia since 1990. In November 2015 he became a member of the AfD. In the local elections in Thuringia in 2018 , he was nominated by his party as a candidate for the office of Mayor of Gera and made it into the second ballot, where he was defeated by the non-party Julian Vonarb . In the state elections in Thuringia in 2019 , he succeeded in entering the state parliament via the state list of the AfD.

Laudenbach has lived in Gera since 1967 and is married.
