After high school he performed for 16 months until 1985 civil service in nursing at St. Augustine Hospital in Düren-Lendersdorf . He then studied biology and social sciences at the University of Cologne without completing his degree.

politics

Nietan joined the SPD in 1981. From 1984 to 2010 he was a member of the district council of the Düren district . From 1990 to 1998 he was chairman of the Düren-Mitte local association and from 1998 chairman of the Düren sub-district. Since 2005 the chairman of the SPD region Middle Rhine. In the Bundestag elections in 1998 and 2002, he won the direct mandate of the constituency of Düren and moved into the Bundestag, of which he was a member until 2005. Nietan then worked until his return to the Bundestag in 2009 as a foreign policy advisor to Martin Schulz (MEP) and as a coordinator between the SPD parliamentary group and the EU parliamentary group.

The SPD in the Düren district nominated Nietan again as a direct candidate for the Düren district for the 2009 federal election , in which he missed the direct mandate, but managed to re-enter the Bundestag via the state list .

Since the beginning of 2010 Nietan has been rapporteur for the SPD parliamentary group on all questions of foreign and security policy in the European Union and is head of the Turkey coordination group of the SPD party executive. For the SPD, he was the rapporteur for the joint motion of the government groups (SPD, CDU / CSU ) for the debate in the Bundestag on April 24, 2015 to commemorate the genocide of the Armenians . The group leaders banished the term “genocide” from the application text in the justification. Nietan was disappointed, "that apparently at a crucial point there is a lack of courage to say what really happened". It is not helpful to bow to the pressure from Turkey and not to pronounce the word “genocide”. In addition, he is a member of the board of the state group of North Rhine-Westphalian SPD members of the Bundestag and belongs to the spokesperson for the parliamentary left in the SPD parliamentary group.

On March 16, 2013, the state delegates' conference of the SPD in North Rhine-Westphalia elected Nietan to fifth place on the state reserve list for the 2013 federal election. He received 99 percent of the votes cast.

In the 2013 federal election , Nietan received 34.24% of the vote and returned to the Bundestag via a list.

On January 26, 2014, Nietan was elected federal treasurer of the SPD with 84.3%. He thus succeeded Barbara Hendricks , who had previously been appointed Federal Minister.

In the 2017 federal election , he achieved 32% and again a place on the list.

Nietan is a member of the non-partisan European Union Germany , which advocates a federal Europe and the European unification process.
