After the state elections in Hesse in 1999 , Herlind Gundelach was appointed State Secretary in the Hessian Ministry for Environment, Agriculture and Forests . In 2004 Gundelach changed as State Councilor in the Ministry of Urban Development and Environment in Hamburg. During the construction of the coal-fired power station in Moorburg , she suggested the construction of a second power station unit after the energy company Vattenfall initially only wanted to build one. From May 7, 2008, Gundelach was Senator for Science and Research and thus President (Head of Department) of the Authority for Science and Research in Hamburg ( Senate von Beust III , from August 25, 2010 Senate Ahlhaus ).

After the break of the black-green state government, Christoph Ahlhaus's GAL senators were dismissed from their offices on November 29, 2010. Previously, Finance Senator Carsten Frigge (CDU) had resigned in connection with the party donation affair of the Rhineland-Palatinate CDU. On November 30, 2010, the remaining members of the Senate decided on a new division of responsibilities for the period up to the state elections in February 2011 . Gundelach took over the functions as President of the tax authorities and as President of the authority for urban development and the environment. After the constitution of the newly elected citizens and the election of Olaf Scholz ( SPD ), Gundelach resigned from her senatorial offices on March 7, 2011.

MPs

In the 2013 federal election , she entered the Bundestag via the Hamburg state list . She was also a direct candidate in the Bergedorf – Harburg constituency , but received fewer votes than Metin Hakverdi from the SPD .

Gundelach was a full member of the Committee on Economics and Energy. She was also deputy chair of the committee on culture and the media and deputy member of the committee on the environment, nature conservation, building and nuclear safety and deputy member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.

In December 2016, Gundelach lost a campaign candidate for third place on the Christian Democratic state list for the 2017 federal election against former member of parliament Christoph de Vries . Gundelach was voted fifth on the list. The list caused criticism from the women's union because the CDU federal statute stipulates that at least one of the first three places goes to a woman. Gundelach lost 28.1% of the first votes to the SPD direct candidate Metin Hakverdi in the Hamburg-Bergedorf - Harburg constituency . While de Vries is third in the state list and is a member of the German Bundestag in the 19th electoral term , Gundelach did not receive a mandate in fifth place, but is the first to succeed in the event that a Hamburg CDU mandate holder leaves the Bundestag.
