With the formation of the SDP, from January 1990 SPD district associations in the GDR, Bischoff was elected chairman of the SPD district association Cottbus. This led to the fact that he stood before the then SPD minister of the Modrow government , Walter Romberg , on list number one in the constituency of Cottbus for the Volkskammer elections on March 18, 1990. Since the SPD was able to win 3 seats in this constituency, Bischoff moved into the last GDR parliament as a member. Nothing is known about further party offices after his membership in parliament.
