politics

Rainer-Michael Lehmann was a member of the LDPD from 1987 until it merged with the FDP in 1990 . From 1988 to 1989 he was group chairman of the LDPD and co-founder of the Young Liberal Action East Berlin. From 1994 to 2010 Lehmann was a member of the state board of the Berlin FDP. From 1990 to 1992 he was a member of the Prenzlauer Berg district council. In 2001 Rainer-Michael Lehmann ran for the FDP Pankow for the Berlin House of Representatives and has been its member since November 2001. From then until 2010 Rainer-Michael Lehmann was deputy chairman of the FDP parliamentary group and spokesman for labor, social affairs, integration, women and senior citizens. In the 2006 election, Lehmann again moved into the House of Representatives for the FDP Pankow. In the Berlin state elections in 2006, the FDP held its own with 7.6%. Rainer-Michael Lehmann was elected from the Pankow district list with 4.0% of the second vote (2001: 5.1%).

On March 8, 2010, Lehmann announced his resignation from the FDP, on March 23, 2010 he joined the SPD parliamentary group in the Berlin House of Representatives. As a reason for leaving the FDP, he gave the “increasing social coldness” in the party. For the 2011 parliamentary elections he was nominated by the SPD as a direct candidate in the constituency Pankow 1 and in ninth place on the Pankow district list.

In January 2012, an investigation by the judiciary against Lehmann on suspicion of fraud and forgery of documents became known. In early November 2011, a bank filed a criminal complaint against Lehmann. Rainer-Michael Lehmann was accused of having opened an online account with this bank at the beginning of April 2011 with false information about his income situation, with the intention of exhausting the overdraft facility of EUR 15,000 without paying the interest due. Lehmann affirmed his innocence. At the beginning of an SPD parliamentary group meeting in December 2012, Lehmann made a personal statement in which he announced that he would rest his mandate until the allegations were clarified and that he would voluntarily leave the parliamentary group should he be charged. Subsequently, in November 2012, he resigned from his position as an assessor in the Presidium of the House of Representatives and left his post as integration policy spokesman for the parliamentary group. The Legal Committee of the House of Representatives lifted Lehmann's immunity in December 2012 . In February 2013 it became known that the public prosecutor's office had brought charges against Lehmann on suspicion of fraud and forgery of documents. The parliamentary manager of the SPD parliamentary group in the Berlin House of Representatives, Torsten Schneider , declared that as long as Lehmann had not been convicted, he could remain a member of the parliamentary group. After rumors that Lehmann did not have his main residence in Berlin, but in Brandenburg, which would result in the loss of his mandate according to the state election law, a spokesman for the parliamentary administration announced after an examination that Lehmann had a "legally correct address" in Berlin. The SPD French Buchholz department , of which Lehmann belongs, expressed its distrust and asked him to resign from his mandate. The reason for this is not only the indictment, according to the SPD department chairman Claus Foerster, but the lack of "reliable and trusting cooperation". In December 2013 it became known that the Tiergarten District Court had not admitted the indictment against Rainer-Michael Lehmann to the main hearing . The Berlin public prosecutor's office lodged a complaint against this decision to not open the interim proceedings, which was rejected in the second instance. According to a statement by a court spokesman, the district court justified the failure to open the main proceedings by stating that Lehmann's conviction could not have been expected, since Lehmann's statement that the false information provided by a co-accused was made without Lehmann's knowledge. However, the charges against the co-accused were admitted. From the perspective of the SPD parliamentary group in the Berlin House of Representatives, Rainer-Michael Lehmann was "completely rehabilitated". The Pankow SPD district chairman Alexander Götz welcomed the outcome of the proceedings in a letter to the party members and described the reasons that triggered the public prosecutor's investigation as "false accusations and defamation".

In the election for the Berlin House of Representatives in 2016 , Lehmann lost his direct mandate to AfD politician Christian Buchholz .
