Life and work

In 1984 Mahlberg graduated from the Steinbart-Gymnasium in Duisburg- Stadtmitte. He then completed an apprenticeship as a wholesale and foreign trade clerk in the steel trading company Klöckner & Co until 1986 , where he was authorized representative from 1991 . On January 1, 1996, he moved to Kemira Chemie GmbH in Hanau as an authorized signatory and, in 2004, to the company headquarters in Hanover ; after the takeover in January 2008, this company will operate as Yara GmbH & Co. KG, based in Dülmen . The employment contract ran until November 30, 2013.

Political party

In 1985 Mahlberg joined the CDU. From 1989 to 1995 he was chairman of the Junge Union Duisburg and during this time also a member of the board of the CDU Duisburg. In 1999 he was elected chairman of the CDU Duisburg.

In autumn 2010 allegations were made against the CDU Duisburg, whose chairman Mahlberg was at that time, because of the allocation of new members to the local associations. In January 2011 the Federal Party Court criticized the allocation practice, but then confirmed the procedure of the district association in the allocation to the local associations in October 2013 after a review of all members.

Public offices

From 1989 to 1991 he was a competent citizen in the environmental committee of the city of Duisburg. Then he was a member of the Duisburg-Süd district council until 1994 , where he was deputy parliamentary group leader of the CDU. In June 1995 he moved to the North Rhine-Westphalian state parliament , where he was the family and youth policy spokesman for his group. He was re-elected once until he left parliament after the state elections in May 2005 . In 2004 he was a member of the Federal Assembly which Horst Köhler elected as Federal President.

From October 2008 to October 2009, Thomas Mahlberg was a member of the German Bundestag as a replacement for the resigned MP Hildegard Müller . There he was a full member of the Committee for Family, Seniors, Women and Youth and a deputy member of the Committees for Education, Research and Technology Assessment and Petitions . In the 2013 federal election he ran in the constituency of Duisburg I and entered the 18th German Bundestag via the state list. There he was a full member of the Committee on Food and Agriculture and an alternate member of the Committee on Family, Seniors, Women and Youth .

In the election for the 19th German Bundestag on September 24, 2017, he received 28.7% of the votes cast in his constituency in Duisburg.

Love Parade 2010

In the run-up to the Love Parade 2010 in Duisburg, Mahlberg demanded in an open letter dated February 9, 2009 the Interior Minister and party friend Dr. Ingo Wolf to dismiss Duisburg police chief Rolf Cebin . He justified this in particular with the security concerns that Cebin expressed about the implementation of the Love Parade 2010 in Duisburg, which, according to Mahlberg, led to the image of the city of Duisburg being damaged. The administrative scientist Wolfgang Seibel (administrative scientist) considers statements like this to be partly responsible for a climate of political pressure on approval authorities with security responsibility, which ultimately helped to approve the Love Parade despite serious concerns.
