politics
In 1986 Barth became a member of the LDPD . During the fall of the Berlin Wall he was one of the founders of the Young Liberal Action Thuringia, the liberal youth organization in Thuringia. After he was first elected deputy chairman in 2002, Barth became regional chairman of the FDP Thuringia on November 29, 2003 . From 2003 to 2013 he was a member of the FDP federal executive committee .
Barth was the FDP's top candidate for the state elections in Thuringia in 2004 , in which the FDP only achieved 3.6% and thus did not move into the state parliament.
After the federal election in 2005 , Barth became a member of the German Bundestag via the FDP state list . Since then he has been chairman of parliamentary group VI for innovation, social policy and culture. He was also spokesman for the FDP parliamentary group for universities . In the Bundestag constituency Gera - Jena - Saale-Holzland-Kreis , he received 5.9% of the vote. He was a member of the German Bundestag until September 27, 2009.
In the state elections in Thuringia in 2009 , Barth was again the top candidate of the FDP. After 15 years, the party overcame the five percent hurdle again for the first time ; it received 7.6% of the vote and thus won seven state parliament mandates. In September 2009 Barth was elected chairman of the FDP parliamentary group. Since the extraordinary federal party conference of the FDP in December 2013, he has been one of three deputies of the federal chairman Christian Lindner together with Wolfgang Kubicki and Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann .
The 2014 state elections brought the Thuringian FDP back out of the state parliament, as a result of which Barth, who was his party's top candidate for the third time, also lost his mandate. At the state party conference on November 22, 2014, he waived re-election as state chairman. Franka Hitzing became the new state chairwoman .
At the federal party conference on May 15, 2015 in Berlin, he decided not to run as deputy federal chairman. He was followed by Katja Suding after.
