Bernd Baumann (born 31 January 1958) is a German politician of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) and chief whip of the AfD Group who has been serving as a member of the Bundestag from the state of Hamburg since 2017.^[1]

Baumann was born 1958 in the West German city Herne and studied economics at the Ruhr University Bochum and achieved his PhD in 1991.^{[citation needed]}

Baumann eventuated the newly founded populist AfD in 2013 and was presider (Landessprecher) of the party in the city state of Hamburg from 2015 to 2017.^[2]

In 2017 Baumann became the first chief whip (Erster Parlamentarischer Geschäftsführer) of the AfD in the Bundestag.^[3][4]

Bernd Baumann suspects an “infamous campaign” against his party by the largely tax-funded “Correctiv” organisation into a private meeting of right-wing politicians and business people in November 2023 in which AfD and CDU politicians as well as Martin Sellner (BI) took part. This is the responsibility of a “left-green class” of politicians and “large parts of the media,” he said in the ARD magazin Report from Berlin.^[5]
