Armin-Paul Hampel (born 23 July 1957) is a German politician for the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) and from 2017 - 2021 member of the Bundestag.

Life and achievements

Hampel was born 1957 in the then-West German city of Bielefeld and became a freelancer journalist.[1] In his career he worked mostly for public broadcasting stations, Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk (Central German Broadcasting) and later ARD.[2]

Hampel entered the newly founded AfD in 2013 and was chairman of the Landesverband (federal state association) of the party in Lower Saxony from 2013 to 2017.[3]

In 2017 a criminal investigation alleging fraud and tax evasion was conducted against Hampel; the lawsuit was abandoned without further action.[4]

At the German federal election in September 2017, AfD — which was previously unrepresented in the Bundestag — became the third party in the Bundestag with 12.6% of the vote. The AfD got 94 of the 709 Bundestag seats; Hampel has one of them.
