Pierre Lamely

Pierre Lamely (born 12 January 1981 in Fulda) is a German politician of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) and a member of the Bundestag since 25 March 2025. He holds a seat for the 21st electoral term through the state list of Hesse, and he was the AfD candidate in constituency 173, Fulda, where the direct mandate was won by Michael Brand of the Christian Democratic Union.

He trained as a heating and ventilation fitter and received his journeyman's certificate in 2003. Since 2010 he has been self-employed in sports events and sports reporting. From 2018 to 2019 he worked as a staffer in the Landtag of Hesse, and since 2019 he has been an accredited parliamentary assistant at the European Parliament in Brussels, a post from which he is on leave with a right to return. The Bundestag lists his occupation as heating fitter and as that assistant.

Lamely joined the AfD in 2016 and has been a member of its Fulda district executive since then. He was district managing director from 2020 to 2022, has been district chairman since 2022, and has been a deputy state spokesperson of the AfD in Hesse since 2023. Since 2021 he has been a city councillor in Fulda and leader of the AfD group on that council, and a member of the Fulda district council, whose AfD group he has chaired since 2023. The Bundestag biography, which rests on the member's own statements, records him as divorced with one child.

At the federal election of 23 February 2025 he received 39,790 first votes in Fulda, 22.9 percent, against 75,039 votes and 43.3 percent for Brand. The AfD's second-vote share in the constituency was 23.6 percent, up 10.3 points from 2021, with turnout at 84.7 percent. Abgeordnetenwatch lists him fifth on the Hesse AfD list. In the Bundestag he is an ordinary member of the Committee on European Union Affairs and one of the chamber's secretaries, a deputy member of the Corona enquiry commission, and a member of the German delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.

Before that election, in an interview with the Fulda chamber of industry and commerce, he argued that skills shortages should be met by vocational training and programmes to bring back emigrated Germans rather than by what he called a welcome culture, and he called for restarting nuclear plants, expanding coal power and using the Nord Stream pipelines.

Early life and education

Pierre Lamely was born on 12 January 1981 in Fulda, Hesse. The biography published by the Bundestag states that such entries rest on the members' own information; it records him as divorced, with one child, and the same wording is carried on the Bundestag's youth portal mitmischen.de. A different self-description appears on Abgeordnetenwatch, in a section introduced as "Pierre Lamely schreibt über sich selbst" ("Pierre Lamely writes about himself"): there his Familienstand is given as verheiratet (married), and no child is mentioned. The profile maintained by the Alternative for Germany (AfD) group in the Bundestag gives the same date and place of birth and does not state a marital status. None of these accounts names a spouse, dates a marriage or a divorce, or identifies the child.

Schooling in Fulda

The parliamentary biographies place his first school years at the Marquardtschule in Fulda from 1987 to 1991. The Marquardtschule, on Marquardstraße, is a public primary school (Grundschule). It describes itself as a small Grundschule of about 130 pupils and as an all-day school under the motto "Miteinander leben und lernen." Those figures are the school's present-day description, not a record of enrollment while Lamely was a pupil.

From 1991 to 1999 he attended the Rabanus-Maurus-Schule, also called the Domgymnasium, a Gymnasium in Fulda. The school states that its tradition goes back to the monastic school founded in 748 by Sturmi, first abbot of the monastery at Fulda, which it dates to 744, and that it takes its name from Rabanus Maurus (780–856), a pupil and later a teacher there and abbot from 822 to 842. The biographies do not record an Abitur or any other named school-leaving certificate. On Abgeordnetenwatch, the curriculum vitae supplied as Lamely's own summarizes secondary schooling only as "Bis 1999: Fuldaer Domgymnasium" and dates the start of vocational training to that same year.

Apprenticeship as a heating fitter

Published accounts of his training as a Heizungs- und Lüftungsmonteur (heating and ventilation installer) do not agree on the year it ended, and none of them reproduces a certificate or another independent record that would decide among the dates. The Bundestag entry states "Ausbildung zum Heizungs- und Lüftungsmonteur, Gesellenbrief 2003" and lists Heizungsmonteur as his occupation; it does not name a training firm. Mitmischen.de repeats the 2003 Gesellenbrief. On Abgeordnetenwatch his stated qualification is also Heizungs- und Lüftungsmonteur, but the curriculum vitae there reads "1999–2002: Ausbildung zum Heizungs- & Lüftungsmonteur im Familienunternehmen" and then "2002–2010: Heizungsmonteur." That account therefore dates the apprenticeship to 1999–2002, a year earlier than the Bundestag's Gesellenbrief, names a family firm the parliamentary biography does not mention, and lists subsequent employment in the trade until 2010. The AfD group's page gives a third formulation, "Ausbildung zum Heizungs- und Lüftungsmonteur, Abschluss 1999," using the year the other accounts assign to the end of his schooling rather than to a journeyman's certificate. In a June 2025 interview, Osthessen News described him as a gelernter Handwerker (trained craftsman) who later made a hobby his occupation, without a certificate year or an employer's name.

Trade and sports-media career

Heating and ventilation work

The Bundestag biography, which the parliament says rests on members' own statements, records that Lamely trained as a heating and ventilation fitter (Heizungs- und Lüftungsmonteur), received his journeyman's certificate in 2003, and has been self-employed in sports events and sports reporting since 2010. It lists his occupation as heating installer. A longer curriculum that Abgeordnetenwatch presents as his own text places the apprenticeship in 1999–2002 "in the family firm," work as a heating installer from 2002 to 2010, and self-employment in event organisation and sports reporting from 2002—beside the trade until 2010, and his only occupation after that. The profile gives the exercised activity as self-employment in sports reporting and organisation.

North Data's compilation of the commercial register shows a separate Fulda company, Ronny Lamely – Heizung & Sanitär UG (haftungsbeschränkt) (Amtsgericht Fulda, HRB 5661), entered on 20 August 2009 with share capital of €2,000 and the object of running a heating, sanitary and ventilation business. Pierre Lamely was recorded as managing director on entry and as liquidator from 13 January 2011; the company was deleted on 17 July 2017. The entry does not state that this was the family firm named in his curriculum.

Body-Xtreme and event promotion

In April 2017 the Fuldaer Zeitung reported that Lamely, identified as being of Body Xtreme, was organising a weekend of bodybuilding at the Propsteihaus in Petersberg, beside Fulda in Hesse: an international German youth and newcomer championship, the Body-Xtreme Revolution final and a Big Boyz Battle. He told the paper it was the ninth year, that the event had begun with fewer than 20 participants, and that 279 athletes had entered, with about 1,000 visitors expected.

The hall stayed the local venue. In April 2019 the Fuldaer Zeitung, citing the organisers, reported the Revolution final at the Propsteihaus for the eleventh time, with DBFV German youth and newcomer championships and qualification for an International Fitness and Bodybuilding Federation European championship, and more than 250 first-time competitors. The Osthessen-Zeitung carried a matching preview. In April 2020 the Fuldaer Zeitung reported Revolution, a newcomer championship and Big Boyz there, with 130 starters, and described Revolution as a class for hobby athletes who had trained since January. On 13 October 2026 FuldaInfo named New Body Promotion GbR as organiser of a further DBFV weekend at the hall on 17–18 October, including a youth, junior and masters championship and a "Pure Classics" format whose organisers said it would require dried-blood-spot tests by a WADA-accredited laboratory, with no therapeutic-use exemptions.

Body-Xtreme's site, which calls the project a bodybuilding archive running since 2001, states that the DBFV and Body-Xtreme formed New Body Promotion as a joint venture from 1 January 2013 to promote young athletes and new formats, and names DBFV president Guido Falk and Pierre Lamely, described there as owner of Body-Xtreme, as the parties to the agreement. In the Fulda register, Body-Xtreme Nutrition GmbH (HRB 5268) was entered on 21 June 2007 with Lamely as managing director and capital of €25,200, to trade in sports-nutrition products; liquidation was entered on 7 August 2019 and the company was deleted on 8 October 2021. Body-Xtreme Publishing UG (haftungsbeschränkt) (HRB 5614) was entered on 14 May 2009, capital €500, with Lamely as managing director; North Data gives the object as internet services and events, and the address as Amand-Ney-Straße 10. Liquidation began on 18 March 2021. On 12 April 2022 the company was continued as BX2ME UG (haftungsbeschränkt), with Lamely still managing director. The site's imprint says body-xtreme.de is a project of that company and names him managing director and editor.

His Bundestag disclosures list a holding in BX2ME UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Fulda, and a reportable involvement in New Body Promotion GbR, Fulda, with no income stated for either. Abgeordnetenwatch reproduces both participations, recorded on 1 September 2025 for the 2025–2029 mandate, again without a stated income.

Local politics in Fulda

City council

Lamely has been a Stadtverordneter in Fulda since the Hessian municipal elections of 14 March 2021. The Bundestag biography, drawn from members' own statements, records him as chair of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) group in the 59-seat Stadtverordnetenversammlung from the start of that term. Its usual chamber is the Fürstensaal in the Stadtschloss; in March 2021 it was meeting in the Orangerie.

The 2021 AfD group was Lamely, Frank Schüßler, Ronny Lamely and Artur Gilbert. In the Bundestag's disclosure of posts in public bodies, also supplied by the member, he is group chair and a member of the committee for schools, culture and sport and of the Ältestenrat. The filing lists a monthly gross of 400 euros from the city, plus irregular payments of 225 euros in 2025 and, as then published, 25 euros in 2026. The offices are honorary. Under the city's bylaw of 16 December 2022, in force from 1 January 2023, a councillor receives 220 euros a month and 25 euros a meeting, and a group chair a further 180 euros a month plus 6 euros per member.

On 15 March 2026 he was returned again, with 14,669 candidate votes, the second-highest total on the AfD list. The Fuldaer Zeitung named him among the twelve AfD members elected, immediately after Schüßler. A group statement published by the Osthessen-Zeitung said the new group had re-elected him chair unanimously on Schüßler's proposal, with Schüßler remaining deputy, and had nominated Hella Dietz for deputy president of the assembly.

District council

Since 2021 Lamely has also sat in the 81-member Kreistag of the Fulda district. The result of 14 March 2021 lists him among eight AfD members elected by personal vote. The Bundestag disclosure dates his chairmanship of that group from 2023. In September 2023 the Fuldaer Zeitung reported that Jens Mierdel, chair since 2021, had left the group while keeping his seat, and that the group had elected Lamely, already chair of the city group and of the district party, to succeed him. Lamely said the vote was unanimous.

The disclosure also lists him on the committee for education, volunteering and customs (Bildung, Ehrenamt und Brauchtum) and on the Zweckverband Abfallsammlung, the district waste-collection body. It records a monthly gross of 361.84 euros from the district and irregular payments of 1,002.12 euros in 2025. On 15 March 2026 he received 42,481 candidate votes, third on the AfD list, which won 16 seats. The group said that on 19 April 2026 it again elected him chair unanimously, proposed by lead candidate Jan Nolte, with Nolte as deputy and Schüßler as treasurer.

Local election results

Hessian municipal elections have no statutory threshold. For the Stadtverordnetenversammlung on 14 March 2021, Osthessen-News gave the city's preliminary final count: turnout was 47.30 percent (23,610 of 49,914 eligible voters). The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) won 42.22 percent and 25 seats, Alliance 90/The Greens 16.16 percent and 10, the Social Democratic Party (SPD) 13.53 percent and 8, the AfD 7.19 percent and 4, the Free Democratic Party 6.38 percent and 4, Die Linke 3.71 percent and 2, and the Christliche Wähler-Einheit (CWE) 2.86 percent and 2. Volt (2.27 percent), Die PARTEI (2.25 percent), Bündnis C (1.46 percent) and Bürger für Osthessen (0.94 percent) each took one seat; a "Soziale Gerechtigkeit" list, at 0.80 percent, took none. It was the AfD's first entry into the assembly.

The Kreistag count the same day showed a turnout of 56.22 percent (98,295 of 174,831). The CDU won 44.09 percent and 36 seats, the SPD 12.31 percent and 10, the Greens 12.02 percent and 10, the AfD 10.04 percent and 8, the FDP 6.55 percent and 5, the CWE 4.79 percent and 4, the Free Voters 3.05 percent and 2, and Die Linke 2.32 percent and 2, with one seat each for Volt, Bündnis C, Die PARTEI and Bürger für Osthessen.

On 15 March 2026 city turnout was 52.04 percent (25,456 of 48,919). With all 102 local reports in, the city's presentation gave the CDU 37.90 percent and 22 seats, the AfD 20.09 percent and 12, the Greens 12.05 percent and 7, the SPD 9.24 percent and 5, Die Linke 5.23 percent and 3, and Volt 4.19 percent and 3. The FDP won two seats, and the Free Voters, Fulda Gemeinsam Gestalten (FGG), the CWE, Die PARTEI and Bündnis C one each. The Fuldaer Zeitung reported that division of the 59 seats and noted that no list had a majority alone.

The district election committee certified the Kreistag result on 27 March 2026. Turnout was 60.55 percent (105,075 of 173,523); 101,873 valid ballots produced 7,843,273 valid candidate votes. The CDU received 44.46 percent and 36 seats, the AfD 20.00 percent and 16, the SPD 9.60 percent and 8, the Greens 8.24 percent and 7, the Free Voters 3.43 percent and 3, the CWE 3.15 percent and 3, the FDP 3.12 percent and 2, Die Linke 2.95 percent and 2, and Volt 2.63 percent and 2. Die PARTEI (0.96 percent) and FGG (0.86 percent) each won one seat; Bündnis C, at 0.60 percent, won none.

Offices in the Alternative for Germany

Fulda district association

Pierre Lamely joined the Alternative for Germany (AfD) in 2016. The biography published by the Bundestag, which the parliament says rests on members' own information, states that he has sat on the executive of the AfD district association in Fulda since then, was its business manager (Kreisgeschäftsführer) from 2020 to 2022, and has been district chairman since 2022.

A party statement published on 15 November 2021 reported that a district congress in Petersberg the previous Saturday had elected him chairman to succeed Martin Hohmann, named the association's first honorary chairman, with Christine Anderson, a member of the European Parliament, remaining deputy chair. In January 2024 the association announced that a congress in Dietershausen had confirmed Lamely as chairman and Anderson as deputy for two further years, and described the vote as unanimous.

Hesse state organisation

The AfD in Hesse is led by two state spokesmen, Robert Lambrou and Andreas Lichert. An account of a 2025 congress said Lambrou had led the state association continuously since 2017 and Lichert had been a spokesman since 2021. Lamely joined the state executive at a congress in Melsungen in February 2023. The Osthessen-Zeitung reported that 83 percent of the delegates present elected him an assessor (Beisitzer). He described the result as the first time someone from eastern Hesse had taken a statewide party office.

On 11 November 2023 a congress in Karben re-elected Lambrou and Lichert. The Frankfurter Rundschau, citing the party, reported 77 percent for Lambrou and 86 percent for Lichert. Lambrou was the AfD's Landtag group leader and its lead candidate in the state election of 8 October 2023, when the party took 18.4 percent and became the second-largest group. The paper linked Lichert to the formally dissolved völkisch "Flügel" and quoted both spokesmen saying factional struggles in the Hessian AfD had been overcome for several years.

That November the Fulda association announced that Lamely, an assessor for nine months, had been elected a deputy state spokesman (stellvertretender Landessprecher), the post his Bundestag biography dates from 2023. After a state congress in Neuhof, near Fulda, reported on 8 November 2025, the association said Lambrou and Lichert had been confirmed and again listed Lamely as a deputy spokesman.

Internal disputes

On 29 September 2023 the Fuldaer Zeitung reported that, about ten days after federal chairman Tino Chrupalla had told a Fulda meeting that internal quarrels were over, Jens Mierdel resigned as chair of the AfD group on the district council and left it. He cited incidents that made cooperation impossible, kept the seat as an independent, stayed in the party, and remained AfD group chair in Neuhof. He had chaired the Hessian Young Alternative for Germany until March 2020 and, the paper reported, was active in 2014–2015 in the Identitarian Movement Germany, which it called far-right; Mierdel said he had already rejected its völkisch and racist line.

Lamely said the remaining members had elected him group chair unanimously, accused Mierdel of poor teamwork, and said the resignation anticipated a suspension and a lost vote. The group fell from eight members to seven. The same report said Bernhard Holzwarth, a 2013 co-founder of the Fulda association, a former member of the Free Democratic Party, and for five years an AfD member of the district committee (Kreisausschuss), had left months earlier over the party's closeness to Vladimir Putin and what he called indifference to Ukraine. Lamely called the departure a single case beside what he described as a wave of new members.

On 18 October 2023 the paper reported a new three-member group, Christen für Osthessen, chaired by Mierdel with Norbert Höhl of Bündnis C and Anton Josef Rummel of Bürger für Osthessen. On 1 November it reported that the state executive had dissolved Mierdel's membership with immediate effect after the district executive opened expulsion proceedings over his exit, which it called conspicuous and harmful to the party. Mierdel said he would appeal to the state party court. He suggested the case revived an Identitarian-membership claim rejected by that court in 2022 — he said he had attended meetings but never joined — and blamed Lamely for difficulties since early 2022.

In June 2024 the Fuldaer Zeitung reported that the annulment was final and that Mierdel's challenges had failed, closing the district expulsion case. Lamely demanded he return council seats won on AfD lists, arguing they came from his place on the party slate rather than from a personal following.

Parliamentary staff and earlier candidacies

2018 Landtag election

At the election to the Landtag of Hesse on 28 October 2018, Pierre Lamely was the admitted constituency candidate of the Alternative for Germany in Wahlkreis 15, Fulda II. The nominations report of the Hessian statistical office listed him as a sports reporter, born in 1981 in Fulda and living in the city (postcode 36043), with the self-employed Frank Schüssler as substitute. Wahlkreis 15 was not the city of Fulda, which formed Wahlkreis 14 (Fulda I), and it was not Wahlkreis 13 (Marburg-Biedenkopf II). It comprised fifteen municipalities of Landkreis Fulda: Dipperz, Ebersburg, Ehrenberg (Rhön), Eichenzell, Flieden, Gersfeld (Rhön), Hilders, Hofbieber, Hosenfeld, Kalbach, Künzell, Neuhof, Petersberg, Poppenhausen (Wasserkuppe) and Tann (Rhön).

Of 85,109 people eligible to vote, 61,897 cast ballots, a turnout of 72.7 percent. Lamely received 10,266 of the 60,583 valid constituency votes (16.9 percent), the share Die Welt also reported on election night, and placed second. The seat went to Markus Meysner of the Christian Democratic Union of Germany, a sitting Landtag member from Petersberg, with 24,978 votes (41.2 percent). Behind Lamely were the Social Democratic Party of Germany with 7,941 votes (13.1 percent), Alliance 90/The Greens with 7,878 (13.0 percent), the Free Democratic Party (Germany) with 4,302 (7.1 percent), the Free Voters with 2,871 (4.7 percent) and Die Linke with 2,347 (3.9 percent).

On the list ballot the AfD received 11,016 votes in Fulda II, 18.2 percent of 60,653 valid list votes. In the statistical office's ranking of AfD list shares, Fulda II stood first among Hesse's 55 constituencies. Lamely's name does not appear among the candidates the final report records as elected, and the constituency mandate is recorded for Meysner.

Hessian Landtag staff

The Bundestag biography places Lamely, for 2018 to 2019, as a Referent in the Hessian Landtag, between self-employment in sports events and reporting from 2010 and the European Parliament assistantship from 2019. The biography does not name a parliamentary group, a member, or any subject area for that post, and the Landtag employment is not among the jobs carried into his later declaration of activities before he joined the Bundestag.

European Parliament assistant

From 2019 the same biography describes him as an accredited parliamentary assistant (akkreditierter parlamentarischer Assistent) in the European Parliament. The short occupational line on the profile is heating fitter and accredited parliamentary assistant in the EU Parliament, at present on leave (zurzeit beurlaubt). In the declaration of employment before membership, the employer is given as the European Parliament in Brussels, the function as parliamentary assistant, with a right to return (Rückkehrrecht).

Accredited parliamentary assistants are selected by a Member of the European Parliament and employed by the Parliament; the institution publishes the names of assistants under contract. The Bundestag text does not name the member he assisted, his grade, or the month in 2019 when the contract began, and a public surname search of the Parliament's assistants register returns no page for him.

What is known about the assignment comes from later reporting rather than from that official curriculum. In a report carried by rbb in May 2025, the ARD programme Kontraste described him as the long-time Brussels office manager of the AfD MEP Christine Anderson. In a June 2025 interview he said that for six years the desk work had been motions and minor interpellations, the difference after his move to Berlin being that the addressee was the federal government rather than the European Commission. Public biographies do not set out the terms of the leave beyond the right of return noted by the Bundestag, and they do not publish the contract.

Election to the Bundestag

Candidacy and constituency

The election of the 21st Bundestag was held on 23 February 2025. Pierre Lamely was the candidate of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) in constituency 173, Fulda, and occupied fifth place on the party's state list in Hesse.

Constituency 173 covers all of Fulda district and ten municipalities of the Vogelsbergkreis: Freiensteinau, Grebenau, Grebenhain, Herbstein, Lauterbach (Hessen), Lautertal (Vogelsberg), Schlitz, Schwalmtal, Ulrichstein and Wartenberg. On 31 December 2023 it contained 33 municipalities, covered 2,130.2 square kilometres and had 270,500 inhabitants, a density of 127 people per square kilometre.

On 24 January 2025 the constituency election committee, sitting at the Fulda district administration, admitted ten direct candidacies. It rejected Bündnis C, which had gathered 145 valid supporting signatures rather than the 200 required of a party without the necessary representation in the Bundestag or a state parliament. Those admitted were Christine Fischer of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), Michael Brand of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), Marie-Louise Puls of Alliance 90/The Greens, Philipp Kratzer of the Free Democratic Party (FDP), Lamely for the AfD, Steven Lorenz of Die Linke, Wilhelm Hartmann of the Free Voters, Sebastian Künemund of Die PARTEI, Justin Auth of Volt and Michael Heilmann of Bündnis Deutschland. Fischer, Brand, Puls, Lamely and Lorenz were from Fulda, Kratzer from Künzell, Künemund from Eichenzell, Auth from Flieden and Heilmann from Schlüchtern.

The Hesse state election committee in Wiesbaden admitted 14 of 20 submitted state lists, including the AfD list. After the count, the state returning officer listed nine AfD members as elected from that list, from Jan Ralf Nolte in first place to Nicole Claudia Hess in ninth, with Lamely in fifth place.

Results

Of 206,544 eligible voters in the constituency, 174,948 voted, a turnout of 84.7 percent, 6.3 points higher than in 2021. Valid first votes numbered 173,497; 1,451 ballots, 0.8 percent, were invalid.

The Federal Returning Officer recorded Brand as elected in the constituency with 75,039 votes, 43.3 percent, a gain of 5.2 points on 2021. Lamely was the runner-up, with 39,790 votes, 22.9 percent, a gain of 7.8 points. The SPD received 23,675 votes (13.6 percent, down 8.1 points), the Greens 11,460 (6.6 percent, down 2.0), Die Linke 7,262 (4.2 percent, up 1.3), the Free Voters 6,093 (3.5 percent, up 0.8) and the FDP 5,969 (3.4 percent, down 5.2). Volt polled 1,902 votes (1.1 percent), Die PARTEI 1,607 (0.9 percent) and Bündnis Deutschland 700 (0.4 percent).

Valid second votes numbered 173,678, with 1,270 invalid ballots (0.7 percent). The CDU led with 65,243 votes, 37.6 percent and a gain of 6.5 points, ahead of the AfD on 40,951 votes, 23.6 percent and a gain of 10.3 points. The SPD took 22,300 votes (12.8 percent, down 9.6 points), the Greens 13,195 (7.6 percent, down 2.5), Die Linke 9,093 (5.2 percent, up 2.5) and the FDP 8,517 (4.9 percent, down 7.8). The BSW, which had no direct candidate, received 6,243 second votes (3.6 percent), and the Free Voters 3,943 (2.3 percent, up 0.3). The Animal Protection Party, Volt, Die PARTEI and Bündnis Deutschland each stayed below 1 percent.

Brand's constituency vote exceeded the CDU list vote by 9,796, and the AfD list vote exceeded Lamely's constituency vote by 1,161. Across Hesse the AfD's second-vote share was 17.8 percent, or 636,778 votes, up 9.0 points from 2021, on a turnout of 83.1 percent.

Taking the seat

The Fulda constituency seat went to Brand, so Lamely's membership depended on the state list. In the register of members elected in 2025, the Federal Returning Officer lists Lamely, born in 1981, as returned for the Land of Hesse in list place 5, and as having also stood in constituency 173. His Bundestag biography states that he was elected on the Hesse state list and was the candidate in Wahlkreis 173, Fulda. Abgeordnetenwatch records the mandate as obtained through the Hesse state list at position 5, with Fulda as the constituency.

The Federal Electoral Committee determined the final national result on 14 March 2025. The 21st Bundestag held its constituent sitting on Tuesday, 25 March 2025. The Bundestag dates the start of Lamely's membership to 25 March 2025.

Work in the 21st Bundestag

In the 21st Bundestag, Pierre Lamely, of the Alternative for Germany (AfD), is listed as an ordinary member of the Committee on European Union Affairs, a secretary of the Bundestag (Schriftführer), a deputy member of the enquiry commission on the COVID-19 pandemic, and an ordinary member of the German delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. Structured data on the page date every role from 25 March 2025, when the profile was created; the sitting records below are later.

Committee on European Union Affairs

Article 45 of the Basic Law requires the Bundestag to appoint a Committee on the Affairs of the European Union, and allows the House to authorise it to exercise rights the Bundestag holds toward the federal government and under the EU treaties. The committee, of 34 members, was constituted on 21 May 2025, when Anton Hofreiter (Alliance 90/The Greens) was again elected chair. The AfD holds eight seats, and the account of that sitting names Lamely as one of them. His biography records only ordinary membership. Each group names an Obmann as its committee coordinator; a full member has one vote, and a substitute votes only when replacing an absent full member of the same group. A Fulda news site reported on 16 May 2025 that the AfD's EU working group had chosen him as deputy coordinator (stellvertretender Obmann), a group post the Bundestag does not list.

Opening the AfD's 17 December 2025 debate against any form of EU "chat control", including a version called voluntary (Drucksache 21/3296), he said he had asked in the EU committee how that would work, and that the Federal Chancellery replied it did not yet know.

Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe

On 5 June 2025 the Bundestag approved a joint group nomination for Germany's representatives in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. Lamely was one of four full AfD representatives, with Malte Kaufmann and Achim Köhler. The delegation's report on the Assembly's fourth 2025 part-session, in Strasbourg from 29 September to 3 October, lists him among those who attended. The biography still describes him only as an ordinary member of the delegation. It does not record him as leader of the AfD members.

In editorially adapted speeches he treated an Assembly report on the Polish presidential elections of May and June 2025 as applying to Germany: AfD politicians, he said, were rarely on public-broadcaster talk shows, public money reached what he called left-wing NGO "front organisations", and excluding Marine Le Pen, Călin Georgescu or Joachim Paul, or seeking to ban parties, showed fear of democracy rather than for it. On Turkey he said criticism of Ankara had to include proceedings against Le Pen, an annulled Romanian result, Paul's exclusion from a mayoral contest, a new German constitutional judge whom he said favoured banning the AfD, and cooperation in Fulda between authorities and groups he called Antifa. After SPD delegate Derya Türk-Nachbaur spoke of "the right-wing extremist colleague from Germany", he rejected the word extremist.

Other offices and votes

On 22 May 2025 the Bundestag elected its secretaries without debate from a joint proposal of 20 May (Drucksache 21/215 (neu)). Lamely was one of 15 AfD names among 64 secretaries. Secretaries are members. Two sit with the presiding officer, by custom one from each side of the House, taking requests to speak, keeping the speakers' list, reading documents and announcing results.

He is a deputy member of the enquiry commission "Aufarbeitung der Corona-Pandemie und Lehren für zukünftige pandemische Ereignisse", shortened on his biography to Enquete-Kommission "Corona". A list of 26 August 2025 places him among three AfD substitutes, beside full members Christina Baum, Claudia Weiss and Kay-Uwe Ziegler. Constituted on 8 September 2025 under Bundestag president Julia Klöckner, the commission has 14 members of parliament and 14 experts and is to report by the end of June 2027. Franziska Hoppermann (CDU) was elected chair unanimously; the AfD's nominee for deputy chair, Claudia Weiss, was not. As on a standing committee, a substitute votes only when replacing an absent full member of the same group.

On 27 June 2025, after Florian Oest (CDU/CSU) declined a question in the debate on suspending family reunification for beneficiaries of subsidiary protection, Lamely contrasted a figure of about 1,000 reunifications a month with 31,453 between 7 March and 13 June and asked "why are you lying?" President Klöckner called him to order for "Lüge", saying disagreement did not make another view a lie. On 9 October 2025 he called the child-protection case for scanning private messages a "gewaltiger Etikettenschwindel". On 5 March 2026, in an AfD hour on digital participation, the EU digital-identity wallet and social-media bans, he opposed those bans and the wallet, compared COVID-19 certificate checks to a trial for identity controls, and declined a CDU/CSU question.

In Abgeordnetenwatch's October 2026 roll-call record he did not take part, on 16 October, in the vote amending the Fuel Emissions Trading Act (the statutory CO₂ price). On 15 October he voted to extend the Bundeswehr missions UNMISS in South Sudan and EUNAVFOR ASPIDES in the Red Sea. On 8 October he voted to keep tax preferences for large housing portfolios and large property deals, and against abolishing the preference for real-estate companies.

Political positions

Pierre Lamely, of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) from Fulda, has stated his positions in constituency interviews, a 2024 nomination speech and early speeches in the Bundestag. He has cast them as AfD policy.

Migration and asylum

Nominated unanimously in July 2024 for Fulda and the Vogelsberg, Lamely said the AfD would "end mass migration, close the borders and abolish the incentives that make Germany a destination for economic migration," and would deport consistently. In that speech, carried by Osthessen-News from a party text, he called policy under Angela Merkel and Olaf Scholz a loss of control and linked a "migration crisis" to violence, especially against women in public. He later told the Gießener Allgemeine and the Fulda chamber of commerce that the Christian Democratic Union's (CDU) "welcome culture" had worsened the shortage of skilled workers, and that the AfD would "repair the migration chaos," expand vocational training, bring emigrated Germans home and attract qualified workers through lower taxes, security and cheaper housing.

On 27 June 2025, debating a two-year suspension of family reunification for people with subsidiary protection, he said Chancellor Friedrich Merz had promised a Migrationswende from day one. He cited a government answer of 31,453 family reunifications from 7 March to 13 June 2025, against a colleague's figure of about 1,000 a month, and asked why the Union was "selling false hopes" and lying. President Julia Klöckner called him to order, saying disagreement was not a lie. Since 2018 the quota being suspended had been up to 1,000 relatives a month for subsidiary protection alone; the AfD's interior spokesman still called the measure "a drop in the ocean" while the faction, Lamely included, voted for the CDU/CSU–Social Democratic Party bill, which passed 444 to 133.

Energy and the regional economy

Lamely has blamed energy costs in eastern Hesse for local closures, naming Weber and the Fulda rubber works in his nomination speech and promising to scrap climate funds, end what he called the costly energy and mobility transition, and cut "ideological" and unnecessary EU spending. To the Fulda chamber he said "ideological 'climate policy'" had raised costs, and that supply security, affordability and environmental protection should be restored by restarting nuclear stations, expanding coal plants and using the Nord Stream pipelines. For smaller firms he proposed scrapping the EU supply-chain directive and the packaging law and easing data-protection and procurement rules.

For the Vogelsberg he said the car should not be fought "ideologically" and had to become affordable, while buses and trains should be more reliable rather than half-hourly in every village, and he was open to the B254n bypass at Lauterbach–Wartenberg if environmental effects were offset. Of the 2025 coalition agreement he told the Fuldaer Zeitung that it continued an "ideological climate course," more debt and open borders, and left the Union the junior partner of a "left agenda." The same report quoted CDU member Michael Brand calling the text a Union-led change of course, including lower energy costs.

Europe and relations with other parties

His stated aim is "a Europe of sovereign nations," using assistant work in the European Parliament since 2019 on the Bundestag committee for EU affairs. A first speech of his choosing, he said, would cover corruption allegations against European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen and vaccine contracts he called opaque. On the war in Ukraine he rejected arms deliveries, wanted negotiations and an end to sanctions he said hurt Germany more than their target, and would not back Bundeswehr missions beyond territorial defence; he favoured restoring conscription with a civilian alternative.

The speech he gave on 21 May 2025 was on an EU regulation on plants from new genomic techniques. He said he had told the Fuldaer Zeitung on 17 February 2025 that the AfD was "not a firewall party" and that he could imagine governing with Alliance 90/The Greens if voters and content allowed, adding a joke that "knife attackers" might receive soy bolognese in prison. He backed an immediate vote not on the merits but because the CDU and CSU had supported the regulation in Strasbourg and the SPD had not, which he treated as a test of Merz's majority; the coalition referred the motion to committee.

In June 2025 he called himself "a man of the centre," sometimes "more to the right and sometimes not," saw little change from the traffic-light government, and doubted a coalition that had failed to elect its chancellor at the first ballot. The AfD, he said, would "hold up a mirror to the CDU," and he stood fully behind chair Alice Weidel. He had called the CDU firewall against the AfD anti-democratic and said he would work with every Bundestag party. To the Fuldaer Zeitung he said Merz, with Saskia Esken and Lars Klingbeil, had formed an "alliance of arbitrariness" after dropping conservative promises, which the AfD would test for its effects on taxpayers, families, the Mittelstand and security.

Controversies and public reception

Dispute with local opponents

Lamely’s sharpest local conflict is with Fulda stellt sich quer e.V. (FSSQ) in Fulda, an association that says it has worked since 2014 to strengthen democracy, oppose racism and “live diversity,” including a January 2015 demonstration against Pegida. The group and the Fulda Alternative for Germany, whose district organisation Lamely chairs, have fought over grants, a municipal room and mutual descriptions.

From 2019 FSSQ received €144,366 from the federal programme “Demokratie leben!” for memorial work, women’s rights, help for Ukrainian refugees and neighbourhood education, the Fuldaer Zeitung reported. After entering the Bundestag, Lamely called the grants misdirected and cited a December 2021 Facebook post — “Our task is to wreck the AfD” — in a question to the federal government on whether the record met programme rules. Chairman Andreas Goerke said the line came from a lawyer and had been legally checked. Mayor Dag Wehner of the Christian Democratic Union of Germany said the city would not reopen the grants, because funded projects were not expressly aimed at a party and members’ party activity did not affect eligibility.

Until the end of June 2025 FSSQ used a 24-square-metre room at Gallasiniring 30 for €75 a month in basic rent plus €50 in operating costs. Lamely called that a “cheap rent” for a “left-wing auxiliary organisation”; the city said the terms were usual for neighbourhood groups and that the contract ended on schedule without renewal. In an AfD report to a file-inspection committee the party had requested, deputy faction chair Frank Schüssler alleged irregular billing and demanded repayment of more than €73,000. In August 2025 the committee, with Schüssler dissenting, found funded events had in principle stayed non-partisan and ordered repayment of €923.18 for duplicate receipts.

Courts have limited claims without adopting either label as fact. A final Fulda regional-court judgment of 25 March 2025 barred FSSQ from saying an AfD meeting had created a donation pot to “destroy” the association. In June 2026 the Higher Regional Court in Frankfurt, following the Federal Court of Justice, held that the district AfD may call FSSQ “left-wing extremist” as a value judgement under Article 5 of the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany, not as a finding that the association is left-wing extremist. It allowed statements that FSSQ defames rivals and disrupts campaigns, and barred the claim that the group acted “wholly contrary to its own statutes.” In July 2026 FSSQ said it had collected nearly 4,600 signatures for an AfD ban procedure. In a reply the Osthessen-Zeitung printed unedited, Lamely called the drive a manoeuvre by an actor under pressure and said the Fulda prosecutor had dropped Goerke’s complaint of insult and defamation over an AfD flyer, for lack of sufficient suspicion.

Media coverage

The sustained record is regional. The Fuldaer Zeitung and the Osthessen-Zeitung have carried the rent, funding and court stories, and fuldainfo reported in December 2019 a €1,000 regulatory fine over Facebook statements about Lamely, in an item built largely from his comments. Before the 2025 election the regional Gießener Allgemeine interviewed him on migration and rural transport, a candidate piece rather than a national-newspaper profile. The main national broadcast item was ARD’s Kontraste of 8 May 2025, which asked whether, as a paid assistant to AfD MEP Christine Anderson in the European Parliament, he had campaigned without required unpaid leave. Lamely denied wrongdoing.

Party context

On 2 May 2025 the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution said it was upgrading the federal party from a suspected case (Verdachtsfall) to a “confirmed right-wing extremist endeavour,” citing an ethnic-ancestral concept of the people, then agreed not to use that label in public while an injunction was heard. On 26 February 2026 the Cologne administrative court barred the upgrade until the main case ends at first instance: it saw a strong suspicion of efforts against the free democratic basic order, but not a tendency dominating the whole party. The Interior Ministry told tagesschau it would not appeal, so the AfD remained a suspected case open to intelligence observation. In Hesse, the Wiesbaden administrative court held in June 2026 that the state office may keep observing the Land association as a right-wing extremist suspected case. Those proceedings do not classify Lamely himself.
