Introduction
Anna Katharina Kassautzki (born 25 December 1993) is a German politician of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) who has been a member of the German Bundestag since 2021, representing the Vorpommern-Rügen – Vorpommern-Greifswald I constituency.
Political career
Kassautzki joined the SPD in 2014.
In the 2021 German federal election, Kassautzki won the Vorpommern-Rügen – Vorpommern-Greifswald I constituency in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. This was significant as it was the seat that the former Chancellor, Angela Merkel, had held for the Christian Democrats for the previous 30 years, before Kassautzki was born. In parliament, she has since been on the Committee on Digitization and the Committee on Agriculture.
Within her parliamentary group, Kassautzki belongs to the Parliamentary Left, a left-wing movement.
