Christel Hedwig Ernestine Voßbeck-Kayser (born June 1, 1961, Recke, Germany) is a German politician (CDU).
In 1980, she passed her Abitur at the Goethe-Gymnasium Ibbenbüren. Four years later, she graduated from the Catholic University of North Rhine-Westphalia with a degree in social pedagogy.[1] From 1985, she initially worked at the Westphalian State Hospital in Münster,[2] and since 1986 she has been employed by the district administration of the Märkischer Kreis in the social psychiatric service. Christel Voßbeck-Kayser lives with her family in Altena.
In the 2013 Bundestag election, Voßbeck-Kayser was elected as a member of the German Bundestag via position 34 on the CDU state list for North Rhine-Westphalia, but lost out as a direct candidate by a razor-thin margin of just 53 votes to her competitor Dagmar Freitag (SPD). In the 2017 election, the result in the first votes was also close: she fell short of victory as a direct candidate by 1173 votes, which corresponded to 0.8% of the first votes. Since she was not secured with one of the front places via the state list, she dropped out of the Bundestag.[3]
