Christian Dürr (born 18 April 1977) is a German politician of the Free Democratic Party (FDP) who has been serving as a member of the Bundestag since 2017. Since December 2021 he has been leader of the FDP parliamentary group in the Bundestag.[1]
Dürr was born in Delmenhorst. He graduated in economics from Leibniz University Hannover, with a thesis on emissions trading.
Dürr was first elected to the Lower Saxon Landtag in the 2003 state elections.[2] He was his parliamentary group's spokesperson on environmental policy (2003–2009) and media policy (2013–2017). Between 2009 and 2017, he served as chairman of the parliamentary group; in this role, he succeeded Jörg Bode.
Dürr has been a member of the German Bundestag since the 2017 elections, representing the Delmenhorst – Wesermarsch – Oldenburg-Land district. Within his parliamentary group, he chaired the Bundestag group of FDP parliamentarians from Lower Saxony, Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein. He also served as one of six deputy chairpersons of the FDP parliamentary group under the leadership of its chairman Christian Lindner, where he oversaw the group's activities on finance and budget policy.[3]
Ahead of the 2021 elections, Dürr was elected to lead the FDP's campaign in Lower Saxony.[4]
In the negotiations to form a so-called traffic light coalition of the Social Democrats (SPD), the Green Party and the FDP following the 2021 federal elections, Dürr led his party's delegation in the working group on financial regulation and the national budget; his co-chairs from the other parties were Doris Ahnen and Lisa Paus.[5]
In December 2021, Dürr was elected leader of the FDP parliamentary group in the Bundestag, succeeding Christian Lindner. In 2023, he was re-elected by 93 percent of his parliamentary group’s members.[6]
In January 2022, Dürr told business magazine Wirtschaftswoche that Germany needs to attract 400,000 foreign workers a year.[8]
