Ulrich Lange (born 6 June 1969) is a German lawyer and politician of the Christian Social Union in Bavaria (CSU) who has been serving as a member of the Bundestag from the state of Bavaria since 2009.
Born in Meran, Lange became a member of the Bundestag in the 2009 German federal election, representing the Donau-Ries constituency.[1] In parliament, he served on Committee on Economic Affairs and Technology (2009-2013), the Committee on Labour and Social Affairs (2009-2013) and the Committee on Transport (2009-2017).[2] From 2014 until 2017, he was his parliamentary group’s spokesperson on transport.
In the negotiations to form a coalition government under the leadership of Chancellor Angela Merkel following the 2017 federal elections, Lange was part of the working group on transport and infrastructure, led by Michael Kretschmer, Alexander Dobrindt and Sören Bartol.[3] Since early 2018, he has been serving as deputy chairman of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group, under the leadership of successive chairmen Volker Kauder (2018) and Ralph Brinkhaus (2018–2022) and Friedrich Merz (2022–present).[4]
