Birgit Malsack-Winkemann (born 12 August 1964) is a German far-right politician and former judge, and a member of the Patriotic Union. She was a member of the 19th Bundestag from 2017 to 2021 for the Alternative for Germany (AfD), of which she has been a member since 2013. After losing re-election to the Bundestag in 2021, Winkemann returned to her previous position as a judge in the Berlin regional court.

On 7 December 2022, she was arrested during a large-scale raid against an alleged right-wing terrorist association with roots stemming from within the Reichsbürger movement.

Biography

Malsack-Winkemann was born on 12 August 1964 in Darmstadt and studied law at Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg. From 2003 to 2017 Malsack-Winkemann worked as a judge in the state of Berlin. In 2013 she joined the newly founded AfD and became a member of the Bundestag in 2017. In June 2021 she was nominated in 5th position on the AfD state candidate list for Bundestag, after she lost against Georg Pazderski - with the state party only winning 3 seats proportionally allocated seats, she lost re-election.

She has been a member of the AfD's party Court of Arbitration since June 2022.

Malsack-Winkemann has two children.

December 2022 arrest

In the morning of 7 December 2022, she was arrested for her alleged involvement with a group of right-wing extremists connected to the Reichsbürger movement, which had planned a coup against the German government. She would have become the Minister of Justice of the government which would be formed if they had managed to realise their plan.

At a trial that started on 21 May 2024, Malsack-Winkemann and eight other defendants were charged with terrorism and high treason.
