My name is Konstantin von Notz (born 21st January 1971 in Mölln) and I am a German lawyer and politician (Bündnis 90/Die Grünen). As of 2009 I am a member of the German Bundestag.

In the 19th legislative period (election 2017) I was voted vice chairman along with the election of the spokesman for religion and ideology. Now I am a member in the  Parliamentary Oversight Panel. Also, I am continuing my work as a member of the  Committee on Internal Affairs and Community since 2009. Besides this I am working in several other panels in this election period.

In the 18th legislative period in 2013 I was given a safe seat through the second place on the regional list in Schleswig-Holstein. In this legislative period, I was voted for vice chairman and coordinator of working group 3 (civil rights and democracy, legal and social policy), along with the reelection for spokesman of internet policy in my parliamentary faction. I was also representing my party as spokesman of the 1. Committee of inquiry for NSA surveillance. I was once again full member in the internal affairs committee of the German Bundestag, as well as chairman of the committee of inquiry concerning the NSA and for “Digitale Agenda”. Furthermore, I was deputy member in the committees for legal affairs and consumer protection, along with the electoral committee.

In February of 2013 in context of the “Parlamentarians protect Parlamentarians“ program of the committee for human rights and humanitarian aid in the German Bundestag, I took over the sponsorship for Cuban dissenter Antonio Rodiles.My brother Börries von Notz is an attorney as well and was the managing director of the Jewish museum in Berlin from 2008 till 2013 and subsequently acts as the leading director of the foundation “Historische Museen Hamburg”.

In 2009 I was first elected as a member of the 17th German Bundestag.

During my first legislative period in the Bundestag I assumed the position of spokesman for internal affairs and internet policy for the group Bündnis90/Die Grünen in the German Bundestag. Also, I acted as chairman for the parliamentary group Bündnis 90/die Grünen in the enquete commission “Internet and digital society”. I was also deputy member on the committee on legal affairs and on the subcommittee “new media” while representing the parliamentary group Bündnis 90/Die Grünen on the committee in accordance with § 23c paragraph/subparagraph 8 of the German customs investigation service act and on the committee for information and communication technology, a subcommittee of the Council of Elders in the German Bundestag.

Up to my entry in the German Bundestag I worked as an attorney in my hometown Mölln. From 2001 to 2004, I also operated as legal intern at the district court in Lübeck.

Since 1995 I am a member of the green party Bündnis 90/Die Grünen, first in Heidelberg and as of 2004 in the district association Herzogtum Lauenburg. In the same year I started representing my party in the city council of Mölln and one year later I was elected for the party council of Schleswig-Holstein.

From 1993 onwards I studied law at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität in Heidelberg where I completed my first law examination in 1998 and my second in 2004. I pursued my academic career in 2002 with a dissertation addressing the obligatory conduct of life in evangelic church law.

From 1991 to 1992 I have done my community service (Zivildienst) in the railway mission (Bahnhofsmission) at Frankfurt central station.

I grew up in Hamburg and Frankfurt am Main, where I attended the Freiherr-vom-Stein-Schule from 1981 to 1991, concluding in passing my A-levels.

I was born on the 21st of January in 1971 in Mölln, Germany.
