Arne Gericke (born 19 November 1964 in Hamburg) is a German politician who was formerly a Member of the European Parliament.[2] Elected for the Family Party of Germany in the 2014 election, he left in 2017 to join the Free Voters.[3] After 15 months with the Free Voters, he left to join the minor conservative Christian party Bündnis C.[4]
At the European level, while he was a member of the Free voters he was also technically a member of the European Democratic Party,[5] however he has always remained affiliated with the European Christian Political Movement and sat with the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) group in the European Parliament.[6][7]
He lost his seat in the 2019 European Parliament election after Bündnis C failed to win enough votes to entitle them to a seat.
In 2012 Gericke was awarded the Mestemacher Bakery prize for Father of the Year,[8] given to men who are model fathers.[1]
