Peter Feldmann

Peter Manuel Feldmann (born 7 October 1958) is a German politician of the Social Democratic Party (SPD).

He joined the Frankfurt city council in 1988 and was elected vice president of his party's parliamentary group in 2004.

In 2007, Feldmann – together with Sergey Lagodinsky and Ilia Choukhlov – was a co-founder of the Arbeitskreis jüdischer Sozialdemokratinnen und Sozialdemokraten, or AJS, a committee of Jewish members within the SPD.

[9] Feldmann was successful with an election programme putting social aspects such as affordable housing on top of the agenda.

In 2019, Feldmann's wife Zübeyde was found to be being paid above her pay grade by her employer, the Arbeiterwohlfahrt (AWO) welfare organization, and to have been given use of a company car.

The city prosecutor opened an investigation into whether Peter Feldmann, also formerly an employee of AWO, had influenced his wife's compensation.

[12] After the football club Eintracht Frankfurt won the 2021–22 UEFA Europa League on 18 May 2022, Feldmann was severely criticized for several acts at the celebration, including making a sexist statement about air stewardesses, barring club board members from the Römer city hall, and snatching the UEFA Cup trophy from the team captain and coach.
