Peter Michael Tauber (born 22 August 1974) is a former German politician of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) who served as a member of the Bundestag from 2009 to 2021.

After high school diploma in 1994 in Gelnhausen Tauber studied Medieval and Modern History, German Philology, and Political Science at the Goethe University of Frankfurt.

On a scholarship of Hanns Seidel Foundation, he wrote his thesis about the social position and ideological functionalisation of sports in the German Kaiserreich.

In the negotiations to form a Grand Coalition of the Christian Democrats (CDU together with the Bavarian CSU) and the SPD following the 2013 federal elections, Tauber was part of the CDU/CSU delegation in the working group on cultural and media affairs, led by Michael Kretschmer and Klaus Wowereit.

Following the 2017 elections, Tauber was appointed Parliamentary State Secretary at the Federal Ministry of Defence, under the leadership of minister Ursula von der Leyen.

In October 2020, Tauber announced that he would not stand in the 2021 federal elections but instead resign from active politics by the end of the parliamentary term.

In Germany, millions of workers are dependent on this type of employment to make a living due to economic liberalization implemented a decade ago.
