Early life and career

After graduating from the Max-Planck-Gymnasium in Gelsenkirchen in 1997, Buschmann studied law at the University of Bonn. In 2004, he passed his first state examination at the Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court. This was followed by a legal traineeship at the Regional Court in Essen and in 2007 the Second State Examination at the Higher Regional Court in Hamm.

From 2007 until 2009, Buschmann worked as a lawyer at the Düsseldorf office of international law firm White & Case.

Political career

Buschmann has been a member of the FDP since 1994.

In the 2009 Bundestag elections, Buschmann ran for election in the constituency of Gelsenkirchen and entered the Bundestag via list number 20. He was chairman of the working group on law in the FDP parliamentary group and an expert on constitutional and economic law. Due to the failure of his party to reach the five percent hurdle in the 2013 Bundestag elections, he left the Bundestag.

The federal executive committee of the FDP appointed Buschmann as Federal Executive Director with effect from 1 June 2014. Following his election to the German Bundestag, his term as Federal Executive Director ended on 31 October 2017. Marco Mendorf was appointed as his successor.

In the 2017 federal elections, Buschmann stood for the FDP in the Gelsenkirchen constituency and was elected to the 19th German Bundestag via 4th place on the North Rhine-Westphalia state list of the FDP. There he is the first parliamentary manager of his parliamentary group.[2] In addition, he is a member of the Council of Elders, which – among other duties – determines daily legislative agenda items and assigns committee chairpersons based on party representation; the Committee on Legal Affairs and Consumer Protection; and the Committee on the Scrutiny of Elections, Immunity and the Rules of Procedure. He is also an alternate member of the Committee on the Election of Judges (Wahlausschuss), which is in charge of appointing judges to the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany.
