Hans Ludwig Neuhoff[1] (born 1959) is a German cultural sociologist, musicologist and politician (AfD). He has been professor for sociology and musical psychology at the Cologne University of Music since 2004. Neuhoff was elected to the European Parliament in the 2024 European Parliament election.[2]

Life and career

[edit]

Neuhoff studied musicology at the TU Berlin and received a Ph.D. in 1994.[3] He has worked on various cross-cultural projects concerning music and dance with artists from diverse backgrounds such as India, the Middle East and Africa.[4] In 2015 Neuhoff attended a conference about music and immigration and demanded that artitsts with a migration background should receive equal opportunities in their musical careers.[5]

Politics

[edit]

Neuhoff joined the AfD in 2017. He has held various offices in the party, including chairman of the AfD Bonn and member of the executive committee of the AfD North Rhine-Westphalia.[6]

He was elected into the City Council of Bonn in the 2020 North Rhine-Westphalia local elections. In 2024 he was criticised by the local party chapter because he only attended 13 of 36 council sessions since he assumed office in 2020.[7]

Neuhoff was elected to the 8th position of the AfD’s electoral list for the 2024 European elections.[8] During the election campaign, Neuhoff attended a panel discussion staged by the local Chamber of Commerce and Industry in which he claimed that Russia poses no threat as long as Vladimir Putin 'is there'.[9]

One day after the 2024 European elections, Neuhoff successfully proposed the exclusion of the leading candidate Maximilian Krah from the AfD-delegation.

Personal life

[edit]

Neuhoff is married and has three children. His wife was born in Burkina Faso.
