Life
editRoberto Kobelt grew up in Klengel and, after graduating from high school, studied architecture at the Bauhaus Academy in Weimar, graduating with a degree in engineering in 2002. From 2009 on he worked as a self-employed architect.[citation needed]
In early 2000 he became member of A90/Greens and was active at local politics in Weimar. In 2014 he was elected to state parliament of Saxony.[citation needed]
In the 2017 federal election, Kobelt ran as his party's candidate in the Suhl - Schmalkalden-Meiningen - Hildburghausen - Sonneberg constituency and in second place on the state list of Alliance 90/The Greens Thuringia, but failed to enter the German Bundestag.
He was candidate in the 2019 state elections but gained no seat in parliament.[1]
He was accused of being violent towards a partner. According to MDR information, there are also allegations from several women. These could possibly be in connection with a police operation at Kobelt because of alleged bodily harm in 2024. He was not legally prosecuted.[2]
Astrid Rothe-Beinlich, the then parliamentary group leader of the Greens in the Thuringian state parliament, said that the reservations against Kobelt after the allegations were ultimately so great that when the government was reshuffled at the beginning of 2023, no one from the parliamentary group moved to the vacant ministerial office - otherwise Kobelt would be a replacement would have entered parliament for the Greens.[2][3] “I find it difficult to bear that someone like that can take on political responsibility again,” said Rothe-Beinlich in 2024.[2]
In 2020, the district court sentenced Apolda Kobelt to pay 14,500 euros in maintenance, according to a decision available to the MDR.[2]
According to MDR the Erfurt district associationof A90/The Greens excluded Kobelt in May 2023 from the party because of unpaid contributions.[4]
In 2024 he became member of Sahra Wagenknecht Club and got elected to the Thuringia State Parliament.[5]
Robert has four children with a unkonw number of womean.[5]
