Thomas Heilmann

Thomas Heilmann is a German politician and member of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU). He gained notable attention in July 2023 when he successfully challenged the speed of legislative changes by the governing coalition in the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany, known as the Heilmann decision. This ruling emphasized the importance of respecting parliamentary rights and procedures, particularly regarding significant legislation like the Building Energy Act. His legal victory has had implications for the way future legislative measures are debated and adopted in the Bundestag.
