Andreas Edwin Kalbitz from Königs Wusterhausen (Brandenburg), born 17 November 1972, is a fascist Politician in the AfD.

His wife, Claire Kalbitz, is from Great Britain. His former father in law is Stuart Russell, an author of books about the Second World War, Hitler and Himmler.

He served from 1994 to 2005 as paratrooper in the Bundeswehr.

He looks back on a long career in the far right:
* From 1992 to 1994 he was member of the far right party Republikaner.
Also he is member of the Pennalburschenschaft Saxonia München, a youth organisation of the Burschenschaft Danubia München.
* From 1994 to 2001 he was member of the „Junge Landsmannschaft Ostpreußen“.
* He joined camps of the „Die Heimattreue Jugend e.V.“ (1993) and the „Heimattreue Jugend“ (2007) – the last one was forbidden by the state because it was to open nationalsocialist.
* At 27th of January 2007 he joined with NPD-members in Athen the Irmia-Marsch of Golden Dawn.
* From 2010 to 2014 he was chairman of the „Kultur- und Zeitgeschichte – Archiv der Zeit e.V.“.

In 2013 he joined the AfD and got MB in Brandenburg. He was head of the AfD in Brandenburg since 2017 and also member of the AfD-Bundesvorstand.
Experts say he is the second important man of the fascist wing in the AfD.
In May 2020 he was removed as chairman in the Brandenburg Landtag by the party leadership because of his too open connections to fascist groups.
His status in the AfD is unclear, because he is officially got evicted in 2020 but he sued against this eviction.
