Birgit Collin-Langen (born September 4, 1956) is a German CDU politician. She served as the mayor of Bingen am Rhein from 1996 to 2012.[1] In March 2012, she took her seat in the European Parliament for Rhineland-Palatinate in place of Kurt Lechner, who had resigned his seat due to age.[2] On June 18, 2015, she resigned from a secondary employment as a member of an advisory committee for the energy company RWE after criticism from LobbyControl on the publication day of a study[3] that had been published by Lobby Control in collaboration with Corporate Europe Observatory and Friends of the Earth Europe. Criticism aimed at her advocating for RWE-friendly positions in the EPCEPHFS.[4][5]
