She was a deputy leader of the group till her election as first parliamentary secretary of the SPD parliamentary group after the 2013 federal election.

On 19 June 2019 it was announced that Lambrecht would succeed justice minister Katarina Barley on the 1 July 2019, after the latter moved to Brussels to serve in the European Parliament.

During Lambrecht's time in office, German authorities fined Facebook 2 million euros for under-reporting complaints about illegal content on its social media platform in breach of the country’s law on internet transparency.

2020

In September 2020, Lambrecht announced that she would not stand in the 2021 federal elections but instead resign from active politics by the end of the parliamentary term.

In May 2021, Lambrecht additionally took on the portfolio of the Federal Minister for Family Affairs, Women, and Youth, after Franziska Giffey resigned in reaction to her plagiarism affair.

Lambrecht was named Federal Minister of Defence in the cabinet of Olaf Scholz, taking office on 8 December 2021.

At the time, German defence forces were in a very bad condition.

In one of her first speeches, Lambrecht asked for more money for the German army.

Referring to many deficiencies in the materiel, she said that the army was too often ridiculed for helicopters that did not fly and guns that did not hit.

Indeed, Lambrecht was not exaggerating as it had been known for years that the army was lacking 20-30 billion euros worth of ammunition.

Early in her tenure, Lambrecht and Germany as a whole were severely criticized for their very sluggish response to requests by Kyiv for military aid in face of the threatening Russian invasion.

In January 2022 Lambrecht and much of the German public opinion eschewed weapons in favor of non-lethal items.

In the end, Lambrecht offered 5,000 helmets and a field hospital and said that it was "a clear signal that Germany was behind Ukraine".

Lambrecht probably intended it as such, but the offer was received very differently.

Ukraine's capital's mayor, Vitaly Klitschko dismissed it as "a joke".

In Germany itself reactions were no less critical.

Many media thought that Germany was the laughing stock of international politics and was proving itself to be unreliable.

Criticism centered on Lambrecht's actions, and the incidents that she had caused while barely two months in office.

In early February Lambrecht oversaw efforts to send up to 350 more German troops to Lithuania, reinforcing a German-led NATO Enhanced Forward Presence combat unit deployed there to deter a Russian attack on the Baltic states.

After the start of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February, Scholz held his Zeitenwende speech on 27 February.

Immediately after this speech, the ministry of defense requested 250 firms to mobilize every resource in order to make the Bundeswehr combat ready as soon as possible.
