Bahmann was born in Plauen, an industrial town in the south-west of Saxony that had boomed in the nineteenth century. The decline of the German textiles sector after the First World War created particular economic and social hardship in the town during the 1920s, however.

From 1952 till 1958 he served as Agriculture Secretary with the District Party leadership in Gera. He also sat, between 1954 and 1958, as a district councillor for Gera. However, in June 1958 he was abruptly relieved of his party posts following a "party procedure".
