Beatrix von Storch, the deputy leader of the party that is riding high on an anti-immigration and anti-green agenda, was attacked in an event hall in the western town of Daun, where police said about 80 supporters were in attendance.
Von Storch told dpa that a man asked her for a photo and she was ready to oblige. But he smeared her with excrement instead.
"It was really disgusting," von Storch said.
The 35-year-old was overpowered by officers and is now under investigation, police said. Von Storch said she filed a complaint.
