What to do about workplace bullying when you are still job hunting?

Taking parallel action is possible and advisable. Legal basis: AGG §3 protects against harassment based on discriminatory motives. ArbSchG §5 obliges employers to conduct risk assessments including psychological stress. Documentation is crucial: Write down date, time, witnesses, specific incidents. Simultaneous job search: Rejections from an employer are no reason to endure the current job — active searching and filing complaints are not mutually exclusive. Caveat: An ongoing complaint procedure can delay termination if the employer reacts to it. Practical resources: Works council (BetrVG §75, Q043), designated AGG officer, anti-discrimination agency for discrimination-based bullying.
