Life
After graduating from high school, Tacke studied economics in Freiburg and Berlin from 1971 to 1975 . He then worked as an assistant at the University of Oldenburg , where he received his doctorate in 1982 on developments in the German shipbuilding industry . Until 1990 he was a consultant for economic and environmental policy at the regional association of the DGB in Hanover .
In 1990, after being elected Prime Minister of Lower Saxony , Gerhard Schröder brought Tacke to the Lower Saxony State Chancellery as Head of Section for Economic and Structural Policy. In 1991 Tacke became State Secretary in the Lower Saxony Ministry of Economics, Technology and Transport and in 1998 under Federal Chancellor Schröder he became State Secretary of Werner Müller in the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology .
From 2000, he was also called " Sherpa (chief negotiator) " of the Federal Chancellor for the preparation of the G8 - the World Economic Forum in charge. The State Secretary was considered a pragmatist and a good expert on the energy industry. In 2002, on behalf of Economics Minister Müller, he granted ministerial approval for E.ON's takeover of Ruhrgas AG .
In April 2004, Tacke was traded as a possible successor to Ernst Welteke as President of the Deutsche Bundesbank .
At the end of 2004, Tacke gave up his post as State Secretary and became Chairman of the Management Board at the electricity supply company STEAG, a wholly-owned subsidiary of RAG Aktiengesellschaft , in which E.ON also has a stake. From June 2003 to December 31, 2008, RAG was headed by its former boss Werner Müller. The reason given were Tackes' differences with the second State Secretary in the Ministry Georg-Wilhelm Adamowitsch , a close confidante of the then Federal Minister of Economics and Labor , Wolfgang Clement .
In 2009 he became a member of the “Corporate Finance Steering Council” in the German Economic Fund .
He is the father of the television presenter Sarah Tacke .
