Willibald Böck (born December 30, 1946 in Bernterode (near Worbis) ; † August 2, 2016 in Breitenworbis ) was a German politician ( CDU ).

Life

Böck was Catholic, married and had five children. In 1965 he completed his training as a forest worker and then studied German and art education. From 1967 to 1984 he was a teacher, then until 1990 mayor of his hometown Bernterode in Eichsfeld .

He belonged to the GDR bloc party CDU , which united in 1989 with the all-German CDU . Since March 1990 he was a member of the first freely elected People's Chamber . He sat in the Thuringian state parliament from October 1990 until the end of the third electoral term (2004). From 1990 to 1992 Böck was the first Thuringian Minister of the Interior . From 1990 to 1993 he was state chairman of the Thuringian CDU. According to his own account, he was the decisive person who encouraged Bernhard Vogel to be elected Minister-President of the Free State of Thuringia in 1992 as the successor to the resigned Josef Duchač .

Böck initially kept his party offices under Vogel and resigned as Minister of the Interior in August 1992 because of a corruption affair in connection with the award of concessions for motorway service stations. After narrowly re-elected at the state party congress in 1993, Vogel also replaced him as party chairman. Five years later, Böck caused another stir when it became known that the state of Thuringia had spent over 500,000 DM in 1991 for the security extension of his private house.

Since he left the political arena, Böck had run the Feine Thüringer art gallery in Erfurt and worked as a management consultant in Germany and abroad. Willibald Böck was also active on a voluntary basis. As President of the Friends of the Central Germany Children's Hospice , he looked after families with terminally ill children.

Since December 2007, Willibald Böck and Christoph Jahn from the Feine Thüringer art gallery have presented a selection of their pictures in the Radisson SAS Hotel Erfurt at various points in the house. The exhibition was designed as a permanent exhibition and admission was free.
