Life

After high school and basic military service , he began studying law at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität in Bonn , which he completed in 1989 with the first state examination in law. He passed his second state examination in law in 1994 after completing a legal internship at the Cologne Higher Regional Court . In the same year he was charged with a thesis on "The impact of the new Constitutional Court case law on the right to audit the judicial examination decisions and the future design of audit procedures with particular emphasis on legal state examinations" doctorate .

On November 1, 2006, he succeeded Lutz Irrgang, who had retired, as director of the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution in Hessen , based in Wiesbaden (until spring 2010). The then Minister of the Interior of Hesse , Volker Bouffier , said in his inauguration about Eisvogel: “The aggressive agitation and indoctrination of Islamists throughout Germany and unfortunately also in Hesse is and remains a major challenge for the protection of the constitution. I am therefore convinced that with the terror expert Dr. Eisvogel to have made an excellent choice. ”It is also an important task of the new director to create the conditions for a Hessian anti-terror file. His targeted establishment of a working group against Islamist terror in Hesse was subsequently criticized as a “poaching campaign”.

In the course of the debate on the extension of the so-called anti-terror laws in the German Bundestag in October 2011, Eisvogel, as the invited expert, described the draft law as "very successful in its entirety".
