Bruno Brandes (born March 27, 1910 in Groß Ilsede ; † June 21, 1985 in Bischofsgrün ) was a German lawyer and politician ( CDU ).

Life

Brandes was born the son of a farmer in Groß Ilsede. After graduating from secondary school in Peine in 1929 , he began studying law and political science at the universities in Freiburg im Breisgau , Munich , Berlin and Göttingen , which he completed with two state exams. From 1939 to 1945 he took part in the Second World War as an officer . At the end of the war he was taken prisoner, from which he was released in October 1945. Since 1946 he worked as a lawyer in Holzminden and in 1953 he was licensed as a notary .

On May 1, 1933, Bruno Brandes joined the NSDAP ( membership number 3,063,690). After the Second World War, Brandes joined the CDU in Holzminden.

Brandes had been mayor and council member of the city ​​of Holzminden and a member of the district council of the district of Holzminden since 1956 . He was a member of the Lower Saxony state parliament from 1963 until his death. Here he was chairman of the CDU parliamentary group from 1965 to 1970 and from 1976 to 1982. From 1973 to 1978 he was chairman of the Legal and Constitutional Committee and from 1982 to 1985 he was President of the Landtag and from 1981 to 1985 also as District Administrator of the Holzminden district.

In the Bundestag election in 1969 he was elected to the German Bundestag , but renounced his mandate on October 29, 1969 in order to remain in Lower Saxony state politics. Brandes was a member of the Lower Saxony state parliament in the 5th to 10th electoral period from May 20, 1963 to June 21, 1985. As chairman of the CDU parliamentary group he was from May 18, 1965 to June 20, 1970 and from February 13, 1976 to Active June 20, 1982. He was also deputy chairman of the CDU parliamentary group from June 18, 1974 to February 13, 1976. He was elected President of the Lower Saxony parliament between June 22, 1982 and June 21, 1985. Brandes was chairman of the Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs from June 26, 1963 to June 20, 1978, and chairman of the committee of rules of procedure from July 6, 1967 to June 20, 1970.

After the 1967 election the NPD had a ten-member parliamentary group, but Bruno Brandes managed to persuade several MPs to convert to the CDU in order to overthrow the Social Democratic Prime Minister Georg Diederichs of the SPD / CDU state government. Although he did not succeed in doing this, it led to early elections in 1970 with the subsequent sole government of the SPD under Alfred Kubel and earned him the nickname "Bird of Prey". It is believed that he then bought Ernst Albrecht the necessary votes in 1976, many suspect, so that he was elected despite a majority from the SPD and FDP against their candidate Helmut Kasimier .

In the year before his death, he came under political pressure because it became public that he had operated his private zoo in Schießhaus near Holzminden, which had existed since 1955, without a permit, which was prescribed by a Lower Saxony nature conservation law of 1981.
