The CDU Saxony is the regional association of the CDU in the Free State of Saxony and has been the dominant party there since the fall of the Wall , which provided all of the Prime Ministers . With around 11,000 members, at the end of 2016 it was the largest state association of a party in Saxony and the largest state association of the CDU in eastern Germany. Michael Kretschmer has been the state chairman since December 9, 2017 .

history

founding

As early as June 10, 1945, earlier than the Western Allies in their sectors, the Soviet Military Administration in Germany ( SMAD ) had approved the establishment of anti-fascist-democratic parties in the Soviet occupation zone in order to influence the process of party formation in Germany via the party headquarters in Berlin .

The CDU Saxony was founded on July 21, 1945 as the Christian Social People's Party in Dresden . On August 21, at the request of the SMAD, it was renamed the Christian Democratic Union of Germany and licensed as a state party. Hugo Hickmann was elected as the first chairman , Friedrich Koring and Otto Freitag became his deputies . On 23/24. The first regular party congress took place in February 1946. Hickmann and his deputies were confirmed and Franz Jensch elected as a further deputy.

In the beginning, the CDU Saxony, like its sister parties in the West, represented a Christian-social policy aimed at parliamentary-democratic conditions. She stood up for the reunification of Germany and was in constant dispute with the KPD / SED and their claim to leadership supported by the SMAD.

On June 13, 1946, the SMAD appointed a consultative assembly as a preliminary parliament . The CDU Saxony received only 10 out of 70 mandates. The majority was made up of SED members.

The establishment of the party and the electoral and membership canvassing was systematically hindered by the SMAD. The CDU was allowed to run in the local elections in the spring of 1946; Their organizational basis was noticeably weakened by the delayed approval of the local and district associations. The head of the censorship and propaganda department of the SMAD, Sergei Ivanovich Tjulpanov , instructed the regional departments of the SMAD in a secret order not to "formally prohibit the establishment of bourgeois party groups". Instead, “various formal pretexts” should be found “in order to keep their number limited”. The effect of this policy was shown in the development of the local groups of the CDU Saxony. Although the nationwide establishment of CDU local groups was largely complete by the end of 1946, a considerable number were not allowed to be politically active.

year Number of local groups of which registered of which not registered
December 1945 272
August 1946 1019 592 427
December 1946 1345 753 592
December 1947 1219 801 318
December 1947 1342

The CDU was only able to draw up lists for local elections in 1946 in 20% of the municipalities, while the SED was approved nationwide. The democratic parties were also clearly disadvantaged with regard to the allocation of paper and printing capacity. In addition to leaflets and posters, this primarily affected the CDU newspaper Die Union , whose circulation was kept artificially low by allocating paper.

In the Saxon state elections on October 20, 1946 , the SMAD's policy of disability continued. Nevertheless, the CDU received 23.3% of the vote and 28 seats in the Saxon state parliament in the election . Given the circumstances of the election, the fact that the SED did not win an absolute majority was considered a severe defeat.

The substantive party work was subject to surveillance by SMAD and SED. The prerequisite for admission was the willingness to work in the Democratic Bloc . This was founded in Saxony at the state level on August 29, 1945 and comprised the four approved parties. The block served to coordinate the political positions of the parties and acted as an instrument with which the SMAD prevented an effective opposition to the SED. The SMAD was also represented with liaison officers at all meetings of the CDU parliamentary group in the state parliament. Confidential advice was impossible.

The SMAD also influenced the personnel policy of the Saxon CDU. The state manager of the CDU Saxony, Hermann Voigt , had to resign in October 1946 under pressure from SMAD.

The cooperation between the CDU regional associations was also limited. The Christian Democratic Union of Germany existed at the Soviet Zone level . An all-German CDU could not exist because of the licensing provisions of the occupying powers. Until the Eastern CDU was brought into line, the political work of the Union was coordinated throughout the Reich in the "Zone Liaison Committee". The CDU representatives of the SBZ were prevented from participating here by the SMAD.

Uniformity and bloc party

With the dismissal of Jakob Kaiser as chairman of the CDU in the Soviet Zone, the possibilities of party work in Saxony were further restricted. From February 1948 onwards, CDU assemblies were only allowed to be held in Saxony after the SMAD had previously approved the speeches and statements. This should prevent solidarity addresses from being sent to Kaiser. Hickmann pursued a policy of indulgence and compromise and tried to use the party's diminishing freedom. Nevertheless, the Saxon CDU emphasized its independence. In 1948 the CDU rejected z. B. canceled the nationalization of cinemas and called for free elections for 1949.

The fact that Hickmann questioned the leadership role of the SED on January 6, 1950 in the Saxon state executive and warned that the SED's policy would lead to the division of Germany was the reason for violent attacks against him. The SED insulted him as the “stooge of the West German CDU” and “Anglo-American imperialism”. On January 23, 1950, the pressure was increased again: SED members occupied the state office of the CDU in Dresden and threatened with the murder of Hickmann. On January 30, 1950, Hickmann resigned from his party offices. As a result, many MPs and board members fled to the West. B. the treasurer of the regional association, Walter Bergmann, the head of the CDU educational institution in Blankenburg / Harz, Josef Bock , the state parliament member Carl Günther Ruland and finance minister Gerhard Rohner . Other board members like Bernhard Singer stayed in the GDR but lost their party offices and mandates. In the summer of 1950, Hickmann was excluded from the Saxon CDU, which had meanwhile been largely aligned .

His successor as party chairman was Josef Rambo . He served from June 1950 until his escape in September of the same year. This escape also led to a new wave of purges. Other MPs and board members such as the Saxon Minister for Trade and Supply Georg Knabe and Liselotte Pieser left the GDR in 1951.

The CDU members who had fled from Saxony organized in the west in the Landsmannschaft Sachsen of the CDU in exile . From 1950 to 1962 Ernst-Günter Haß was the spokesman for the Landsmannschaft .

With Rudolph Schulze (supply and agriculture) and Carl Ulbricht (finance minister), the CDU Saxony, which has become a bloc party, continued to have two ministers in the Saxon cabinet.

With the dissolution of the states in the GDR , the history of the CDU Saxony also ended until 1990. For the further history of the CDU block party see here .

After the turn

Founding document of the CDU Saxony 1990

The change made it possible for the Eastern CDU to break out of the imposed role as a bloc party and to pursue a self-determined policy again. On March 3, 1990, the regional association of Saxony was re-established at the first regional party conference in Dresden and Klaus Reichenbach was elected chairman with 82% of the delegate's votes. His opponent Arnold Vaatz received 18%.

The Saxon State Association of Democratic Awakening , founded on June 23, 1990 and chaired by Horst Rasch , was merged with the CDU with a resolution of the majority faction of the Saxon Democratic Awakening on July 28 and the decision of the 2nd state party conference of the CDU on September 1, 1990. The regional association of the DBD was also merged with the CDU on the same day.

In the state elections on October 14, 1990 , the CDU received an absolute majority of the votes and 92 seats in the state parliament . On October 27th, Kurt Biedenkopf was elected Prime Minister by the state parliament. Biedenkopf's successors were (as of May 2020) exclusively CDU politicians (list here ). Biedenkopf was also chairman of the CDU Saxony from 1991 to 1995.

In the state elections on September 11, 1994 , the CDU also received 58.1% of the vote and 77 of the 120 state parliament seats. Biedenkopf remained Prime Minister; In 1995 he handed over the state chairmanship of the CDU to Fritz Hähle .

In the state elections on September 19, 1999 , the CDU received 56.9% of the votes and 76 state parliament seats.

With over 60 percent of the seats, the CDU Saxony was the largest CDU parliamentary group in Germany in the second and third legislative periods (in relation to the total number of seats).

On September 15, 2001 Georg Milbradt became chairman of the CDU Saxony at a special party conference. Biedenkopf had favored Agriculture Minister Steffen Flath ; Milbradt had won the battle vote against Flath. On January 16, 2002, Biedenkopf announced his resignation as Prime Minister on April 18, 2002. In March 2002, the CDU Saxony nominated Milbradt as a candidate for the office of Prime Minister; Milbradt was elected by the state parliament on April 18, 2002 (→  Milbradt I cabinet ).

In the state elections on September 19, 2004 , the CDU received only 41.1% of the vote and 55 of 124 state parliament seats. A state parliament seat was missing for a coalition with the FDP. The CDU and the SPD formed a coalition and on November 10, 2004 re-elected Milbradt as Prime Minister (→  Milbradt II cabinet ).

Stanislaw Tillich became the new CDU state chairman on May 24, 2008 and also Prime Minister of the Free State of Saxony on May 28, 2008.

In the 2009 state elections , the CDU received 40.1% of the vote, with Tillich as the top candidate for the first time. It won 58 of the 60 direct constituencies. CDU and FDP Saxony formed a coalition ( Tillich II cabinet ).

The top candidate for the state elections on August 31, 2014 was again Tillich. The CDU won 59 of the 60 direct electoral districts and received 39.4% of the second vote. Because the FDP left the Saxon state parliament, the CDU had to look for a new coalition partner. After exploratory talks with the Greens and the SPD, the CDU and SPD formed a coalition. The coalition agreement was signed by both sides in the Ständehaus on November 10, 2014 , Prime Minister Stanislaw Tillich was elected by the members of the 6th Saxon State Parliament on November 12, 2014 and the Tillich III cabinet was appointed on November 13, 2014.

In October 2017, Stanislaw Tillich announced his resignation as prime minister and state chairman. He proposed Michael Kretschmer as his successor for both offices . On December 9, 2017, Kretschmer was elected as the new state chairman with 90.1 percent at the 32nd state party conference in Löbau . His election as Prime Minister of the Free State of Saxony took place on December 13, 2017 in the Saxon state parliament .

program

Currently, three larger programs describe the goals and positions of the CDU Saxony.

The basic program “Serving Saxony - Securing the Future. Innovation, Prosperity, Justice ”describes the principles and program of the CDU Saxony and was decided on November 26th, 2011 at the 26th state party conference in Plauen.

The government program “With Courage. With foresight. Together ”for the years 2014–2019 was decided at the 29th state party conference on June 28, 2014 in Dresden. It was the election manifesto of the CDU Saxony for the state elections on August 31, 2014.

After the state elections in 2014 , the party found a coalition partner in the SPD Saxony for the 2014-2019 legislative period. Both parties agreed on the joint coalition agreement “Shaping Saxony's Future”. At the 5th special party conference on November 7, 2014 in Radebeul, the CDU base approved the contract without dissenting votes with two abstentions. The contract was signed on November 10, 2014 by the CDU state chairman, Prime Minister Stanislaw Tillich , the CDU parliamentary group chairman Frank Kupfer and the then SPD state and parliamentary group chairman Martin Dulig in the Ständehaus in Dresden.

In addition to these three larger programs, the state executive committee and the state party congress adopt papers on current political issues at irregular intervals.
