From 1990 to 2014, the CDU always provided the Thuringian Prime Minister , ruling with an absolute majority for ten years. Until 2019, it was always the largest parliamentary group in the Thuringian state parliament .

program
Policy
At the initiative of the then Secretary General of the CDU Thuringia, Mike Mohring , the basic program of the CDU Thuringia "What unites us" was unanimously adopted at the 22nd state party conference from June 15 to 17, 2007 in Saalfeld . It describes the basic values of the CDU Thuringia, such as freedom, justice and solidarity. Furthermore, frameworks for many political issues can be identified in the program and a commitment to the free democratic basic order, the social market economy , federalism and local self-government . During the preparation of the program, several forums were held with the participation of members and well-known speakers. One of the discussions was with the then President of the German Bundestag, Norbert Lammert, on the subject of “Home and Patriotism”.
Thuringia 2020
In 2010, the CDU Thuringia started a discussion process on the future of the Free State of Thuringia under the title “Thuringia 2020”. The future DIALOG in the Jena Zeiss Planetarium started on October 8, 2010, when members, MPs, members of the state government and local politicians came together. As part of the program, all members of the ZukunftsWERKSTÄTTEN were able to actively contribute to the work on various topics. In the workshops, perspectives, ideas and concepts in individual policy areas for 2020 were developed.
Thuringia Plan 2014–2019
The Thuringia Plan was the government or electoral program of the CDU Thuringia for the years 2014 to 2019 and reflected the most important content-related positions of the party. Among other things, it was in favor of maintaining community-oriented structures in the state, binding grades and top marks , hiring at least 2,500 new teachers in Thuringia by 2019, introducing a master’s bonus and writing intergenerational equity as a national goal in the Thuringian constitution.
history
founding
The CDU Thuringia was founded on July 20, 1945 in Weimar . The first state chairman was Max Kolter , represented by Georg Grosse . In July 1945, Max Kolter was appointed Vice President of the State Government under Prime Minister Rudolf Paul by the Soviet Military Administration in Germany (SMAD) . The first conflict that the CDU had with the occupying power was over land reform . The CDU was critical of the expropriations. Max Kolter had to pay for the resistance against the land reform with his life. On December 4, 1945, he was dismissed from his office and arrested by the SMAD. He died in custody on December 22, 1945.
From May 1, 1946, the CDU Thuringia was able to publish its own newspaper, the Thüringer Tageblatt . However, by allocating little paper and printing capacity, SED and SMAD knew how to keep circulation and impact low.
In the semi-free state elections in 1946 , the CDU only came third after the SED and LDP with 18.9 percent and 19 seats.
Uniformity and bloc party
With the dismissal of Jakob Kaiser as chairman of the CDU in the Soviet Zone in December 1947, the possibilities of party work in Thuringia were further restricted. From February 1948, CDU assemblies were only allowed to be held in Thuringia if the SMAD had approved the speeches and statements beforehand. This should prevent solidarity addresses from being sent to Kaiser. Officers from the SMAD were also always present at board and parliamentary group meetings of the CDU Thuringia. This made it impossible to form opinions freely. On December 23, 1947, in the presence of Soviet Major Popolowski, the state executive adopted a resolution directed against Kaiser in an open vote. A “wave of purges” led to the dismissal or the forced resignation of many CDU functionaries. After Hans Lukaschek was forced to flee to the West in 1946 , the SMAD called on Minister of Supply Georg Grosse to resign on February 14, 1948 . By March 5, 1948, twelve of the 25 district chairmen of the CDU had been deposed or forced to resign. At the state party congress from May 21 to 24, 1948, there was a battle vote for the state chairmanship. Georg Grosse, who confessed to Kaiser, received 149 votes, Siegfried Trommsdorff only 69. The SMAD prohibited Grosse from accepting the office and Trommsdorff remained state chairman.
In the summer of 1948 the democratic parties made the last attempt in the state parliament to demand parliamentary rules of the game. The chairman of the CDU parliamentary group, Karl Magen , criticized the one-sided occupation of the police with SED members and announced a rejection of a draft law by the SED, with which administrative jurisdiction should in fact be abolished. After he was clearly shown through daily interrogations and controls by the SMAD that opposition work would not be tolerated by those in power, he fled to West Germany in June 1948 .
His successor as parliamentary group chairman, Johannes Mebus , together with the parliamentary group chairman of the LDPD, Hermann Becker , again criticized the SED's totalitarian claims to power and the one-sided occupation of the school board posts with SED supporters on July 23, 1948. Becker was arrested during the state parliament session (regardless of his parliamentary immunity) and deported to a labor camp in the Soviet Union. With this measure, SED and SMAD succeeded in breaking the resistance of the democratic parties.
On March 4, 1949, the State Executive Committee who decided conformist CDU the introduction of " democratic centralism" , ie the abolition of intra-party democracy. Elections to party offices now required approval.
Another “wave of purges” ran through the party. The editor-in-chief of Thüringer Tageblatt, Heinz Baumann , was sentenced to 25 years in a labor camp and was replaced by August Bach, who was loyal to the line. The district boards in Erfurt, Eisenach and Saalfeld were deposed, the district chairmen Johann Panther and Peter Mölken were forced to flee to the free west. Grosse also had to flee to the West in August 1949.
In the Thuringian state government, in addition to the office of Vice President (July 1945 to December 4, 1945: Max Kolter ) , the CDU provided the ministers for:
- Forestry (1946: Hans Lukaschek ; February 25, 1950 to November 21, 1950: Herbert Wetzstein )
- Trade and supply (9 October 1947 to 14 February 1948: Georg Grosse ; 14 February 1948 to 6 July 1950: Heinrich Gillessen ; 6 July 1950 to 21 November 1950: Walter Rücker ; 21 November 1950 to 23 April 1950) July 1952: Willy Rutsch )
- Culture and popular education (December 4, 1945 to September 1, 1947: Wilhelm Wolf )
- Traffic (October 9, 1947 to February 25, 1950: Wilhelm Bachem ; February 25, 1950 to October 15, 1950: Hellmut von Oertzen )
With the abolition of the federal states in 1952, the CDU organizations in the newly created districts of Erfurt , Gera and Suhl took the place of the regional association . As in the rest of the GDR , the CDU was part of the National Front as a bloc party until 1990 . That is why it was represented in the district assemblies as well as in the district assemblies and municipal councils by a predetermined number of members. The same applied to the DBD , which was incorporated into the CDU Thuringia in 1990. The bloc parties were also involved in government organs at various levels, including the Council of Ministers and the Council of State of the GDR. The CDU politician Luitpold Steidle , who among other things helped build the NVA , was not only a member of the People's Chamber from 1949 to 1971 , but also GDR Health Minister from 1949 to 1958 and Mayor of Weimar from 1960 to 1969 . The CDU provided the mayors of Weimar from 1946 to 1989. Gerhard Baumgärtel , who held this office from 1982 to 1989, was also a member of the People's Chamber from 1986 to 1990 and from November 1989 to March 1990 the GDR's building minister . Seven of the 17 party congresses of the Eastern CDU took place in Thuringia (Weimar and Erfurt). The CDU had its own real estate, production facilities, holiday facilities and publishing houses in the GDR. In November 1990 the CDU finally renounced the assets of the Eastern CDU and the DBD that had not been acquired under the rule of law .
Most of the members and elected officials of the CDU Thuringia in the first years after the Peaceful Revolution had been members of the Eastern CDU before 1989. As with all former successor organizations of the GDR party system, the number of members has steadily declined since the beginning of the 1990s, from 27,000 in 1991 to 9,500 in 2018. However, the slump was less severe than that of the FDP and the PDS . The CDU Prime Ministers Dieter Althaus and Christine Lieberknecht , who ruled from 2003 to 2014, were also members of the CDU in Thuringia before 1989, as was the current managing director of the regional association, Evelin Groß . The deputy state chairwoman Birgit Diezel belonged to the DBD before 1989. Marion Walsmann can look back on a unique parliamentary career , who was Justice Minister, Finance Minister and Head of the State Chancellery in Thuringia from 2008 to 2013. She sat for the CDU from 1986 to 1990 in the Volkskammer, then from 2004 to 2018 in the Thuringian state parliament and has been a member of the European Parliament since 2019 . With the generation change, however, the number of former block party members among the officials and mandate holders of the CDU Thuringia is now falling sharply.
After the turnaround and German reunification in 1989/1990
After the fall of the Berlin Wall , the Land of Thuringia was restored with the Land Introduction Act of July 22, 1990. Accordingly, the three CDU district associations Erfurt, Gera and Suhl went on in the CDU regional association Thuringia. Josef Duchač , a CDU member since 1957 and responsible for the housing industry in the Gotha district council from 1986 to 1989 , became state representative for Thuringia in August 1990.
In the first free and democratic state election on October 14, 1990 , the CDU ran with Duchač as the top candidate and emerged as the strongest party with 45.5 percent of the votes: With 44 out of 89 seats, only one seat was missing for an absolute majority. On November 8, 1990 Duchač was elected Prime Minister of a CDU-FDP coalition government ( Duchač cabinet ). Of the CDU ministers in this cabinet, three - Hans-Henning Axthelm , Willibald Böck and Christine Lieberknecht - had already belonged to the Eastern CDU before 1989, like Duchač himself . The Minister of Agriculture, Volker Sklenar , came from the Democratic Peasants' Party in Germany , another bloc party that was absorbed into the all-German CDU in 1990. With Hans-Joachim Jentsch and Jochen Lengemann , two ministers came from the West CDU , while Klaus Zeh was the only member of the government to belong to the opposition citizens' movement in the GDR, as a member of the Democratic Awakening founded in 1989 and integrated into the CDU in 1990 . After Stasi allegations, Duchač resigned on January 23, 1992 and Bernhard Vogel became his successor as Prime Minister.
In the 1994 state elections , the CDU was confirmed as the strongest party with slight losses and a result of 42.6 percent. Since the FDP failed at the five percent hurdle , a grand coalition with the SPD came about under the leadership of Vogel. With 51.0 percent of the vote, the CDU achieved an absolute majority in the 1999 state elections and formed a sole government . On June 5, 2003, Dieter Althaus Vogel succeeded him as Prime Minister. In the 2004 state elections , the CDU was unable to repeat its result of the previous election with a 43.0 percent share of the vote, but this result was just enough for an absolute majority in the state parliament.
The planned nomination of Althaus as the top candidate for the state elections in 2009 was overshadowed by his skiing accident on New Year's Day 2009. On March 14, 2009 in Waltershausen he was chosen in absentia as the top candidate. The election on August 30, 2009 brought a clear setback for the CDU: Although it remained the strongest party in the country, it lost more than eleven percentage points, a third of its seats in the state parliament and thus its absolute majority after ten years. Four days after the election, Althaus announced his resignation as Prime Minister and CDU state chairman. Thereupon the presidium of the CDU Thuringia named Christine Lieberknecht unanimously on September 8th, 2009 as candidate of the party for the office of prime minister.
After exploratory talks, the CDU and SPD entered coalition negotiations. On October 20, 2009, the CDU and SPD presented the finished coalition agreement. Both coalition parties approved the treaty at their party congresses on October 25, 2009. At the CDU party congress, Lieberknecht was also elected as the new CDU state chairman with 83.3 percent.
On October 30, 2009, Lieberknecht was elected Prime Minister in the third ballot. For the state elections in Thuringia 2014 , she was elected as the top candidate with 93.2 percent at a state representative assembly of the CDU Thuringia on February 14, 2014. Under their leadership, the CDU achieved 33.5 percent in the election, but remained the strongest force with an increase of 2.3 percentage points. Nevertheless, the government partner SPD decided against the continuation of the black-red coalition under Lieberknecht and for the first formation of a coalition with Die Linke and Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen . The red-red-green majority elected on 5 December 2014 left's leading candidate Bodo Ramelow as prime minister in the wake of Christine Lieberknecht, who had previously announced not to run more than CDU party chairman at the upcoming state convention.
The CDU's 24-year reign in Thuringia ended with the swearing-in of the red-red-green cabinet in the Erfurt state parliament. On December 13, 2014, Mike Mohring , who had chaired the CDU state parliamentary group since 2008, was elected state chairman of the party with 89.8 percent of the vote.
Although Mohring announced in January 2019 that he was being treated for cancer, he signaled his willingness to lead the CDU Thuringia in the next state election campaign. On May 4, 2019, he was elected the top candidate for the state election in Thuringia 2019 with 94.2 percent of the delegate's votes. On June 11, 2019, Mohring announced his recovery from cancer. The state elections on October 27, 2019 led to a turning point for the CDU Thuringia. The party lost 11.8 points to 21.7 percent and was only the third strongest force behind the left of Prime Minister Ramelow and the right-wing populist AfD . Neither the red-red-green government coalition nor the Zimbabwe coalition of the CDU, SPD, Greens and FDP that Mohring was aiming for achieved a majority. The Thuringian CDU state executive rejected a coalition with the left and a cooperation with the AfD. On November 6, 2019, Mike Mohring was re-elected chairman of the parliamentary group, which has now been reduced to 21 mandates, with 66 percent.
The fact that large parts of the CDU parliamentary group, together with the AfD and the FDP, elected Thomas Kemmerich as Prime Minister in the third ballot on February 5, 2020 , led to the government crisis in Thuringia in 2020 .
Historical commission
In 2015, the CDU Thuringia, the party's first East German regional association, appointed an independent historical commission to scientifically analyze the history of the CDU in the state of Thuringia and the resulting districts of Erfurt, Gera and Suhl in the Soviet Zone and GDR.
The ten-person commission includes, among others, the Thuringian state commissioner for coming to terms with the SED dictatorship Christian Dietrich , Ehrhart Neubert from the Federal Foundation for the coming to terms with the SED dictatorship and Hermann Wentker from the Institute for Contemporary History . The commission is headed by Jörg Ganzenmüller , chairman of the Ettersberg Foundation . The historian Bertram Triebel is researching for the commission . The activity is supported by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation . To do this, Triebel sifts through files from the East CDU in the archive for Christian-Democratic Politics, as well as documents from the SED in the Thuringian state archive and at the SAPMO in the Federal Archives in Berlin as well as documents from the MfS at the BStU . In addition, his work is based on interviews with contemporary witnesses. The results are to be presented to the public in the form of a written report in 2018 and lectures.
In addition to the scientific work of the commission, there are public forums for contemporary witnesses on which members and officials report on their work in the party. The first contemporary witness forum in October 2016 at Ettersburg Castle dealt with the founding and transformation of the CDU from 1945 to 1961. The second event in October 2017 in the Ursuline Convent in Erfurt dealt with the history of the CDU from the building of the Wall on August 13, 1961 to the mid-1980s. In May 2018 a final forum for contemporary witnesses took place, which dealt with the changes in the party in the Peaceful Revolution of 1989/1990.
