biography

Swearing in Kühl as the new Rhineland-Palatinate finance minister in the plenary hall of the state parliament in Mainz on July 10, 2009

After graduating from high school in 1981 and completing military service, Kühl completed a degree in economics from 1982 to 1988 at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz . Until 1993 this was followed by an employment as a research assistant at the local institute for finance. In 1994, Kühl received his PhD with Rolf Peffekoven as Dr. rer. pole. The title of the dissertation is Strategies for Financing Remediation of Contaminated Sites .

From 1993 to 2003, Kühl worked in the Rhineland-Palatinate Ministry of Science and Further Education under Jürgen Zöllner (partly also responsible for education, research and culture due to changes in the departmental structure) in positions with increasing responsibility, so he rose from the speaker to the management of the ministerial office up to the head of the central department. From 2003 until his appointment as State Secretary in 2006, Kühl was Head of the Representation of the State of Rhineland-Palatinate to the Federal Government and the European Union .

In August 2018, Kühl took over the management of the German Institute for Urban Studies (difu) in Berlin.

Kühl is single and has one child.

politics

In 2006, Kühl was appointed State Secretary in the Rhineland-Palatinate Ministry of Economics, Transport, Agriculture and Viticulture .

After Ingolf Deubels (SPD) resigned due to the unsuccessful private financing of the “ Nürburgring 2009” project, Kühl was appointed the new finance minister on July 7, 2009. He was sworn in for his new office on July 10th. Alexander Schweitzer (SPD) succeeded him as State Secretary for Economic Affairs . In 2014 he himself became a victim of the Nürburgring affair. His successor was the previous Minister for Education, Science, Continuing Education and Culture , Doris Ahnen .

On August 9, 2016 it was announced that Kühl, as the successor to Michael Hartmann, would run for the SPD as a direct candidate in the Mainz constituency . At the constituency conference on October 25, 2016, Kühl was elected candidate with 96 percent of the vote. In the 2017 federal election, Kühl achieved 28% of the votes in the constituency and was thus defeated by Ursula Groden-Kranich (CDU), who received 35.7% of the votes. Since he was ranked 10th on the state list, he would actually have moved up to replace Katarina Barley in the Bundestag in July 2019 , but by resigning, Isabel Mackensen, who was placed after him, moved into the Bundestag instead .
