from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dirk Brouër (born September 12, 1945 in Halle (Saale) ; † November 24, 2016 in Potsdam ) was a German administrative lawyer, ministerial official and Director of the Federal Council from May 1, 2002 to September 30, 2010 .

Life

Brouër studied law in Braunschweig and Göttingen . During his studies he became a member of the Christian student union Wingolf , the Braunschweiger and the Göttingen Wingolf . In the course of the postponement of the Göttingen Wingolf, however, he was not philisted .

From 1974 to 1978 he was initially a judge at the administrative court, then until 1990 consultant and head of division in the Federal Ministry of Justice. After the fall of the Wall, he moved to the Brandenburg Ministry of Justice, where he became head of the “Public Law, Private Law, Legal Policy, Education, Training and Examinations” department. In February 1999, he initially took over the office of State Secretary for Federal and European Affairs, before being appointed representative of the State of Brandenburg at the federal level in October 1999.

At the proposal of the President of the Federal Council, Klaus Wowereit (BR-Drs. 234/02), the Federal Council approved the appointment of Dirk Brouër as Director of the Federal Council with effect from 1 May 2002 in its 774th meeting on March 22, 2002. In the shorthand report it is stated that the decision on the appointment of Brouër was not - as with other personnel decisions in the Federal Council - taken by consensus of all members. The Union-led countries (" B countries ") opposed the occupation of the top administrative office with a candidate proposed by the SPD (" A countries "). The Thuringian Prime Minister, Bernhard Vogel , emphasized, however, that his objections were not directed against Brouër as a person, but were due to the way in which candidates and consensus were found. At the request of Bavaria, a vote was taken by name. The result was very close with 35 to 34 votes.

Dirk Brouër was married and had five sons. He was a member of the supervisory board of Eintracht Braunschweig GmbH & Co. KGaA.
