Eckhard Günter Wandel (born November 24, 1942 in Tübingen ) is a German economic and social historian , entrepreneur , manager and business consultant .

Life

Wandel's father was the entrepreneur Friedrich Martin Wandel, his mother Hilde Wandel, née Hornung. Friedrich Wandel was the managing partner of the knitwear factory Hornung & Wandel in Kirchentellinsfurt until 1968 . Eckhard Wandel studied economics and business administration in Tübingen and Berlin and also attended the State Engineering School for Textiles in Reutlingen (now Reutlingen University ) for two semesters . In 1968 he received a doctoral scholarship in the USA and in 1970 published his dissertation The importance of the United States of America for the German reparations problem 1924–1929 .

After his father left the management, Wandel took over his position as managing partner of Hornung & Wandel in 1969 and continued this position until 1973.

In 1974, Wandel entered an employment relationship at the University of Tübingen, namely at the Chair of Economic and Social History, which was then occupied by Karl Erich Born . He worked there as a research assistant until 1976 and then as a research assistant until 1981. In 1979 he completed his habilitation, as one of three habilitation candidates during Born's professorship, with the thesis The Origin of the Bank of German Countries and the German Currency Reform 1948 and received the Venia legendi for economic and social history. He was now able to use the title of Privatdozent and also represented Born's chair in 1979/1980. From 1981 to 1985 he was appointed professor for economic and social history at the University of Tübingen ( grade C2 ). This employment relationship ended on March 31, 1985.

From April 1, 1985, Wandel was again an entrepreneur as well as managing director and board member of various companies. On September 19, 1985, he was awarded the title of “adjunct professor” , which he led until 1996. From 1991 to 1994 he was the liquidator of a total of 28 companies in the GDR on behalf of the Treuhandanstalt . Change is said to have been one of the highest paid liquidators on behalf of the Treuhandanstalt. The journalist Michael Jürgs published figures have received a progress report from the "Office of Special Tasks" the THA in 1992, alleging transformation has been in a ranking of the liquidators in eighth place and over ten million DM for his work. Of this, a good six million DM were claimed as “costs for qualified employees”. However, this is only a provisional amount. The journalist Otto Köhler later stated a total amount of twenty million DM, but without breaking it down.

About ten years after the end of his temporary professorship, Wandel lost the right to use the title “professor” with effect from February 13, 1996. He lost his teaching license and faculty membership.

Later he was managing director of the “Dr. Wandel Unternehmensberatung GmbH ", which was finally liquidated in 2013.
