politics

Ruland was initially a member of the Christian People's Party (CVP) of the Saarland . When the merger with the Center Party (which had already been dissolved again on January 23, 1957) was decided in July 1956 , he - like Franz Schneider and Jakob Feller - was one of the opponents of this alliance. After joining the Federal Republic of Germany and the temporary constitution of the CVP as the Saarland state association of the CSU , he briefly belonged to the Christian Socialists. On July 21, 1957, he was elected deputy state chairman of the CSU / CVP. As part of the understanding between most of the CVP members and the CDU-Saar and the associated split-off of the separatist remaining CVP, which later called itself SVP , Ruland took the path of the majority and became a CDU member. At the time of Saarland's independence, he was an opponent of the DPS ban and an exponent of the “new course”, which provided for stronger economic ties to the Federal Republic of Germany.

MP

From 1955 to 1960 Ruland was a member of the state parliament in Saarland. In January 1957, Ruland was sent to the German Bundestag for the CVP by the Saarland state parliament , and on May 23, 1957, he became a guest of the CDU / CSU parliamentary group . In the Bundestag election in the same year he ran behind Hermann Mathias Görgen in second place on the CSU / CVP list, which was enough to return to parliament, which he then belonged to until his death for the CDU.

Public offices

1951 Ruland joined Johannes Hoffmann's cabinet as Minister of Economics . With the formation of the Heimatbund coalition under Hubert Ney , he left the state government in 1955.
