Friedrich Hölscher (politician)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Wilhelm Hölscher (born June 22, 1935 in Schwelm ; † December 30, 2013 in Hamburg ) was a German politician of the FDP .

Hölscher was a businessman by profession. He joined the FDP in 1966. From 1972 to 1983, Hölscher was a member of the German Bundestag for the FDP in the Stuttgart I constituency, and from November 23, 1982 as a non-attached member of parliament. He was always elected to the Bundestag via the Baden-Württemberg state list. From 1975 to 1977 he was district chairman of the Stuttgart FDP.

Hölscher justified his resignation from the party in November 1982 in a letter to the FDP federal chairman Hans-Dietrich Genscher, among other things, saying that in the next few years he would not be on the side of those who might lead our country into the worst confrontation in the Federal Republic of Germany would. In contrast to the three other members of the Bundestag who also resigned from the FDP at the time because of the so-called turnaround ( Ingrid Matthäus-Maier , Andreas von Schoeler and Günter Verheugen ), Hölscher has neither converted to the SPD nor active as a non-party in an SPD-led government become.
