Friedrich Wilhelm Luebke

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Wilhelm Lübke (born August 25, 1887 in Enkhausen ; † October 16, 1954 in Augaard ) was a German politician ( CDU ) and Prime Minister of Schleswig-Holstein from 1951 to 1954 .

Life

Friedrich Wilhelm Lübke - son of Friedrich-Wilhelm Lübke (1855–1902) and Karoline Lübke, b. Becker (1859–1922) - was the older brother of Federal President Heinrich Lübke (1894–1972). The father worked as a shoemaker and as a sideline farmer. Friedrich Wilhelm Lübke went to sea at the age of thirteen. He acquired the helmsman's license and in 1913 the captain's license for a large voyage . Lübke published his experiences in seafaring stories. During the First World War , Lübke served as a sea lieutenant in the 1st submarine flotilla. Because the merchant fleet had to be abandoned after the Versailles Treaty of 1919, Lübke bought a farm in Augaard south of Flensburg , which he managed as a farmer from 1922 until his death. From 1925 Lübke worked in management positions in the economic and political organizations of farmers' associations. He played a leading role in building 500 rural settlements.

During the Second World War Lübke was deployed from 1942 to 1945 in the rank of lieutenant captain as head of the department in Aarhus / Denmark . After 1945 he participated in the founding of the CDU in Schleswig-Holstein , of which he was state chairman from 1951 to 1954. As District Administrator of the Flensburg-Land district - he held the office from February 1946 until his election as Prime Minister in June 1951 - the Association for Adult Education and Libraries was re-established under Lübke in 1946 , which is now called the German Border Association . On September 3, 1946, Lübke was elected chairman of the association. In this capacity he tried to counter the influence of the Danish minority in southern Schleswig through cultural and social work .

Friedrich Wilhelm Lübke was married. The marriage has three children.

Office of the Prime Minister

From 1946 to 1950 and from September 12, 1954 until his death on October 16, 1954, Lübke was a member of the Schleswig-Holstein state parliament . When Prime Minister Walter Bartram had to resign after almost a year in government because the BHE (Federation of Expellees and Disenfranchised) withdrew his confidence, Lübke was elected as his successor in the office of Prime Minister of Schleswig-Holstein on June 25, 1951 . Since the electoral bloc consisting of CDU, FDP and DP did not have a majority of its own, Lübke failed in the first two ballots. He was elected in the third ballot because he had obtained a relative majority. However, only 28 MPs voted for and 37 against him. As a result, however, Lübke succeeded in renewing the coalition with the BHE. He was able to present his cabinet on August 13, 1951, in which ministers from the BHE were again represented.

As Prime Minister Lübke operated the economic reconstruction of the state of Schleswig-Holstein and the structurally weak north-west region through the North program . After Lübke's resignation due to illness in October 1954, the Landtag elected Kai-Uwe von Hassel as Prime Minister on October 11, 1954.
