Friedrich-Georg "Fritz" Thielen (born September 25, 1916 in Bremen ; † June 11, 1993 ibid) was a German politician ( CDU , later DP , GDP and NPD ).

education and profession

After attending a commercial school, Thielen worked in his father's brick factory. From 1936 to 1943 he was the owner of a sawmill in Osterode am Harz . During the Second World War Thielen worked in occupied Ukraine for the brickworks trust management of four brickworks in Krivoy Rog . He was a soldier from 1943 until the end of the war. In 1946 he built his own prefabricated and quick construction factory in Bremer Betonwerk and was a partner and chairman of the supervisory boards of various housing associations.

politics

In 1946 Thielen became a member of the CDU, for which he moved into the Bremen citizenship in 1947 . In 1952 he received the Konrad Adenauer Medal for work in the CDU.

In 1959, a few months before the parliamentary elections, Thielen, Elisabeth Loesche and Cäcilie Triebel left the CDU parliamentary group. They switched to the German party. After the merger with the GB / BHE, Thielen briefly became a member of the All-German Party before he joined the group that continued the DP (mainly in Lower Saxony and Bremen) in 1962 and became state chairman in the Hanseatic city. With him as the top candidate, the DP made its last entry into a state parliament in 1963.

In 1964, Thielen and the entire DP parliamentary group of Bremen's citizenship took part in the establishment of the NPD and became its first federal chairman. In 1967 he left the NPD again and reactivated the Bremen regional association of the DP, with which he only achieved 0.9 percent of the votes in the mayor elections in October 1967.
