Life and politics

He is a trained toolmaker . Since 1976 works council at Blohm + Voss , 1976 head of IG Metall trust body, 1980 founder of the working group "Alternative Production", 1986 works council chairman, member of the group works council of Thyssen Ind. AG , advisory board member of IG Metall. Taschenberger was from 1991 to 1996 for the SPD in the Hamburg parliament. There he was on the Committee on Property and Public Enterprises as well as on the Committee on Ports, Economy and Agriculture.

In 1996, Taschenbereger resigned his mandate together with the member of parliament, Peter Kämmerer , because he had aroused great resentment among his parliamentary colleagues in connection with the unemployment benefits applied for. Citizenship MPs who have registered as unemployed are entitled to full unemployment benefits. This is the result of a legal dispute that has ended at the Federal Social Court. A parliamentary affair that had caused a lot of dust in Hamburg's town hall thus came to a legal conclusion.
