from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gundolf-Joachim Fleischer (born July 22, 1943 in Wechselburg , today District of Central Saxony / Saxony ) is a German lawyer and politician ( CDU ).

Life

Fleischer's grandfather Paul Fleischer was a member of the Weimar constituent assembly and a member of the Reichstag. His mother, Marie-Agnes Countess von Schönburg-Glauchau, belonged to the West Saxon noble family Schönburg . Fleischer spent his youth in southern Baden, where he attended elementary school and the Fürstenberg high school in Donaueschingen . He later moved to the Berthold-Gymnasium in Freiburg im Breisgau , where he graduated from high school in 1962. He then studied history and philosophy and, from 1963, law at the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg. In Freiburg he became a member of the Catholic student association KDStV Hohenstaufen Freiburg im Breisgau in the CV . He later became a member of the KAV Capitolina Rome . In 1967 and 1971 he passed his state exams. Then he was a research assistant at the Criminological Institute in Freiburg.

His political career began in 1970 when he joined the CDU. In the same year he became a councilor in Ebnet, today a district of Freiburg, and three years later he became a district councilor in the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald district , to which he belonged until 1990. In 1975 he was elected general secretary of his party in Baden-Württemberg for four years.

In 1976, Fleischer was elected to the state parliament of Baden-Württemberg , to which he was a member until 2011, temporarily as deputy chairman of the CDU parliamentary group.

In June 1988, Prime Minister Lothar Späth brought him into his cabinet. First he was political state secretary in the state ministry until September 1989 , then in the ministry for economics, medium-sized businesses and technology and from July 1990 to June 1992, most recently under Prime Minister Erwin Teufel , political state secretary in the interior ministry . After the state elections in 2006, Prime Minister Günther Oettinger brought Fleischer into his cabinet and made him the State Secretary in the Ministry of Finance . Fleischer resigned from this position on February 11, 2010.

Fleischer, who is not married, holds several honorary posts after his political mandate expires. Among other things, he is President of the Badischer Sportbund in Freiburg, Vice-President of the Baden-Württemberg State Sports Association , Chairman of the Freiburg-Black Forest Olympic Training Center, President of the Nordic Center Notschrei, and a member of the Supervisory Board of the Caritas Association of Freiburg City.

criticism

In spring 2010, according to reports by Spiegel and the Stuttgarter Zeitung, allegations of corruption were raised against Fleischer. The gravel extraction for a flood construction project on the Upper Rhine was delayed by two years despite the recommendation of the Federal Audit Office , because a group of gravel and road construction companies from Mueller's constituency would not have had a chance. It later became known that Fleischer is a voluntary member of the Alcadama GmbH advisory board. This company owns the Schotterwerk GmbH, one of the ballast works that applied for orders as part of the flood protection project. In 2006 it made a donation of 10,500 euros to Fleischer's CDU district association. The SPD then demanded Fleischer's resignation in the state parliament and raised serious allegations against him.

Preliminary investigations by the Freiburg public prosecutor's office revealed that there were no indications of an unlawful agreement between butcher and a gravel and construction company. Therefore, “in the absence of an initial suspicion”, no preliminary investigation was initiated against Fleischer.

The Badische Zeitung and the Freiburg weekly report had to withdraw allegations of corruption raised against Fleischer in a “declaration of cease and desist” and “a correction”.

Fleischer ended his work as State Secretary for Finance at the same time as Prime Minister Oettinger's term of office ended.

On February 11, 2010, Fleischer announced that he was not available for a new appointment to the Mappus cabinet. Fleischer kept his state parliament mandate until the end of the legislative period. He is the member of the state parliament in Baden-Württemberg with the longest term of office to date (as of November 2018).
