Life

Hans Dieter Griesau, son of a doctor, was drafted into military service in the German Wehrmacht after graduating from Dillmann-Gymnasium Stuttgart in 1944 and at the end of World War II in 1945 he was taken prisoner of war by the British, from which he was released in August 1945. After his release, he worked as an agricultural assistant in various companies and graduated in 1947 from the examination to become an agricultural assistant. Subsequently, in 1947 he began studying agricultural sciences at the Hohenheim Agricultural University , which he graduated with a diploma in 1950. Then he became a research associate in the Federal Ministry of Finance , where between 1950 and 1952 he worked for Ministerialrat Emil Hans Isenberg on a special research assignment from the Ministry.

In 1952 Griesau became an assistant officer in Department IV Agriculture of the Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Forests and worked there until 1954. On January 27, 1954, he completed his doctorate in agricultural sciences at the Agricultural Faculty of the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn with the dissertation The wage quota according to Isenberg in Western European agriculture with special consideration of the Federal Republic of Germany . In 1954 he was appointed managing director of the Agriculture and Forestry Research Council. V. or from 1960 to 1962 managing director of the resulting Research Council for Food, Agriculture and Forests e. V. based in Bad Godesberg . Hans Griesau then returned to the Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Forestry in June 1962 and was there briefly until 1963 as personal assistant to State Secretary Rudolf Hüttebräuker . He then acted between 1963 and 1967 as director of the Bavarian Farmers 'Association (BBV) and from 1967 to 1969 managing director of the Hessian Farmers' Association.

In 1969, Hans Dieter Griesau, who was a member of the FDP , succeeded Fritz Neef as State Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Forestry and held this office until January 1973. As State Secretary he was also head of a project group for a more comprehensive program and an im Spring 1971 draft law for nature conservation and landscape management. The manageable scope for nature conservation and landscape management of the emergency program was criticized, however, so that he expressly emphasized that the measures described there had to adhere to the existing legal and financial framework and were limited to what was feasible in the short term. However, since a new legal regulation is necessary in the case of nature conservation and landscape management, one should have limited oneself to these announcements. However, he conceded “a lot of catching up to do”, “even if it is not assumed that the situation is zero”. The work has now started.

Most recently, Griesau was Günter Grünewald's successor from 1973 until his death in 1978 as chairman of the board of the Deutsche Siedlungs- und Landesrentenbank , a public law specialist bank based in Bonn . The appointment as chairman of the board of the DSL-Bank, proposed by the then Federal Minister for Food, Agriculture and Forests, Josef Ertl , met with criticism from the Federal Audit Office , which had called for the board to be downsized.
