Life

Schepers studied at the Technical University of Clausthal and the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn and graduated as a physicist . Later he was a scientific assistant at the Bonn Institute for Radiation and Nuclear Physics. His interests were low energy nuclear physics and the use of data processing systems in nuclear physics and medicine. He also published some work in these areas. In 1969 he received a doctorate in core physics from Theo Mayer-Kuckuk. rer. nat. PhD .

Soon afterwards he left physics and became a research assistant in the administration of the German Bundestag : as government director he was head of the electronic data processing department , later as ministerial advisor head of the data processing group of the scientific services of the German Bundestag and then deputy head of the scientific documentation department. He wrote essays on the use of data processing in administration, especially in parliaments.

In order to avoid the disadvantage of small parties in the D'Hondt proceedings , he developed a modified allocation of seats and proposed it to the Bundestag in 1980. Since 1980 the ranking method (Schepers) has been used for the allocation of seats in the committees and bodies of the German Bundestag. Since the next electoral term from 1983 onwards, it has been called the proportional method (Sainte-Laguë / Schepers) because it delivers the same results as the Sainte-Laguë method . In the Bremer election law is A process according to Sainte Laguë / Schepers set out in §. 7 Other parliaments use the procedure without explicit naming.
