Heinz Ludger Uhlenküken (born November 25, 1928 ; † March 23, 2015 in Schwerte ) was a German local politician ( CDU ), lawyer , alderman and city director, as well as the first representative of the senior city director in the management of the city ​​administration of Cologne (1978–1993) . During the vacancy from 1989 to 1990, he held the office of senior city director.

Life

After studying law at the universities of Marburg and Münster, Uhlenküken joined the North Rhine-Westphalian state administration as a lawyer , where he worked for the district governments in Arnsberg , Aachen and Düsseldorf and most recently at the Ministry of the Interior .

On July 27, 1978, the Cologne city council elected Uhlenküken to succeed Josef Baumann, the head of the property department, as city director for a term of 12 years. His term of office began on October 1, 1978. After leaving City Director Kurt Rossa , he also took over management of the administration from October 1, 1989 to April 20, 1990. Previously, on March 27, 1990, Lothar Ruschmeier was elected by the city council as the new senior city director.

After another election (beginning of the second term on October 1, 1990) as city director, Uhlenküken retired on November 30, 1993. In addition to the city ​​center district office and the land surveying and cadastral office, since April 1, 1991, his area of ​​responsibility has also included the legal office. During his tenure, numerous important decisions were made for the development of the city, whereby he considered the real estate assets of the city under his control from the perspective of the supply policy. Thus, under Uhlenküken's management, the former Gereon freight yard was purchased, on which the Mediapark was laid out from the end of the 1980s .

As a member of the CDU, Uhlenküken was in charge of his local branch in Schwerte-Mitte from 1970 to 1976, but remained connected to the city with his professional expertise even after the municipal reorganization in 1975.

He was a member of the Catholic student associations KStV Germania Münster and KStV Thuringia Marburg .
