Teltschik chaired the Munich Security Conference from 1999 to 2008 . At the beginning of March 2003, the Ministry of Defense and the Federal Press Office considered replacing Teltschik in this role because of his post as President of Boeing Germany .

The military share in the US company is only about 20 percent. ”He rejected the designation“ lobbyist ”because“ if he had only played the door opener for Boeing, he would never have accepted the job ”.
