Jörg König

Jörg Lutz King (* 2 April 1943 in Berlin , † 17th December 1995 in Hamburg ) was a German politician of the SPD and from 1983 to 1984 Finance Senator of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg.

Life

After attending a secondary school, König studied law, political science and education from 1962 to 1972. Although he had completed a course of study to become a teacher, he did not work as a teacher, but instead joined the Hamburg administration. He had been working as a research assistant in the Hamburg Senate Chancellery since 1972, and from there in 1974 moved to the Bergedorf District Office.

König joined the SPD and was a district member of the Bergedorf district from 1970 to 1974 . He was a member of the Hamburg citizenship from 1974 until the resignation on July 14, 1978 as a member of parliament. In July 1978, the Bergedorf district assembly elected him as district office manager. After Werner Staak's resignation, he was elected regional chairman of the Hamburg SPD in a voting against Ortwin Runde on September 25, 1981 . König resigned his functions as district office manager and SPD state chairman on February 2, 1983 when he took over the office of finance senator in the senate led by Mayor Klaus von Dohnanyi .

After a drunk ride in a company car and a traffic accident that resulted in a runaway on May 1, 1984, he got caught up in contradicting statements to the police and resigned from his position as Senator for Finance on May 3. In August 1984 he was sentenced by the Hamburg District Court to pay a fine of 6,000 DM and twelve months' driving license for driving flight and drunk driving.

After his political career, König first tried his hand at writing science fiction novels. On January 2, 1985, he took up a position at the Hamburg Housing Loan Corporation and in July 1987 he was appointed to the board of directors. He held this position until his sudden death in December 1995.
