Kruse passed his Abitur in 1967 at the Johann Heinrich Voss School in Eutin and initially served in the Schleswig-Holstein State Police . From 1969 to 1974 he studied economics , sociology and psychology at the University of Hamburg , which he graduated with a degree in economics .

From 1998 to 2013 he was Professor of Economic Policy at the Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences at the Helmut Schmidt University in Hamburg.

politics

Kruse was a member of the SPD from 1968 until he left in 1993 . He was one of the 68 main illustrators of the 2013 election alternative . In 2012 he joined the Free Voters party , where he became a member of the state executive. In 2013 he joined the AfD and was elected chairman of the Hamburg regional association in April 2013. After the federal party congress in July 2015, Kruse resigned from his position as state chairman and member of the scientific advisory board and program commission of the federal party, but remained provisional state chairman until his successor Bernd Baumann was elected in October 2015.

In the state elections in Hamburg in 2015 , Kruse was elected to the Hamburg citizenship , where he was elected chairman of the AfD parliamentary group.

In a speech in the citizenry on the subject of the persecution of Christians on April 13, 2016, he expressed himself critical of Islam on the request of the CDU parliamentary group " Protect Christians and other minorities among the refugees better " : Germany, and thus Hamburg, is currently confronted with migration that worn by not well educated, Muslim socialized young men. Most of them come from regions characterized by violent religious conflicts and discrimination or oppression of Christians and other religious minorities. On May 3rd, he spoke to the world about Islam: “Descriptively, Islam belongs to Germany, because there are people here who practice Islam. The normative question remains whether Islam should be one of them. And here you have to differentiate: It would be rubbish to say that we don't want Islam here, because it is okay as a religion. Islam as a political totalitarian ideology, on the other hand, is a problem. ”Kruse criticized the party program adopted in Stuttgart in May 2016 with the words:“ I find everything that is in it about family and children unspeakable and yesterday's and misogynist. And I'm ashamed of it. ”For this he was reprimanded by the AfD state executive.

On September 27, 2018, he announced that he wanted to leave the AfD on October 1 and give up the chairmanship of the parliamentary group. The reason he gave the cooperation of his party “with right-wing and right-wing extremists”. On November 1st, he left the AfD parliamentary group and since then has been a member of the parliament as a non-party member of parliament. In the television program Markus Lanz on October 2, 2018, Kruse emphasized that he saw politically different attitudes between the AfD in the west and east of the republic, which delayed his exit as the “liberal figurehead of the AfD”.

He no longer belongs to the citizenship elected in 2020.
