Life

Professional career

Würtenberger studied at the University of Freiburg Law and put the First and Second State Examination from. He then worked in internal administration at the Sigmaringen District Office.

After eight months, the then CDU parliamentary group chairman Erwin Teufel brought him to the parliamentary advisory service of the Baden-Württemberg state parliament in 1984 , where he was initially responsible for environmental issues as an advisor to the CDU parliamentary group and later for the keynote address.

In 1988 he moved to the Ministry of the Interior . His successor as parliamentary advisor to the CDU parliamentary group was Christoph Palmer . In 1991 he moved to the then newly established Ministry of Transport in the country.

After the Ministry of Transport was merged with the Ministry of the Environment in 1996, Würtenberger returned to the Ministry of the Interior in 1997, where he took over the management of the central office as Head of the Ministry.

In November 2000, Prime Minister Teufel brought him to the State Ministry of Baden-Württemberg , initially as head of Department II (press office). From February 2003 to July 2007 he was Head of Department IV (Principle and Planning, Social and Society Policy, Federal Affairs) as Ministerial Director. In this function he was also the superior of the speechwriter Michael Grimminger , who worked in Department 43 and who wrote the controversial speech by Prime Minister Günther Oettinger on April 11, 2007 on the occasion of the death of the former Prime Minister of Baden-Württemberg Filbinger .

On July 16, 2007, Würtenberger was entrusted with the long vacant position of Ministerial Director (Head of Office and general deputy of the Minister) in the Ministry of Science, Research and Art in Baden-Württemberg .

As early as November 2007, Prime Minister Oettinger appointed him, with effect from January 1, 2008, as regional president of the administrative district of Freiburg , successor to Sven von Ungern-Sternberg , who retired at the end of the year. Würtenberger's successor in the ministry was the previous Lord Mayor of Rottenburg am Neckar , Klaus Tappeser . During his tenure as district president, Würtenberger campaigned primarily for a policy of sustainability , for the energy transition and for the trinational metropolitan region of the Upper Rhine , in particular its “science offensive”.
