Klaus-Hermann Wienhold (born December 27, 1949 in Berlin ) is a former German politician ( CDU ).

Life

Klaus-Hermann Wienhold attended a higher business school and in 1968 became an officer in the Berlin riot police . In 1973 he switched to the criminal police and joined the CDU in 1979. From 1981 he was the personal advisor to Senator Edmund Wronski and was elected to the district assembly in the Spandau district in the 1981 Berlin election . In 1984 Wienhold became regional manager of the CDU Berlin and was able to win the direct mandate in the electoral district Spandau 1 in the Berlin House of Representatives a year later in the 1985 election . From 1994 he was managing partner of the company "Aubis". He was a member of parliament until 1995.

Aubis and the Berlin banking scandal

The former “Aubis Group” (initiators: Klaus-Hermann Wienhold and Christian Neuling ) had a loan of DM 500 million from the Berlin-Hannoversche Hypotheken-Bank AG ( Berlin Hyp ), a subsidiary of the Bankgesellschaft Berlin , with which it financed 100% of the purchase of 14,000 apartments in East German prefabricated buildings . When Aubis got into financial difficulties, she sold these apartments to the banking company at the end of 1999 and paid off this loan.

In October 1995, Wienhold presented Klaus-Rüdiger Landowsky, the CDU parliamentary group leader and head of the Berlin Hyp loan company, with a cash donation of 40,000 DM for the Berlin CDU, which the newcomer only found out about at the turn of 2000/01. In February 2001, Neuling took over responsibility for 20,000 DM at the request of Eberhard Diepgen . These and other incidents sparked the 2001 Berlin banking scandal , with Neuling being dragged through the press. As a result, Landowsky and Diepgen resigned, the Diepgen V Senate was overthrown, while the chief political prosecutor Klaus Wowereit succeeded Diepgen. Investigations have been initiated against those responsible at Aubis and the bank. In 2004, the 19th Large Criminal Chamber of the Berlin Regional Court brought charges of “fraud and attempted fraud”; the proceedings against Wienhold were discontinued in 2006 “for physical and psychological reasons”.

Another misconduct by the Aubis managers was that with the help of the Leipzig energy service provider Elpag, excessive energy prices were said to have arisen, with the bank threatening damage of 15 million euros due to the long contract periods concluded with the company. The Neuling and Wienhold arrested in February 2002 were released after bail of 950,000 euros each. The so-called “Elpag-Proceedings” began in February 2004. The proceedings against Wienhold were suspended from March 2006 to summer 2007 due to his inability to stand trial, but have not been reopened since then.
