Life
Murawski was born in Erfurt in the former GDR; his parents fled to West Germany in 1960 with the then ten-year-old. After graduating from the New Gymnasium in Nuremberg , he studied political science, sociology, German, history and law at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg . He began his professional activity as a businessman in the family company and from 1969 became involved in the FDP and with the Young Democrats , of which he was Deputy Federal Chairman in 1973 and Bavarian State Chairman in 1974. In 1978 he was elected to the Nuremberg City Council. There he was parliamentary group chairman of the FDP until 1981, then switched to the Greens and took over the function of parliamentary group chairman again from 1984. In the local elections in Nuremberg in 1990 , he ran for mayor and received 2.8% of the vote. In 1992 Murawski was elected one of the mayors of the city of Nuremberg and took over responsibility for health and veterinary services and the management of the Nuremberg Clinic. In 1996, Murawski moved to Stuttgart, where he was the only Green of seven mayors under the CDU Lord Mayor Wolfgang Schuster to take responsibility for general administration and hospitals. He was also honorary managing director of the Stuttgart Clinic from 2001 to 2003.

A portrait in the Stuttgarter Zeitung described Klaus-Peter Murawski as “a thoroughly bourgeois Greens” and “an almost baroque figure who knows how to represent, but also to pull the strings behind the scenes”. In the course of a scandal surrounding the Stuttgart Clinic , Klaus-Peter Murawski also came under fire. For health reasons, he stepped down as Minister of State and Head of the State Chancellery on August 31, 2018.
