Klaus Brausch

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Klaus Brausch (born February 4, 1943 in Xanten ) is a German politician.

Life

As the son of the Xanten original Wilhelm Brausch (1913–1992), Brausch started his professional career in 1957 as a post office boy at the Xanten post office. He was transferred from the Lower Rhine to Remscheid and passed the examination for middle service. With a transfer to Wuppertal, where he also has his place of residence from 1964 (from 1967 in Heckinghausen), the examination for senior service followed. From 1976 to 1988 Klaus Brausch was head of the Ronsdorf post office . During this time he was involved in union and staff representation.

Brausch joined the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) in 1969 and was elected chairman of the SPD local association Heckinghausen-Heidt and the district chairman of the then Barmen-Südost district (Barmen, Heidt, Heckinghausen , Laaken ). He held these functions until 1980, after which he remained deputy chairman until 1988. From 1975 Brausch had a seat in the council of the city of Wuppertal and was later elected deputy leader of the SPD parliamentary group. In 1980 he was sent to the Rhineland Regional Assembly (LVR), whose full-time SPD parliamentary leader he became in 1988. With that he made his honorary position a profession and resigned from the city council and from the postal service. Brausch represented the LVR from 1990 to 1999 as an advisory member in the district planning council of the Düsseldorf administrative region . Together with the member of the state parliament Uwe Herder (SPD), Brausch had campaigned for the implementation of noise protection on the federal motorway 46 and the Burgholz tunnel on state road 418 at the LVR's road construction administration.

Brausch was heavily involved in the Heckinghausen district and was a member of the advisory board of the Heckinghausen district association from 1976. Under his initiative, the expansion of the Murmelbachtal pond, the construction of the Oberbarmen station building and the prevention of DIY stores and supermarkets and the securing of local supply were accomplished. In the swimming pool, the Stadtbad Auf der Bleiche , he organized swimming festivals for children and young people. When the pool threatened to close, Brausch vehemently advocated its preservation and pursued the goal of converting the former men's swimming pool, which had been destroyed in the war, into a multi-purpose hall. Between 1987 and the summer of 1994, 55 “bleaching evenings” with various speakers and topics served this goal - and around 3000 guests. More than 4500 visitors were counted in over 200 events. Brausch could not prevent the closure of the swimming pool in 1993, but in 1992 it was recognized as a monument and converted into a retirement home. Brausch then organized cultural events in what was then the Naturfreunde-Stadtheim on Wernerstraße in Unterbarmen.

Brausch took over the chairmanship of the Wuppertaler Naturfreunde in June 1991 and resigned from this office in May 2003 when he was no longer running. After that, he focused his voluntary work on the German-Czech and Slovak Society and alternately became deputy chairman, honorary managing director and treasurer. From 2004 he has been head of the North Rhine-Westphalia regional association. In 2005 Brausch took over the chairmanship of the Wuppertal Circle of Friends Košice from the later honorary chairman Alfred Howad . The former Košice , now Košice , has been Wuppertal's twin town in Slovakia since 1980 . Brausch, together with Alfred Howad and Ernst-Andreas Ziegler, is one of the founders of this town twinning.

On March 7, 2002, Klaus Brausch was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit, 1st Class , for his voluntary commitment, also as a lay judge at the regional court and in the chamber for conscientious objectors .

As a long-standing managing director in the Rhineland Regional Council (LVR), Brausch left his professional life in March 2007 and retired.
