from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michael Kniesel (* 1945 ) is a German administrative lawyer and management consultant . He was the President of the Police in Bonn and State Secretary in Bremen .

Life

Kniesel studied law at the Westphalian Wilhelms University in Münster.

From 1976 to 1979 he was the head of the police department at the district president of Münster. Other post led him to the riot police , the state police North Rhine-Westphalia , and as Senior Government in the function of Head of the jurisprudential faculty at the Police Staff College (PFA). From 1988 to 1993, Kniesel was police chief in what was then the federal capital of Bonn.

In May 1993 he was criticized by the black and yellow federal government for his conflict management ("Bonn Line") during the clashes during the asylum debate in front of Bonn's government district . Critics accused him of allowing the pro-asylum demonstration (around 10,000 demonstrators) too much freedom. The CDU member of the Bundestag Alfons Müller spoke of a "black day for our democratic and constitutional social order". Kniesel is still a proponent of de-escalation tactics used by the police during demonstrations and is a declared opponent of the ban mile . He therefore has a “reputation as a liberal spirit” in specialist circles.

In the same year he was the signatory of an open letter to the rector of the University of Bonn Max Georg Huber because of the personality of Professor Hans-Helmuth Knütter .

From 1993 to 1995 he was State Councilor at the Senator for the Interior in Bremen. Because of disagreements over the structural reform of the police, he was put into temporary retirement by Interior Senator Friedrich van Nispen (FDP) . He then worked as a lawyer and management consultant. In 2001 he was the successor of Hagen Saberschinsky as police chief in Berlin . In 2008 he co-founded a law firm specializing in criminal defense and compliance in Bonn. He published several books and a legal commentary .

He was initially a member of the FDP , later switched to the SPD .

Kniesel lives with his daughters in the Bonn district of Poppelsdorf .
