After graduating from high school in 1977, he enlisted in the Bundeswehr, where he worked until 1981. From 1981 to 1986 Norbert Claussen studied at the University of Kiel law , but without successfully complete this study. He then worked as an insurance broker for three years before joining the Ministry of the Interior of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in 1990 . In 1994 he was appointed department head for economy, schools, culture, sport, health and order in the state capital Schwerin.
In 2002 Claussen stood for the CDU as a candidate for the mayoral election of Schwerin. After the candidate Axel Höhn ( SPD ) was eliminated in the first ballot due to a scandal, Claussen surprisingly prevailed in a runoff election against the PDS candidate , Gerd Böttger, to whom he was still defeated in the first ballot. Since 2002 Norbert Claussen has been Lord Mayor of the state capital Schwerin. The proposed term of office was eight years.
The city council meeting of Schwerin decided on March 31, 2008 to carry out a referendum on April 27, in which the residents of the city should decide on the election of Claussens. The mayor was criticized mainly because of the statements made to the press and an allegedly slow process of coming to terms with the starvation of five-year-old Lea-Sophie from the Lankow district . The people of Schwerin voted out Claussen as Lord Mayor on April 27, 2008 by referendum with 82.7%, which corresponds to 29,150 votes. The turnout was 44.0%.
During Claussen's term of office, the city hospitals were sold to the Helios Kliniken and the preparations for the 2009 Federal Garden Show .
