Norbert A. Metz (* 14. October 1951 ; † 6. August 2018 ) was a German politician ( CDU ) and 1990-1994 District Administrator of the district Langensalza in Thuringia .

Career

From 1985 to 1989, Metz was a city councilor in Rüsselsheim in Hesse and from 1988 to 1990 managing director of the CDU district parliamentary group in the Groß-Gerau district .

After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the CDU Hessen called on the district associations to send one party member each to the GDR for political reconstruction work . Metz decided to move to Bad Langensalza , where his wife's relatives lived, and set up a CDU office there from February 1990. In the course of the free local elections in 1990 , he was first offered the post of mayor, then that of the district administrator of Bad Langensalza. On May 30, 1990, Metz was elected district administrator after he had taken citizenship of the GDR the day before . In addition to his work as district administrator, from 1992 to 1994 he was also the Thuringian state chairman of the local political association of the CDU and CSU in Germany (KPV) and temporarily its deputy national chairman.

In the course of the district reform in 1994 , the district of Langensalza was dissolved and largely merged into the new Unstrut-Hainich district . Metz left office and became the managing director of the Thuringian bus company. In 1996 he returned to Rüsselsheim. As a volunteer speaker for the Konrad Adenauer Foundation , he traveled abroad several times. From 2002 to 2008 he was again managing director of the CDU district assembly in Groß-Gerau, and from 2006 to 2012 a member of the district assembly. From 2011 to 2013 he was a member of the Rüsselsheim magistrate. In January 2015 he was honored with the Alfred Dregger Medal in silver.
