Public offices

Peter Gauweiler in April 1987

From 1982 to 1986 Gauweiler, appointed by Mayor Erich Kiesl (CSU), was a professional city councilor and head of the district administration department in Munich. He stood for Law and Order , put u. a. a significant expansion of the Munich restricted area , with which prostitution was largely banned to the outskirts. In addition, as a district administration clerk , he engaged in a high-profile private feud with Richard Süssmeier , the spokesman for the Oktoberfest hosts .

After the state elections in 1986 , Prime Minister Franz Josef Strauss (CSU) appointed him State Secretary in the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior, headed by August Lang (CSU). There he became known especially for his police operations at the Wackersdorf reprocessing plant, which is currently under construction, and for his controversial proposals to combat AIDS . He accused the then Federal Minister of Health Rita Süssmuth (CDU) for errors in the control strategy and instead called for mandatory screening for members of the "risk groups", to which he mainly counted non-Europeans, as well as mandatory reporting for those infected with HIV . Gauweiler's “catalog of measures” was rejected by the Federal Council with a large majority. Under State Minister Edmund Stoiber ( from October 1988 ) his tasks were limited to the Supreme Building Authority .

After the state election in 1990 , Gauweiler was appointed to the Streibl II cabinet on October 30, 1990 as Minister of State for State Development and Environmental Issues . He initially retained this office in the Stoiber I cabinet , but had to resign on February 23, 1994 under pressure from the CSU after Stern magazine reported that Gauweiler had illegally leased his law firm for several years. A committee of inquiry - with a CSU majority - acquitted Gauweiler of the main allegations.

In the mayor elections in Munich (1993) he was defeated by Christian Ude (SPD) with 43.4 to 50.7%.

Extra income

In March 2014 it became known that Gauweiler receives more than 500,000 euros per year for secondary employment in addition to his income for his work as a member of parliament. He is by far at the top of the German MPs. In July 2014, the estimated amount of additional income was put at at least 967,500 euros.

Practice as a lawyer

Gauweiler held a number of lucrative mandates. I.a. he sued Deutsche Bank several times for clients ; For the media entrepreneur Leo Kirch , he filed for damages before the Federal Court of Justice. Deutsche Bank had violated banking secrecy with disrespectful statements about its customer Kirch and contributed to the collapse of Kirch's group. In addition, Gauweiler's law firm forced Deutsche Bank to pay 150 million euros in a settlement to the Gaevert Group , which had taken over shares in Philipp Holzmann AG from Deutsche Bank .

In 2014, Gauweiler sued the investigative committee of the Bavarian State Parliament for his client, laboratory entrepreneur Bernd Schottdorf . The FAZ ruled that "the demarcation between parliamentarians and lawyers" is "difficult for a deputy party chairman, especially if he performs this function as effectively as Gauweiler."

In 2015, the state of Qatar commissioned the law firm Bub, Gauweiler und Partner to represent its interests in the legal dispute between Qatar and the former President of the German Football Association (DFB), Theo Zwanziger . Zwanziger had criticized Qatar for the 2022 World Cup .

Further mandates of the firm were: Erich Kellerhals ; Tom Enders , CEO of Airbus; Stefan Mappus , former Prime Minister of Baden-Württemberg; the Metro Group ; the Austrian Federal Railways ; the former Munich Wiesn host Sepp Krätz and the Audi manager Wolfgang Hatz .

Activities as a columnist

From 2001 to 2005 Gauweiler regularly wrote a column in the Bild newspaper on current political issues. From April 2007 to December 2014 he occasionally wrote the Thursday column in Münchner Merkur .

Others

In 2006 he signed the “Appeal for Freedom of the Press” staged by the weekly newspaper Junge Freiheit , against the exclusion of Junge Freiheit from the Leipzig Book Fair .

In 2007, Gauweiler pointed out to the then Finance Minister Peer Steinbrück (SPD) that the chairman of the IKB supervisory board, Ulrich Hartmann , was also a “member of the supervisory board of Deutsche Bank and even its executive committee”. Deutsche Bank had sold poorly secured US mortgage loans to IKB Deutsche Industriebank (at a time when it was itself betting on a decline in the value of these papers) and on July 27, 2007, IKB cut the credit lines, which then went into massive difficulties.

He is an honorary member of traditional costume associations and an honorary officer of a shooting association . He is also involved in the Munich Oktoberfest Museum , the Evangelical Johanniter Accident Aid and the state traffic watch.

Political positions

Foreign policy

Kosovo war

In May 2010, Gauweiler accused the federal government of Schröder I (1998–2002) of having distanced themselves from some principles that were based on their own historical experience. This distance has arisen since March 1999 with the bombing of four Yugoslav cities. The expulsions from Kosovo were not the cause of the attack, but its consequence; Knowing this is part of the "basic knowledge of contemporary history". According to Gauweiler, the Iraq war (2003) would not have been possible without this war, which is contrary to international law.

Iraq war as a violation of international law

Gauweiler also caused a stir in the spring of 2003 when he was the first member of the CDU / CSU parliamentary group to take an open position against the planned Iraq war and demanded that his parliamentary group "say what they think about it". From March 8 to 10, 2003, he and his parliamentary group colleague Willy Wimmer visited the Iraqi capital, Baghdad .

Bundeswehr mission in Afghanistan - complaint to the Federal Constitutional Court

Immediately after the decision of the Bundestag on March 9, 2007 to support the NATO troops in Afghanistan through the use of Tornado planes, he and the MP Willy Wimmer filed a complaint with the Federal Constitutional Court on the grounds that (not only because of this ) a different international law interpretation of the NATO treaty would be tolerated and supported, but its amendment would require explicit parliamentary approval. At the same time, they applied for an interim order . The plaintiffs asserted that the Tornado operation led to a tacit amendment to the NATO Treaty , which was incompatible with the general prohibition of violence in the UN Charter and customary international law , and violated Articles 24, 25 and 26 of the Basic Law, which made Germany illegal Support US actions. Representative in the organ dispute proceedings was Dietrich Murswiek .

The application for a temporary injunction was rejected by the 2nd Senate of the Federal Constitutional Court on March 12th because the main applications were inadmissible. Insofar as the applicants asserted that the Federal Government had violated the rights of the Bundestag, they as individual MPs were not authorized to assert the rights of the Bundestag. As far as they assert the violation of their own rights, there is no conclusive explanation.

On October 16, 2008, he voted against the continued use of German armed forces in the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan .

Foreign missions of the Bundeswehr

In February 2014, Gauweiler took a speech by Federal President Joachim Gauck at the Munich Security Conference as an opportunity to comment on the Bundeswehr's previous missions abroad . He warned of new Bundeswehr missions and criticized the plans of Federal Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen (CDU) to expand Bundeswehr missions in Africa, such as Operation Serval in Mali. In September 2014, Gauweiler expressed clear criticism of the constitutional understanding of the Federal Constitutional Court and the government politicians who advocate deployments abroad. The Federal Constitutional Court read “something in the constitution” that “is not included there”. Defense operations of the Bundeswehr are substantively "only lawful in the event of an armed attack on federal territory". Gauweiler also criticized NATO's changed definition of defense and described it as a “blatant mistake”. The “regional frame of reference of NATO” will be “extended to infinity”. Even humanitarian intervention were not compatible with the Basic Law. The Bundeswehr must reflect on its actual mission, national defense .

Crimean crisis

On the question of Russian policy towards Crimea, Gauweiler expressed understanding for the Russian position. In Merkur in Munich , on September 14, 2014, he referred to a letter from Solzhenitsyn to Boris Yeltsin in 1991 , in which Solzhenitsyn described "Novorossija" ( New Russia ) and many other areas of Ukraine beyond the Dnieper as historically never part of Ukraine. Lenin's drawing of borders was absurd and purely tactically motivated. Solzhenitsyn supported referendums in all disputed areas of Ukraine: "Each area should decide for itself where it wants to belong".

Ukraine crisis

In March 2014, during the Crimean crisis , Gauweiler criticized the German government's behavior towards Russia. Economic sanctions and a larger troop presence, which were demanded, he described as "saber rattling" and "dangerous powerhouse". The USA and the EU have brought Germany “into a dangerous escalation of threats”. After the fall of the Iron Curtain, the West ignored the new Russia and constantly frustrated it.

On the political Ash Wednesday in March 2014, Gauweiler said: “We are for partnership. We are in favor of the partnership with Kiev, but Moscow is just as much a part of Europe and we will not allow European Russia to be separated from Kiev, by others. We are in favor of cooperation with Russia. ”Gauweiler called for German politics to return to the“ direction-determining cleverness ”of Franz Josef Strauss and quoted his remark with approval:“ If Germany and Russia had good relations, then that was always good for Europe. ”

On September 12, 2014, Gauweiler traveled to Moscow to open the “Year of Language and Literature in Russia and Germany” as chairman of the Bundestag subcommittee on foreign cultural and educational policy . During his visit, he criticized the sanctions policy against Russia. This is a cowardly policy that is going in the wrong direction, he said on September 12, 2014. The experiences in Iran and Iraq have shown that such punitive measures are not effective. It is necessary to build bridges and talk to each other. You don't have to accept everything, but understand the other side. “Russia belongs to Europe! Sanctions are the wrong way to go. ”In Moscow, Gauweiler also spoke to representatives of churches, managers and high-ranking politicians, including the President of the Russian Parliament Sergei Naryschkin .

To AIDS sufferers

Gauweiler was heavily criticized when he tried to apply the Federal Disease Act to AIDS sufferers in 1987 . He developed a catalog of measures for Bavaria that included compulsory tests and segregation. In general, the law was seen as totally inappropriate. A Federal Council initiative by Bavaria was rejected ten to one.

Wackersdorf reprocessing plant

As State Secretary in the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior, Gauweiler became known nationwide for his tough line in the fight for the Wackersdorf reprocessing plant . After disputes between opponents of nuclear power and the Bavarian police in Wackersdorf , the Bavarian Support Command (USK) was founded on Gauweiler's initiative in the mid-1980s and soon afterwards also deployed in Wackersdorf.

Gauweiler spent Christmas 1986 together with 1,000 officials in a tent on the WAA construction site and donated white sausages , while around 3,000 WAA opponents moved to the site fence despite the ban mile.

Wehrmacht exhibition

When the Wehrmacht exhibition was to be shown in Munich in 1997 , Gauweiler started a campaign against it. In March he organized direct mail to 300,000 Munich households. Gauweiler saw the exhibition as a malicious denigration of German soldiers and advised the initiator of the exhibition, Jan Philipp Reemtsma , that he should rather “make an exhibition about the dead and injured caused by tobacco”. Against the opening of the exhibition by the mayor of Munich Christian Ude on February 24, 1997, Gauweiler and CSU members demonstrated by laying a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier at the same time . The dispute over the Wehrmacht exhibition was also brought to court. To the disputes about the Wehrmacht exhibition, u. a. in Munich, the documentary The Unknown Soldier by Michael Verhoeven was released in 2007, exactly ten years after this campaign .

Nazi looted art

At the beginning of 2013, Gauweiler called for greater efforts to restore looted art and pointed out that dealing with these works of art also influenced Germany's reputation abroad.

European Union and Euro

At a party congress in November 1992, Gauweiler wanted to persuade the CSU to say no to the Maastricht Treaty and thus to say no to the introduction of the euro . He warned of an "Esperanto currency" and "entry into an EC multi-ethnic state". Only 18 of the 1,000 or so delegates voted in favor of Gauweiler's proposal.

At the end of 2003 Gauweiler applied for a reference to God to be included in the treaty for a constitution for Europe . Shortly after the ratification of the constitutional treaty by the Federal Council on May 27, 2005, he filed a lawsuit against the treaty with the Federal Constitutional Court , which resulted in Federal President Horst Koehler not signing the law for the time being.

His constitutional complaint against the Treaty of Lisbon (signed at the end of 2007) was partially successful. Gauweiler's legal representative , the constitutional law professor Karl Albrecht Schachtschneider , had submitted it; later Dietrich Murswiek represented her as a lawyer. On June 30, 2009, the Federal Constitutional Court decided that the Bundestag and Bundesrat may continue to decide to delegate the decision on individual regulations to the European Parliament or the EU Council of Ministers . Here, however, national concerns, in particular the constitutional identity of the federal states, are to be given priority. For this partial success before the Federal Constitutional Court, Gauweiler received praise and recognition from all parliamentary groups.

In May 2010, Gauweiler voted in the Bundestag against a billion euro loan to Greece and against the euro rescue package amounting to 750 billion euros. He filed a lawsuit with the Federal Constitutional Court in May 2010; this has been negotiated since July 5, 2011. The lawsuit contained the violation of the Basic Law of the Federal Republic and the fundamental norms of the European monetary constitution through the rescue packages for Greece. On September 7, 2011, the Federal Constitutional Court dismissed the lawsuit.

Gauweiler voted on June 29, 2012 in the Bundestag against the European fiscal pact and the ESM . A little later, he filed a constitutional complaint with the Federal Constitutional Court . He saw reasons for the complaint because of possible violations of the Basic Law and loss of sovereignty rights of the German Bundestag.

On September 9, 2012, Gauweiler submitted an urgent application to the Federal Constitutional Court in order to postpone the judgment in the proceedings on the ESM in order to reassess the constitutionality. The ECB had recently announced that it wanted to buy unlimited amounts of government bonds from EU countries (at this point in time it had already bought government bonds with a nominal value of over 200 billion; Germany is liable for this in accordance with its stake in the ECB of around 27 percent) . The Federal Constitutional Court did not postpone the ruling.

Transrapid

Gauweiler described the Transrapid Munich as “the most expensive suburban railway in the world” and considered its use in Munich to be out of place. He suggested using the planned funds for the completion of the middle ring in Munich and starting the concept study of a Transrapid connection Berlin-Moscow.

Internal security

Gauweiler was one of four members of the Union who voted against the introduction of data retention in the Bundestag in 2005 .

Liberalization or privatization of the water supply

Gauweiler was the only member of the governing parties at the time (Union and FDP) who voted on February 28, 2013 in the Bundestag for the motion water is human right - prevent privatization of the Left Party . As one of five members of the CDU / CSU parliamentary group, he also voted on the same day for the motion No privatization of the water supply through the back door of Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen .

Withdrawal from all political offices

Horst Seehofer (CSU chairman and Bavarian Prime Minister since October 2008) disapproved of the political position of Gauweiler and Peter Ramsauer (then two of the four CSU deputy chairmen) regarding further financial aid to Greece and on March 9, 2015 asked the question of power (“you or I"). Gauweiler then resigned from the CSU deputy chairmanship on March 31, 2015, renounced his Bundestag mandate and published a press release. His position corresponds to the party decisions on euro policy, which he presented to his voters as his objective: "I was publicly required that I - because CSU Vice - vote in the Bundestag in such a way that I opt for the opposite, what I have represented for years before the Federal Constitutional Court and before my voters and what I understand as the current content of the CSU programs. This is incompatible with my understanding of the tasks of a member of parliament. "" If this - as happened - is publicly put in categorical opposition to the party line, I have to draw the consequences. "In a letter to Bundestag President Norbert Lammert , he also expressed his concern about the Undermining democracy expression. "I am pleased when I - also through disputes with the parliamentary majority before the Federal Constitutional Court - was able to make a contribution against the thinning of the democratic principle and thus strengthened the representation of the people." Ramsauer announced on May 7, 2015, no longer as deputy CSU -Chairman to run for office. Numerous newspapers published political "obituaries" after Gauweiler's withdrawal.

“You may or may not be interested in politics. If it interests you, it will interest you until you die. Politics cannot be viewed like a gladiator fight in a cinema. Because on the one hand you want to plunge yourself into the disputes, to 'get involved' in new German . You can see that there are just a lot of things that need to be clarified, that need to be done. And then you ask yourself: 'Why don't they do this?' "

- Peter Gauweiler : Quote from “Dr. Peter Gauweiler, Member of the Bundestag, Deputy Chairman of the CSU in conversation with Andreas Bachmann "

"With political companions it is like with neighbors: Friends can be chosen, neighbors not."
