Services

Peter Heesen is a high school teacher and director of studies a. D. with the qualification to teach German and philosophy. He is a member of the CDU. From 1982 to 2002 he was chairman of the Association of Philologists in North Rhine-Westphalia. At the same time, the German Association of Philologists elected him deputy chairman in 1993 and federal chairman in 2002.

1995 he became deputy Federal Chairman of the German Association of Civil Servants (dbb) and 2003 Federal Chairman. He held this office until November 2012. One of his major successes as chairman of the civil servants' union was the development of a major reform of service law, which he initiated together with Verdi chairman Frank Bsirske. In doing so, he gave the German Association of Civil Servants, which was considered by the public to be a conservative organization unwilling to reform, a fresh and modern image and innovative strength that made the Association of Civil Servants a sought-after umbrella union for the public service. Due to his willingness to reform, Heesen himself became a member of various regional government reform commissions.

As chairman of the Beamtenbund, he was convinced that a modern public administration, which is perceived as an aid by the citizens, should reduce bureaucracy as much as possible. That is why he initiated a comprehensive concept to reduce bureaucracy and, in order to make renewal a development principle, created a prize of 50,000 euros for innovations in the public service.

The civil servants' association under his leadership was also concerned about the increasing public debt. In order to keep the state and its institutions more capable of acting and in the long term, he considered a reduction in the debt, which had grown to over two trillion euros, to be inevitable. To strengthen the social debate on this complex, he initiated an opinion by constitutional lawyer Paul Kirchhof entitled “Germany in debt suction”.

In terms of collective bargaining policy, he achieved an alliance with the service union ver.di, which has been in force since 2007. The joint collective bargaining between ver.di and the DBB with the federal, state and local governments has led to an interest-driven unity of the public service unions. He succeeded in always transferring the results of agreements in the collective bargaining area to the civil servant area. The basis of this alliance was - despite the different political approaches of the two organizations - a close cooperation with the ver.di chairman Frank Bsirske. The alliance with ver.di was initially controversial within the dbb and led to clear criticism from members who saw the dbb as a professional organization.

At the European level, Heesen headed the Academy Europe of the CESI [Conféderation Européenne des Syndicats Indépendants] from 2002 to 2008. In 2008 he took over the presidency of this non-socialist European trade union umbrella organization. Peter Heesen was elected Honorary President of CESI on December 1, 2012.

Also in 2012 he became honorary chairman of the dbb.

Nominated by the CDU parliamentary group in the state parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia, he was a member of the 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th federal assemblies and thus took part in the respective elections for the federal presidents. Since March 2010 he has been a member of the Advisory Board for Internal Management of the Bundeswehr.

From 2004 to 2014 he was a member of the ZDF television council, most recently as secretary of the presidium. In 2014 he changed to the program advisory board of “arte” . In 2017, the ZDF television council appointed him as one of eight members of the board of directors . There he is the 1st deputy. Chairman and chairwoman, the Rhineland-Palatinate Prime Minister Malu Dreyer, and is also a member of the finance and investment committee.

Heesen is a member and chairman of several supervisory boards of companies in the German economy, u. a. in BHW, the insurance group DBV and DBV-Winterthur, in AXA, in Adler-Versicherung.

After leaving the office of chairman at dbb, Heesen volunteered in numerous organizations. He is the chairman of the Association for the Promotion of the European Union in Germany with the aim of creating better conditions for youth work in Europe. At the soccer club 1. FC Köln he works as deputy chairman of the foundation board in the implementation of social projects, and in the Freundeskreis of the Brauweiler Abbey he devotes himself as chairman of the board of trustees to the design of a comprehensive cultural program in the former Benedictine abbey. The festival committee of the Cologne Carnival appointed the Rhinelander Heesen as a member of the supervisory board of the non-profit society of the Cologne Carnival.
