politics

Wagner joined the Eastern CDU in 1980 and was elected to the board of the CDU district association in Potsdam in 1985. After the political change in the GDR , he was a member of the district council of the Potsdam district from 1990 to 1993 . In 1990 he was elected deputy chairman of the CDU regional association of Brandenburg and took over the provisional state chairmanship from September to November 1991. In 1990 he moved into the Brandenburg state parliament . From 1990 to 1994 he was chairman of the committee for labor, health, social affairs and women. In the first electoral term he represented the constituency of Potsdam-Land II in parliament.

In March 1994, Wagner was nominated as the top candidate for the state election on September 11, 1994 . In the elections, however, the CDU dropped to 18.7% of the vote and thus achieved exactly the same percentage of votes as the PDS. In contrast, the SPD and its top candidate Manfred Stolpe achieved 54.1% of the votes and thus the absolute majority.

From 1994 to 1997 Wagner was chairman of the CDU parliamentary group. After Carola Hartfelder resigned in June 1996, he initially took over provisional state chairmanship until he was finally elected state chairman of the CDU Brandenburg with 152 of the 244 delegate votes at the state party conference in Fürstenwalde in January 1997 . In October 1998 he announced his resignation from the state chairmanship, which Jörg Schönbohm finally took over in January 1999. Wagner remained a member of the state parliament until 2004 , from 1994 to 1999 as a member of the constituency of Teltow-Fläming II and from 1999 to 2004 as a member of the constituency of Teltow-Fläming III. Until the end he was chairman of the educational organization of the Jakob Kaiser Foundation .
