politics

DVU (1989-2007)

Tittmann joined the German People's Union (DVU) in 1989 and was active in the Bremerhaven City Council from 1991 as chairman of the DVU parliamentary group, which was represented there from 1987 to 2011 without interruption. In 2003 Tittmann caused a scandal in the Bremerhaven city council. When an SPD member of parliament called him a “Nazi”, he responded by associating the SPD with communist dictators like Josef Stalin and placing them in their tradition. The SPD responded with a charge of incitement to hatred , which, however, had already been rejected by the public prosecutor's office because, in their opinion, no one had been personally insulted.

From 1999 to 2011 Tittmann was a member of the Bremen citizenship. There he was represented in the committee for port affairs in the state of Bremen and in the state deputation for the fishing port.

From 2004 until he left the party in 2007, Tittmann was Deputy Federal Chairman of the DVU. He led his election campaign under the motto "One man, one word, one Tittmann". In the elections for Bremen citizenship, the DVU achieved 3% nationwide in 1999, 2.3% in 2003 and 2.7% in 2007. Due to a special regulation of the Bremen electoral law and the partial results in Bremerhaven , which with 6.0%, 7.1% and 5.4% respectively were above the five percent hurdle , the DVU nevertheless managed to move in with Tittmann as the only member of the parliament into citizenship. For the 2005 general election , Tittmann stood unsuccessfully for the NPD in second place on the Lower Saxony state list.

Citizens' protest (since 2007)

On July 17, 2007, Tittmann announced his departure from the DVU, which he explained with personal reasons. It is assumed that after the poor performance of the DVU in the previous elections and the following internal party criticism, he had to fear that he would be ignored in the election of the top candidate for the state election in Bremen 2011 . In September 2007 Tittmann founded the voters' association Protest der Bürger , which Bremerhaven city councilor Anatoli Wolf also joined. This took place in the Bremen citizenship election in the Bremerhaven area as well as in the election for the city council that took place at the same time. However, it failed in the former with 0.1% of the vote at the five percent hurdle. Although the corresponding clause was abolished in the elections for the city council, the electoral community was the only one of the participating parties to fail because they did not get enough votes for a mandate.

Thereafter, the Bremerhaven city council refused Tittmann the title of city ​​elder and the associated " honorary salary ". This award can be given if a city councilor has sat in the city parliament for 20 years and if he has exercised his office “without blame ”. Tittmann filed a complaint against the rejection with the Bremen Administrative Court , which in 2015 dismissed the complaint as unfounded.

Since March 2012, the PdB has been part of the small party Union of German Patriots . Tittmann became the chairman of the newly established Bremen regional association.

Siegfried Tittmann died on February 6, 2017 in Bremerhaven.
