From 1983 to 1985 he completed his training as a senior police enforcement service of the federal and state governments at the Police Management Academy (PFA) in Münster-Hiltrup and then worked in various functions in the Lower Saxony Ministry of the Interior, in particular in the fight against organized crime . In 1986 he became a member of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) and was councilor and parliamentary group leader in Negenborn from 1986 to 1991 and deputy mayor of the town from 1991 to 1996. From 1994 to 1995 he headed the Holzminden police station and then became head of the department for personnel and organization at the Hanover district government . In 1999 he took on the position of head of the "Police Deployment" department in the Lower Saxony Ministry of the Interior and was the representative of the State Police Director. From 1999 to June 2004 he was Deputy Chairman of the State Prevention Council . From April 2001 to July 2005 he was director of the Lower Saxony State Criminal Police Office. On April 24, 2004, the SPD nominated Butte as a candidate for district administration. On September 19, 2004, the SPD politician was elected to succeed Karl Heissmeyer and the first full-time district administrator of the Hameln-Pyrmont district with 52.19% of the vote . He took office on August 1, 2005, and was sworn in on August 30, 2005. When he was re-elected on September 11, 2011, he received 53.3%.

Condolence deposit in front of the district building

On April 26, 2013, at around 10 o'clock, Butte was gunned down by a 74-year-old man in his office in the district of Hameln-Pyrmont with a shot from a Smith & Wesson revolver , caliber .357 Magnum ; he died on the scene. The perpetrator came from Nienstedt ; he then killed himself . The Nienstedter had renewed a chain link fence around 2007, whereupon the district building supervisor ordered the fence to be torn down. In addition to this “approval farce”, which escalated from August 2010, the perpetrator was probably also driven to act by the threat of losing his house and his driver's license.

Butte lived in Negenborn since 1968. He had two children with his wife.
