Life and work

After finishing school, Bretschneider studied law in Münster from 1969 to 1974. He spent his legal clerkship in the district of the Hamm Higher Regional Court, and in 1977 he passed the second state examination in law. He then joined the state administration of North Rhine-Westphalia , where he worked from 1977 to 1990 in the Ministry of Economics, SMEs and Transport and Technology.

After the fall of the Wall , the state of North Rhine-Westphalia provided assistance in setting up the state administration in Brandenburg. Bretschneider came to Brandenburg in 1990 as the founding commissioner for the establishment of the Ministry for Urban Development, Housing and Transport. From 1990 to 2004 he was head of the department of policy matters, then until 2007 also as head of department responsible for transport policy in the same company (from 2004 Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Planning).

Rainer Bretschneider is married and has two children. He lives in Potsdam.

politics

In 2008, Bretschneider was promoted to State Secretary in the Ministry for Infrastructure and Regional Planning led by Reinhold Dellmann (SPD). After the new government was formed following the 2009 state elections , Jörg Vogelsänger (SPD) replaced him as State Secretary. In the 2009 Bundestag election, which took place at the same time as the state elections, he failed to re-enter the Bundestag.

After Jutta Lieske's resignation in February 2010, Vogelsänger moved up to the cabinet; Bretschneider, who is valued for his administrative experience, returned to his role as State Secretary in the Ministry of Infrastructure and Agriculture, which was expanded to include agriculture.

In connection with the problems with the construction of the Berlin Brandenburg Airport , he was transferred as State Secretary to the State Chancellery of Brandenburg in January 2013 , where he leads a work unit as airport coordinator that deals exclusively with the topic of airports and airport construction. Kathrin Schneider has been his successor in the Brandenburg Ministry of Infrastructure and Agriculture since January 30, 2013.
