biography

Family, education and work

Bücking first attended high school in the Bremen district of Huckelriede , which was considered a liberal “reform school”. Together with four classmates, he painted the school building in 1969 with various slogans such as “Co-determination in the election of the director!” And renamed it the “Che Guevara Institute” . As a punishment he received a consilium abeundi . Further actions eventually led to his final reprimand. For example, he had hung up a placard with the slogan “Stop masturbation at the teacher's desk”, stole class books against the “terror of censorship” and organized revolutionary games. From then on he attended a school in Hanover and passed his Abitur there in 1973.

He then completed an apprenticeship as a toolmaker and trained as a master mechanical engineer. Between 1981 and 1990 he worked on a training project before founding a company for design and architecture with partners in 1990. In 1994, as a non-party applicant - supported by the Greens - he was elected head of the Bremen local office in the center / eastern suburbs . He held this office until 2015.

Bücking has been married to Frauke Wilhelm, a graduate cultural pedagogue, moderator and musician, since 2014. He has a son from a previous relationship. He lives in the Mitte district .

politics

Bücking has been politically active since the 1960s. In the 1970s he was a member of the Communist Federation of West Germany (KBW), for which he ran unsuccessfully in the Bremen state election in 1975 . After leaving the KBW, he was active in the peace movement and the anti-nuclear power movement .

Since 2005 he has been a member of the Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen party. In the 2015 state elections in Bremen , he received a seat in the state parliament, despite a bad position on the list, thanks to sufficient first votes . At the state members' assembly of the Greens on July 11, 2015, he ran against the incumbent Senator for Construction and Environment Joachim Lohse for his post, but was defeated in the secret election with 38 to 151 votes. In the subsequent legislative period, Bücking was the spokesman for building policy within his parliamentary group. He was able to defend his mandate in the 2019 general election and is currently the parliamentary group spokesman for construction, urban development and the economy.
In the citizenry he is represented as a member in the following bodies:

  • Deputation for mobility, construction and urban development
  • Deputation for Economy, Labor and Ports
  • Municipal Port Committee (Chairman).
