Roland Wöller (born July 19, 1970 in Duisburg ) is a German politician ( CDU ) and Minister of the Interior of Saxony since December 18, 2017 . Before that he was Minister of State for Environment and Agriculture from 2007 to 2008 and Minister of State for Culture and Sport from 2008 to 2012 .

Family, education and science

After graduating from high school in Heilbronn in 1990 , he trained as a bank clerk at Dresdner Bank , for which he then worked in Freiberg , Görlitz and Tokyo . He graduated from the TU Dresden with a degree in business administration and economics in 1999 . From February to October 1999 he was head of the management office in the Saxon State Ministry for Culture. He was in 2002 Ulrich Kluge at the Department of History of the Faculty of the TU Dresden to Dr. phil. PhD. From 2003 to 2006 he was a professor at the Dresden University of Applied Sciences (FH). From 2006 to February 2015 he was professor of economics and environmental economics there . Since 2007 he has been on leave as a member of the state government as a university lecturer.

In 2008, his doctoral thesis came under suspicion of plagiarism. In 2011, the doctoral committee of the Philosophical Faculty of the TU Dresden considered the number of similarities between a student's master's thesis and Wöller's dissertation to be questionable, but the doctoral degree was not revoked. As a result, his former doctoral supervisor publicly distanced himself from him and dubbed him a charlatan.

Wöller is an Evangelical Lutheran, married to Corinna Franke-Wöller and lives in Freital .

Politics, electoral and government offices

Wöller has been a member of the CDU since 1988, and of the Junge Union since 1987 .

From 1995 to 1999 he was chairman of the regional association of the Young Union of Saxony and Lower Silesia and has been a member of the CDU regional executive since 1995. From 1999 he was district chairman of the CDU Weißeritzkreis and from September 22, 2007 of the CDU Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains .

Until 2010 he was also a member of the district council of the Weißeritzkreis and the district of Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains .

In the state elections in Saxony in 1999 , Wöller entered the Saxon state parliament for the first time . Since 2004 he has represented the constituency of Weißeritzkreis 1 and the constituency of Saxon Switzerland and Eastern Ore Mountains 1 . Since 2002 he has headed the working group for science and universities, culture and media of the CDU parliamentary group in the state parliament.

On 25 September 2007 he became Prime Minister Georg Milbradt as the new Saxon State Minister for Environment and Agriculture in the Cabinet Milbradt II presented. On June 17, 2008, his successor Stanislaw Tillich appointed him to the Tillich I cabinet as minister of culture . During this time there was the "garbage scandal" with imported Italian garbage to Saxony and improper storage and processing. The German Environmental Aid (DUH) accused him of making false statements.

On September 30, 2009 he was accepted into the Tillich II cabinet . On March 20, 2012, he resigned from his position as minister of education because he no longer wanted to support the educational policy course of the Saxon state government - cuts in the budget would inevitably lead to a reduction in teaching positions.

In the state elections in Saxony in 2014 , he was re-elected directly to the state parliament with 45.1% of the first votes and acted as chairman of the committee for economy, labor and transport.

On December 18, 2017, Wöller was appointed Saxon State Minister of the Interior by the new Saxon Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer in his first cabinet . During Wöller's term of office, the new Saxon police law was passed by the state parliament, which came into force on January 1, 2020. The previous uniform police law was abandoned and replaced by a law on the tasks, organization, powers and data processing of the police authorities on the one hand and the police enforcement service on the other. The main innovations are the introduction of the Bodycam, the targeted veil search in the areas of cross-border crime and the equipment of special police units with tasers , machine guns and hand grenades. City law enforcement officers are banned from using tasers. Members of the parliamentary parliamentary groups of Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen and the Left filed a judicial review complaint with the Saxon Constitutional Court on August 1, 2019 .

On July 11, 2019, Wöller signed a declaration of intent with representatives of the federal government that the Federal Office for Information Security would set up a branch in Freital, Saxony . The task of this part of the authority is to be the certification of 5G providers . 200 new employees are planned, whose positions are to be advertised in 2019 and 2020.

In the state elections in Saxony in 2019 , he was again elected constituency member in the Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains constituency 1 with 38.8 percent of the direct votes.

economy
