politics

Kruse joined the Junge Union in 1961 and the CDU in 1964. From 1966 to 1982 he was a member of the district assembly in the Hamburg-Nord district . From 1973 he was chairman of the CDU parliamentary group. In the district assembly in 1974 he campaigned for the preservation of tram line 9, which ran through large parts of the district. In 1976 he criticized the size of the noise protection zone one, which in his opinion was too small, in which not even all the airport areas in Langenhorn and Groß Borstel were located. After the SPD majority decided in 1979 not to build the planned bypass for Fuhlsbüttel and Langenhorn, he criticized this as a vote deception. The bypass was then opened a good twenty years later.

In the 1970s he was treasurer of the CDU district association Hamburg-Nord. From 1978 to 1984 he was chairman of the CDU local association in Alsterdorf . From 1981 he was state chairman of the CDU social committees in Hamburg. As such, he criticized the number of 45,000 unemployed in Hamburg as "a sign of poverty by the Senate" and the one percent pay cut in the public service as a "massive interference with collective bargaining". He accused the Hamburg Senator for Labor, Jan Ehlers , of putting a strain on the economic climate in the Hanseatic city by fixating on the 35-hour week . Since 1982 he was also a member of the state executive committee of the Hamburg CDU . After his election as chairman of the CDU parliamentary group in the Hamburg parliament, he did not run again as CDA chairman in 1989, and Antje Blumenthal was elected as his successor .

Kruse was a member of the Hamburg parliament from 1978 to 2004 and for his parliamentary group, among other things, in the committee for the constitution, rules of procedure and election review. From January 1979 he was the successor to Gerhard Flomm , who had been elected mayor of Halstenbek , chairman of the submission committee . He held this office until the end of the legislative term in June 1982 and then again after the December 1982 elections. In the early 1980s he was the parliamentary manager of the parliamentary group. After the state election in June 1982 he was elected deputy chairman of the CDU parliamentary group in the citizenry. But already after the new election in December of the same year , he moved to the chair of the Citizenship Vice-President. At times he was also chairman of the parliamentary group for home affairs and law and social policy spokesman. After the change of the previous parliamentary group leader Hartmut Perschau at the beginning of July 1989, he became his successor as parliamentary group leader in the parliament and held this office until after the parliamentary elections in 1993 , when he again moved to the vice-presidential chair for four years. From 1995 he was the successor of Markus E. Wegner chairman of the constitutional committee of the citizenship. He was an expert on constitutional issues of his party and chairman of the study commission "Financial relations between the federal government and the states". In 1979, he criticized the Senate for wanting to grant building plots for private homes as heritable building rights and not in sales channels, which would lead to further migration to the surrounding area, and also demanded that 8,000 decommissioned police service pistols from the manufacturer Carl Walther GmbH should not be melted down, but rather whose commercial value of around 820,000 marks will be realized. He criticized the introduction of road cleaning fees in 1979 as "unjust and unsocial". In 1981/82 he was a member of the parliamentary committee of inquiry into the commitment to Persia of the Hamburger Stadtentwicklungsgesellschaft mbH . In 1981 he spoke out against the plan of Building Senator Volker Lange (SPD) to build 1,000 apartments on Billerhuder Insel in Rothenburgsort instead of the previously inhabited allotment gardens. In 1984 he demanded the introduction of cheaper HVV tickets for the unemployed because they were particularly dependent on mobility when looking for work. He also criticized the fact that attendance at preschool is free, but kindergartens are chargeable and demanded that the “nurseries” in Hamburg hospitals be kept so that nurses do not have to give up their jobs because they have small children. In 1987 he demanded the evacuation of the occupied houses in Hafenstrasse in order to "end the illegal and unlawful conditions" there. He criticized the intended conclusion of a contract between the city and the occupiers with the words "whoever does not pay rent, who steals electricity and demolishes other people's property, will be rewarded by this Senate with debt relief and no prosecution".

As the newly elected parliamentary group chairman, he criticized Mayor Henning Voscherau's plans for administrative reform, because the CDU wanted to "strengthen the districts rather than abolish them". He later described the plans to create 14 civil offices with a city director to be appointed by the Senate as a "step backwards into the 19th century". In autumn 1989 he called for a “state children's home program” with which the city should make building land available for 1,000 homes per year on favorable terms. At the beginning of 1990 he demanded that Hamburg should enter into a city partnership with Prague . The social-liberal Senate followed suit and the seventh Hamburg city partnership was agreed in the same year. In May 1990, together with the traffic expert from the Joachim Christian Becker parliamentary group, he called for the construction of an outer ring road from Blankenese via Langenhorn , Poppenbüttel and Rahlstedt to Billwerder - Moorfleet . This could relieve the inner city on the one hand, but also the outer districts of the city on the other, and create important cross-connections. In the course of coming to terms with the Neue Heimat affair , he was in charge of the Hamburg Senate in the late summer of 1990, having waived a compensation amount of several hundred million marks when it took over Neue Heimat Hamburg in 1988, which resulted from the continued violation of the tax-saving status of non-profit status and granted the Hamburg State Treasury. In January 1991 he accused building senator Eugen Wagner (SPD) of having deceived the citizens in this matter, whereupon the latter threatened with an action for revocation in February of that year. When Mayor Henning Voscherau spoke out in favor of a local transport tax in October 1991, Kruse criticized this as a "penalty tax for Hamburgers". In January 1992, he demanded that the President of the State Audit Office , who had previously been appointed by the Senate with the consent of the Citizens' Committee , would in future have to be elected by the citizens, because the Senate should not choose its inspectors itself. In the discussion about parliamentary reform in 1992, Kruse spoke out against the transition from an after-work parliament to a full-time parliament and the associated increase in diets from DM 1,920 to DM 6,800.

For the 2004 general election , he no longer applied for a mandate, but wanted to continue to be involved in the Alsterdorf local association.
