Thomas Lunacek (born September 14, 1964 in Berlin ) is a German politician ( CDU ). From 1994 to 2009 he was a member of the state parliament of Brandenburg .

Job and life

Thomas Lunacek grew up in Neuenhagen near Berlin. From 1981 to 1984 he trained as a radio mechanic. He then practiced this profession until 1988. In April 1989 he managed to escape via Hungary to the Federal Republic of Germany . From mid-1989 to 1994 he worked as a computer technician. He is married with three children and is of Roman Catholic denomination.

Political party

From 1984 to 1988, Lunacek was a member of a GDR municipal council. He joined the CDU in mid-1989 in Stadthagen ( district of Schaumburg ). From 1993 to 1997 he was a member of the Neuenhagen municipal council near Berlin and chairman of the CDU parliamentary group. From June 1993 to mid-1997 he was state chairman of the Junge Union Brandenburg and from January 1997 to November 2004 General Secretary of the CDU Brandenburg , under two different state chairmen - most recently under Jörg Schönbohm . During his tenure as general secretary of the Brandenburg Union, the CDU Brandenburg, without the knowledge of the board, placed advertising orders in the amount of 580,000 euros to the company “MaNo!” And thus borrowed 300,000 euros. The state board member Lunacek, the former state manager Mario Faßbender and the then treasurer Dierk Homeyer expressed their disapproval for this behavior . In April 2007, the CDU regional association had to borrow money from its district associations in order to avert the impending insolvency.

Between October 1994 and 2009, Lunacek was a member of the Brandenburg State Parliament. He started in 1994 and 1999 in constituency 15 - Barnim III - and in 2004 in constituency 13 - Barnim I. In the 1999 state elections, Lunacek won only 3rd place as a direct candidate with 25.3% first votes and 24.8% second votes for the CDU. Also in 2004, with 17.5% of the first votes for him and 15.4% of the second votes for the party, only third places jumped out. Lunacek thus entered parliament via the state list of the CDU Brandenburg. From 1994 to 1999 he exercised the function of youth policy spokesman in the CDU parliamentary group. In 1999 he was elected deputy group leader. From 1999 to 2004 he held the position of financial policy spokesman. From October 2004 he was chairman of the CDU parliamentary group in the Brandenburg state parliament. At the state party conference in Schwedt / Oder in 2005 , he was elected as the parliamentary group chairman with a result of 61% as deputy state chairman. At the state party conference in January 2007, he did not run again for a position on the state board of the CDU Brandenburg. At the beginning of March 2007, Lunacek was confirmed with 60% in the office of parliamentary group chairman of the CDU parliamentary group in Brandenburg. He resigned from this office on January 20, 2009 after he had not received a promising place on the list for the 2009 state elections at the previous CDU state party conference. The recommendation of the CDU state board of Brandenburg for the state list for the state elections in 2009, which contains 44 candidates, only envisaged the hopeless list position 24 for Lunacek. He announced his possible retirement from politics. Before that, however, he wants to seek a direct mandate in the Barnim district ( Barnim I district electoral district ), where the CDU has never been able to assert itself.

He was not elected in the elections for the 5th Brandenburg State Parliament on September 27, 2009.

On September 14, 2007, Thomas Lunacek was elected CDU district chairman Barnim with 83% of the vote.
