Thorsten Fürter (born April 25, 1970 in Hamburg ) is a German lawyer and politician ( Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen ).

Life

Fürter passed his Abitur in 1990 at the Gymnasium Ohlstedt . From 1991 to 1997 he studied law and journalism at the University of Hamburg . At the end of 1997, after having been a member of the FDP for several years, he joined the Greens through the Green University Group at the University of Hamburg. From 1999 he worked as a judge, initially in Berlin, and from 2002 to 2008 at the Lübeck Regional Court . In May 2008, Fürter became press spokesman for the Hamburg judicial authority .

In the state elections in Schleswig-Holstein in 2009 , he entered the Schleswig-Holstein state parliament via the state list of Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen . Fürter was a member of the Interior and Legal Committee and chairman of his parliamentary group in the parliamentary committee of inquiry into HSH Nordbank. There he dealt critically with the monitoring activities of the Supervisory Board of HSH Nordbank during the financial crisis. His topics included Lübeck Airport and data protection . From 2007 to 2012, Fürter was a member of the Schleswig-Holstein Green Party Council.

Fürter ran for the office of mayor of Lübeck in 2011 . He received 19.4% of the vote and thus clearly missed the runoff election in which incumbent Bernd Saxe ( SPD ) prevailed against Alexandra Dinges-Dierig ( CDU ).

In January 2012, Fürter resigned his state parliament mandate after he was not considered in the application for a place on the list at the state party conference of the Greens that same month. He left the state parliament four months before the early elections in 2012 and returned to his job as a judge. In 2015 he was elected to the Schleswig-Holstein Higher Regional Court.

In May 2013 he was elected to the citizenship of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck and became chairman of the Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen parliamentary group. After four of the eight parliamentary group members left the parliamentary group at the end of March 2016 and formed the GAL parliamentary group together with Antje Jansen , Fürter resigned from the parliamentary group and was elected chairman of his party's district association.

In the 2017 federal election he ran for a direct mandate in the Lübeck constituency . He competed against the Bundestag member Gabriele Hiller-Ohm (SPD), the cardiac surgeon and university professor Claudia Schmidtke (CDU) and four other candidates. Fürter received 13 percent of the votes cast.

In the local elections in May 2018, Fürter moved back into the citizenship after winning his constituency directly for the Greens
