from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ulrich Dübber (born January 2, 1929 in Berlin ; † May 8, 1985 in Munich ) was a German journalist and politician ( SPD ). Among other things, he published on the subject of party financing and was a member of the German Bundestag for West Berlin from 1971 to 1983.

Life

Dübber graduated from high school in Berlin and was still an air force helper in the last year of the war in 1945 . After the end of the war he was taken prisoner by the Soviets. In 1948 he passed his Abitur and then studied political science, history and law at the universities in Berlin and Bonn. From 1954 to 1961 he was a research assistant in the SPD parliamentary group. Dübber received his doctorate in 1961 with a thesis on party financing at the University of Bonn and then worked as a radio journalist for the RIAS in Berlin and Bonn. In 1965 he became head of the domestic affairs department of the RIAS Berlin, but only stayed one year until he took over the management of a television studio in Kiel in 1966. In 1970 he became deputy director of the NDR . Dübber was also a member of the International Institute for Journalism in Berlin and deputy chairman of the board of directors of Deutschlandfunk . He also wrote for the weekly newspaper Die Zeit .

politics

Dübber had been a member of the SPD since 1949. As a West Berlin member of parliament, he replaced Harry Liehr , who had left the Bundestag , on July 16, 1971 , to which he was a member until 1983. For the first few months up to October 1971 Dübber was a full member of the Committee for Labor and Social Affairs until he was a member of the Finance Committee for the remainder of the legislative period. After the federal election in 1972 , Dübber moved to the budget committee, to which he was a member until the end of the ninth term. In the ninth electoral term he was also a member of the Committee on Election Review, Immunity and Rules of Procedure, in which he was represented as an alternate member in the eighth term.

One of his topics as a journalist and politician was party funding and how politicians see themselves. He wrote an article in the journal for parliamentary questions on the charge that only professional politicians sit in the Bundestag. In the mid-1970s, he was able to calculate that the average length of time a politician spent in the Bundestag was seven years and 10.6 months. Dübber found it strange, based on the number, to speak of professional politicians if they only held the mandate for eight years.

In January 1983 it aroused great public interest at the three-day conference on the National Socialist takeover of power. Under the name "Germany's way into dictatorship", the topic was discussed in the Berlin Reichstag building . As the longstanding deputy chairman of the German Association for Parliamentary Issues, Dubber was involved in the planning and implementation of the event with great personal commitment. After the end of the ninth legislative period in 1983, Dübber left the German Bundestag. Two years later he died in Munich.
