Life

After training as a draftsman from 1957 to 1960, he worked for several years in architecture offices before setting up his own business in Friedrichsdorf in 1965 .

Krüger joined the Young Democrats in 1958 and the Free Democratic Party in 1960 . In 1969 he became a member of the state board of the Hessian FDP and in 1970 entered the Hessian state parliament via the party's state list , to which he belonged until 1978 - most recently as chairman of the economic committee. In the 7th legislative period (1970–1974) he headed an interdisciplinary and intergroup of the state parliament that prepared the first Hessian monument protection law .

After the break of the social-liberal coalition, Krüger left the FDP in 1982 and became the first chairman of the newly founded Liberal Democrats (LD). The first elections in which the LD participated were the Hessian state elections in 1983 , in which Krüger ran for second place on the state list and in the Wiesbaden I constituency . The election result was sobering: The LD received just under 0.4% of the vote. At the end of his one-year term of office, Krüger no longer ran for federal chairmanship and largely withdrew from party politics. After leaving the LD, he became a member of the SPD in 1985 .

In 1987 Krüger married Ulla Limberger, a graduate economist, whose name he adopted as a family name; since then his name has been Ulrich Krüger-Limberger. After the divorce, Krüger-Limberger was married to Gabriele Milato and had lived in Niedernhausen, north-east of Wiesbaden, since 2007. He did not lose his double name because he wanted to keep the names of his three children.

Krüger-Limberger was a member of the advisory board of the civil rights organization Humanist Union and was chairman of the “Forum for Völkervererstandung Lich e. V. “, an organization that primarily deals with the care of people with a migration background and in Krüger-Limberger looked after asylum seekers threatened with deportation. He was also temporarily a member of the board of trustees of the Wolf-Erich-Kellner Memorial Foundation .
