Uwe Ronneburger
Uwe Ronneburger (born November 23, 1920 in Kiel ; † October 1, 2007 in Tetenbüll ) was a German politician ( FDP ).
From 1980 to 1983 he was chairman of the committee for intra-German relations and from May to December 1990 chairman of the defense committee of the German Bundestag. From 1976 to 1982 he was also deputy federal chairman of the FDP.
Life and work
After graduating from high school in the summer of 1939, Ronneburger was first drafted into the Reich Labor Service and then into the Wehrmacht . At the end of the war he was first lieutenant at sea in the reserve on a torpedo boat . Shortly before the end of the war, he was taken prisoner of war . From 1945 to 1948 he completed practical and theoretical training in agriculture and from 1948 was a self-employed farmer .
Ronneburger was a Protestant, married and had five children.
Political party
Ronneburger originally belonged to the German party , but joined the FDP in 1957 . There he was first district chairman, from 1970 then also state chairman in Schleswig-Holstein . He held this office until 1983. From November 1976 to November 1982 he was Deputy Federal Chairman.
After the change of the FDP from the social-liberal coalition under Helmut Schmidt to a Christian-liberal coalition under Helmut Kohl , he sharply criticized the then FDP federal chairman Hans-Dietrich Genscher and stood against Genscher for the party chairmanship in the internal party elections in November 1982. He received 169 of the votes cast - around 45% - and was only barely defeated. His result and the election of Gerhart Baum as deputy federal chairman meant that many members of the center-left wing remained loyal to the party because they realized that their influence was not as small as feared.
