Wolfgang Schulz (politician)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wolfgang Schulz (born October 5, 1934 in Greifswald ) is a German politician ( SPD , CDU ).

Life

Schulz attended school in Greifswald, studied chemistry and did his doctorate at the University of Greifswald . In 1961, as a student, he was sentenced to two and a half years imprisonment for political statements at the University of Greifswald on charges of “state-endangering agitation and propaganda”, but was later acquitted in the appeal. From 1964 to 1990 he worked as a research assistant at the Central Institute for Organic Chemistry .

Schulz belonged to the state parliament of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania from 1990 to 1994 and during this time, as Parliamentary State Secretary, he was also an ombudsman for the state's Prime Minister. Schulz returned his SPD party book four weeks before the state elections on October 14, 1990 ; for reasons of electoral law, the SPD could not nominate a new candidate so shortly before the election. Schulz was elected in the Rostock II constituency. The state elections resulted in a stalemate (33 to 33 votes). Schulz decided to join the CDU. This was made possible by the black and yellow Gomolka government . His decision also had national political significance: through the three votes of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in the Federal Council , the Union-led states again had a majority there from October 1990.

After his time as a member of the state parliament and ombudsman, Schulz worked for three years as a general representative of a medium-sized company. Later he became an honorary mayor and community representative in Elmenhorst / Lichtenhagen as well as a member of the district council. He is an honorary member of the Leibniz Institute for Catalysis at the University of Rostock .
