Life

After passing the second state examination in 1976, Wolfgang von Ancken worked at the Federal Cartel Office , the Federal Ministry of Economics , the Lower Saxony Ministry of Economics and the State Chancellery of Lower Saxony and from 1990 at the Treuhandanstalt .

Von Ancken chaired the Sparkasse Eckernförde administrative board for a while . In addition, he was head of the association of the Förde Sparkasse until 2008 .

During his tenure as district administrator, the CDU criticized his execution. With a large majority, the CDU district parliamentary group as well as the CDU district executive decided to put up a new candidate for the district election in 2008 and thus withdrew from Ancken any support. He announced in June 2007 that he would be running for the district administrator's post as a free candidate and would reduce the cooperation with the CDU to a formal cooperation. In this election on May 25, 2008, von Anken stood against the new CDU candidate Rolf-Oliver Schwemer ( independent ) and the candidate Frank Martens ( SPD ), but retired in the first round of the direct election. Von Ancken's term of office ended on June 30, 2008. He was the first directly elected district administrator in the state of Schleswig-Holstein and, until the abolition of direct elections in 2009, is the only one who was defeated as incumbent district administrator in a direct election and left office after being voted out .

Wolfgang von Ancken was a member of the CDU , but left the party in 2010.
