Parties - SPD politician Frieder Birzele is dead
The former Minister of the Interior of Baden-Württemberg, Frieder Birzele (SPD), has died at the age of 83. He succumbed to the consequences of pneumonia on Monday in Göppingen hospital surrounded by his family. This was announced by his family on Wednesday.
Birzele was elected to the state parliament for the constituency of Göppingen in 1976 and was a member until 2006. He served his parliamentary group as deputy chairman from 1980 to 1992. He chaired the committees of inquiry into the trips at business expense of Minister President Lothar Späth (CDU), who resigned in 1991, and the FlowTex fraud scandal, which cost billions.
During the grand coalition under Minister President Erwin Teufel(CDU), Birzele was Minister of the Interior from 1992 to 1996.
Interior Minister Thomas Strobl (CDU) said that Birzele was committed to security and order for the people of the state during his time in office. "Throughout his life, lively local politics was a matter close to his heart."
SPD state leader Andreas Stoch said that Birzele was a lawyer and politician and both with heart and soul. "He wanted to create justice and defend justice. And he always did that. In the SPD, in the trade union and as Minister of the Interior." In Birzele, the Social Democrats have lost a good friend and wise advisor who, even in old age and despite personal setbacks, never lost interest in politics and never lost his enjoyment of it.
