CDU Interior Politician Fiedler Dies - Prominent Thuringian Politician Wolfgang Fiedler Dies at 73
Wolfgang Fiedler, a prominent figure in Thuringian politics, has passed away at the age of 73. The long-serving interior politico of the CDU state parliament faction died on Wednesday following a brief, serious illness, with his family by his side.
Fiedler's political career spanned over three decades, from 1990 to 2019. He served as a member of the Thuringian parliament and also held the position of honorary mayor of Tröbnitz in the Saale-Holzland district. Throughout his time in politics, Fiedler was known for his dedication to order, security, and civic engagement, earning him the title of a 'reliable voice' for these causes.
Colleagues from both sides of the political spectrum paid tribute to Fiedler. Lutz Liebscher, SPD faction leader, described him as a contentious colleague who 'took the parliament seriously'. Georg Maier, SPD chairman and interior minister, praised Fiedler as an 'upright democrat and passionate interior politico'. Andreas Buhl, head of the CDU state parliament faction, highlighted Fiedler's representation of the Saale-Holzland district in various roles.
Mario Voigt, Thuringia's Minister-President and CDU state chairman, remembered Fiedler as a figure who shaped Thuringian state politics for over three decades. Despite his political differences, Fiedler was respected for his commitment to his beliefs and his contributions to the state.
Wolfgang Fiedler's death leaves a significant void in Thuringian politics. His legacy as a dedicated interior politico and advocate for his community will be remembered. As of now, there is no information about his successor as the interior politico of the CDU parliamentary group in Erfurt.
