KLAUS BECKER presents:

PROFESSOR DR. KURT BIEDENKOPF


VIRTUALLY EVERY GERMAN, 30 YEARS AND OLDER, KNOWS PROF. BIEDENKOPF, BUT NOT EVERY AMERICAN KNOWS HIM (YET). HE IS ONE OF THE MOST PROMINENT POST-FALL-OF-THE-WALL GERMAN POLITICIANS.

HE HAS LOCAL TIES:

•       HE WAS THE FIRST GERMAN FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENT AT DAVIDSON COLLEGE

•       FROM WHOM HE RECEIVED THE HONORARY DOCTORATE IN 1974

THEN, HE WENT  INTO ACADEMIA AND WAS CHANCELLOR OF THE RUHR-UNIVERSITAET BOCHUM (MY OWN ALMA MATER)

ENTERED THEN THE POLITICAL ARENA:

•       HE WAS SECRETARY GENERAL OF THE CDU (EQU. TO THE REPUBLICANS)

•       WAS PRESIDENT OF THE GERMAN SENATE (BUNDESRAT)

AND BECAME VERY WELL-KNOWN

•       BY BECOMING PRIME MINISTER OF SAXONY, MADE THIS STATE GREAT AND POTENT AND BROUGHT IT BACK TO OLD GLORY, HE WAS SO BELOVED BY THE SAXONS THAT THEY CALLED HIM ‘KING KURT’
