Dr.Rudi Georgi (born 25 December 1927 in Bockau) was a politician and public official in the German Democratic Republic.Between 1973 and 1989 he served as a junior member of the country's Council of Ministers, being one of the (at times more than fifteen) government ministers responsible for an industrial sector deemed important enough to justify having its own minister: he was the "Minister for the Production of Tooling and Processing Machinery".
