About Hans Filbinger

  • Hans Karl Filbinger (15 September 1913 – 1 April 2007) was a conservative German politician and a leading member of the centre-right Christian Democratic Union in the 1960s and 1970s, serving as the first chairman of the CDU Baden-Württemberg and vice chairman of the federal CDU.
  • He was Minister President of Baden-Württemberg from 1966 to 1978 and as such also chaired the Bundesrat in 1973/74.
  • He founded the conservative think tank Studienzentrum Weikersheim, which he chaired until 1997. Filbinger had to resign as minister president and party chairman after allegations about his role as a navy lawyer and judge in the Second World War.
  • While the CDU Baden-Württemberg elected him honorary chairman — a position he held until his death — he remained a controversial figure.
