Revision as of 14:40, 24 January 2007 by Smigs (talk | contribs) (dab Gotha)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Detlev Karsten Rohwedder (October 16, 1932 in Gotha - April 1, 1991 in Düsseldorf) was manager of Treuhandanstalt and German politician and member of the Social Democratic Party.
While responsible for the privatisation of former communist East Germany he was murdered while standing at the window of his highly guarded house by a military-grade sharp-shooter.
Reportedly opposed to an unrestricted sell-out of GDR's public-owned factories he may have occasionally favoured a worker-owned solution.
His successor Birgit Breuel, daughter of a millionaire banker, was more in favour of a speedy sell-off to investors.
