Detlev Rohwedder (* 16. October 1932 in Gotha (East Germany); † 1. April 1991 in Düsseldorf) was Manager and german Politician.

Succesfull business man and Social Democrat party member.

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.
