Landtag of Rhineland-Palatinate
}} Kurt Beck (born 5 February 1949) is a German politician of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), who served as the 7th Minister President of Rhineland-Palatinate from 1994 to 2013 and as the 55th President of the Bundesrat in 2000–01.
From 1963 to 1968, Beck became an electrician.
After military duty in 1968 and 1969, he graduated from an evening school in 1972.
Since then, he served as an employee representative on works councils.
After joining the SPD in 1972, mainly because of the Party's programme as well as the personality of Willy Brandt, Beck became chairman of the SPD of Rhineland Palatinate in 1993 and deputy chairman of the federal party in 2003.
Beck has been active in local affairs since 1974, when he was first elected a member of the Kreistag.
From 1979, he was a directly elected member of the Landtag of Rhineland-Palatinate, in which he served as the speaker for social affairs of the Parliamentary group of the SPD (from 1982 to 1985) and as a member of the governing body of the group from 1985 to 1991, when he was elected chairman.
From 1989 to 1994, he was mayor of his hometown Steinfeld.
On 26 October 1994 Kurt Beck was elected Minister President of Rhineland-Palatinate, succeeding Rudolf Scharping.
He was re-elected three times, in 1996, 2001 and 2006.
As Minister President he was known for his centrist approach, which is also apparent from the choice of his coalition partner (the liberal FDP instead of the left-wing Green Party, with which the SPD has recently allied itself).
In this respect, he follows the policy of Scharping.
In 2000 and 2001, Beck was President of the Bundesrat, one of his duties as Minister President.
In May 2006, he succeeded Matthias Platzeck as chairman of the German Social Democratic Party (SPD).
He served in this function until 14 May 2006.
In March 2006, Beck's SPD gained an absolute majority in the state elections; Beck offered to continue the coalition but since the FDP declined, the SPD formed a government without a partner.
When Matthias Platzeck had to resign for medical reasons in 2006, Beck was officially elected as chairman of the SPD with the approval of 95% of the delegates.
He became the party’s fourth chairman in seven years.
Beck decided not to join the cabinet and succeed Vice-Chancellor Franz Müntefering because it would have prevented him from criticizing Chancellor Angela Merkel's coalition government.
After Edmund Stoiber resigned in 2007, Beck was the senior Minister President in Germany.
During his time in office, Beck's decisions in Rhineland-Palatinate to increase efficiency in the state government via administrative reorganisation, and to introduce full-day schooling and free kindergartens, drew national attention.
The state also emerged as one of the country’s top economic performers.
When the United States Armed Forces closed dozens of camps and barracks with the loss of 100,000 jobs, Beck's government invested heavily in retraining schemes, creating 40,000 new jobs.
He resigned from that post in September 2008.
According to public opinion polls during his time as party chairman, his possibilities of becoming Chancellor, if he had run for this office in the 2009 election, had been very limited.
On 28 September 2012 Beck announced his resignation from the post of minister-president.
Beck was born in Bad Bergzabern, Rhineland-Palatinate, to the bricklayer Oskar Beck and his wife Johanna.
Both his parents had their roots in the town Kapsweyer in southern Rhenish Palatinate.
In September 2012, Beck announced his resignation.
He had been under pressure for weeks over the bankruptcy of the Nürburgring motorsports complex in Rhineland-Palatinate, one of the world's most famous race tracks.
