Ludwig Hoegner

Ludwig Hoegner, the great-grandson of former Bavarian Minister-President Wilhelm Hoegner, recently made headlines by leaving the SPD after 28 years. As a professor and the honorary chairman of the Bavarian People’s Foundation, he has been a notable figure in the political landscape, particularly associated with the Seeheimer Oberbayern group within the SPD. His departure was attributed to ongoing disputes with the Munich SPD regarding local election preparations, highlighting a rift within the party.
