Otto Fricke

politician Germany

Otto Fricke is a German lawyer and politician, known for his long-standing affiliation with the Free Democratic Party (FDP). He served in the German Bundestag from 2002 to 2013 and again from 2017 until 2025, where he held the position of budgetary spokesperson and was the chairman of the Budget Committee from 2005 to 2009. Recently, Fricke was appointed as the designated chairman of the German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB), a notable position that bridges the realms of sports and politics, though his lack of prior experience in organized sports has raised some concerns. His dual role in both the DOSB and the FDP has sparked discussions about the intersection of political influence in sports governance.
