Wolfram Brück

Wolfram Brück (27 February 1937 – 15 June 2016) was a German lawyer politician of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) who served as the Mayor of Frankfurt between 1986 and 1989.

He took over the role of mayor after Walter Wallmann left office to serve in the federal government, and his tenure lasted until the next local election in 1989 in which the CDU lost its majority in the Landtag of Hesse.

[2] Brück found himself in the national spotlight in September 1986 after having postponed the opening of the U6 and U7 lines of the Frankfurt U-Bahn following a political dispute with the regional council of Darmstadt and a citizen's initiative against the expansion of rail networks in the city centre.

[3] Brück's tenure saw the opening of high-rise buildings such as the Messeturm and Westendstrasse 1, as well as the creation of city partnerships with Toronto (Canada) and Guangzhou (China).

Duales System was the company which introduced the "Grüner Punkt", the forerunner of the "Green Dot" symbol for recycling.
