Gerhard Riege (23 May 1930 - 15 February 1992) was a respected East German law professor.
On 18 March 1990 East Germany held the first truly free election in that part of Germany since 1932. Riege had accepted nomination as a list candidate for the electoral district of Thuringia, and was elected to the East German Volkskammer (national parliament). On 3 October 1990 he was one of 144 nominated Volkskammer members who moved across to the enlarged German Bundestag (national parliament) following reunification.[1] He was then elected to the Bundestag in the December general election later that year.[2]
The media soul-searching, which found a focus deep inside the political class, and which followed Gerhard Riege's suicide, reflected many enduring dilemmas and discomfitures that have followed in the wake of reunification.[3][4][5]
