Matthias "Max" Otte (born 7 October 1964) is an economist, publicist and political activist who holds German and U.S. citizenship. Otte, who has held professorships in Worms, Graz and Erfurt, is currently a fund manager.[1] He has written several bestsellers, mainly on financial policy topics.[2][3][4]
From June 2018 to January 2021, Otte was chairman of the board of trustees of the AfD-affiliated Desiderius-Erasmus-Foundation. A member of the CDU since 1991,[5] he led the Werteunion from May 2021[6] until January 2022.[7] In January 2022, Otte became provisorily expelled from the CDU when he was nominated by the right-wing populist party AfD as a candidate for the 2022 German presidential election.[8][9] He faced further proceedings for a permanent exclusion from the CDU[9] which concluded in August 2022 with Otte's formal expulsion from the CDU.[10]
