Max Streibl (January 6, 1932 in Oberammergau – December 11, 1998 in Munich) was a German politician of the CSU party and former Minister President of Bavaria. ==Life== Max Streibel was born in Oberammergau in 1932, where his parents owned a hotel business. He married his wife Irmingard in 1960 and they had one daughter and two sons. After going to school in Ettal, he studied law in Munich, graduating in 1955. He worked in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, and later, at the German ''Bundesrat'' in Bonn and joint the local government of the region of Upper Bavaria in 1960. From 1961, he worked for the state government and began to rise in the ranks of the CSU. From 1961 to 1967, he led the ''Junge Union'', the ''Young Union'', an organisation of his party aimed at young, new members. He became a member of the Bavarian ''Landtag'' in 1962, a position he held until 1994, when he retired. He was then the General Secretary of the party from 1967 to 1970. Max Streibl served as Bavarian Minister for the Environment (1970–1977), a newly formed ministry, and for Finance (1977–1988). After the sudden death of Franz Josef Strauß in 1988, Max Streibl succeeded him as ''Ministerpräsident'' of Bavaria on 19 October 1988. Max Streibl was deeply rooted in Catholicism, but soon became unpopular because of alleged bribery (he was paid holiday trips by Burkhart Grob, the chairman of an aircraft producing company〔(GERMANS CANCEL BIG U.S. PURCHASE ) The New York Times, 4 February 1993, accessed: 10 May 2008〕). Because of this so-called "amigo-affair",〔(Germany-Government and Politics ) Encyclopædia Britannica online, accessed: 10 May 2008〕 coming to the surface in January 1993, he was forced to resign on 27 May 1993 and Edmund Stoiber took office, despite the latter being involved in the affair, too.〔(Democracy and Corruption in Europe ) google book review, author: Donatella Della Porta, Yves Mény, publisher: Continuum International Publishing Group, page 89-90, accessed: 10 May 2008〕 The affair did result in a policy change in Bavaria, aimed at untangling the connections between politics and business.〔(Handbook of Research on Entrepreneurship Policy ) google book review, author: David B. Audretsch, Isabel Grilo, A. Roy Thurik, publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing, page 204, accessed: 10 May 2008〕 Streibl's defiant final words upon his resignation, with a tear in his eyes, were "Adios Amigos!".〔(Gerster ist unschuldig! ) (in German), author: Hagen Reimer, free lance journalist, accessed: 10 May 2008〕〔(Vom Vater hat sie nicht nur die Gestik geerbt ) (in German) Berliner Zeitung online, 22 September 1999, accessed: 10 May 2008〕 He retired from politics shortly after and died in December 1998 in Munich. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Max Streibl」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
