Max Streibl

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Max Streibl (January 6, 1932 - December 11, 1998) was a German politician of the CSU party.

Max Streibl served as Bavarian Minister for the Environment (1970-1977) and for Finance (1977-1988). After the death of Franz Josef Strauß in 1988 Max Streibl succeeded him as prime minister (Ministerpräsident) of Bavaria. 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). Because of this so-called "amigo-affair" he was forced to resign in 1993 and Edmund Stoiber took office. Max Streibl was married and had one daughter and two sons.
