Cajus Julius Caesar (born 22 January 1951)[1] is a German politician of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU). He served in the Bundestag, the parliament of Germany, 1998–2005, 2007–2009 and 2011–2017.

Life

[edit]

Caesar was born in Rinteln. He attended primary school in Nettelstedt [de] and secondary school in Lübbecke before an apprenticeship as a forester and studies of forestry at the state forestry school in Arnsberg, passing his forestry diploma in 1974. He worked in forestry and forestry administration from 1974 to 1998.[1]

Caesar is a Protestant. He is married to Gudrun Caesar and has two sons and a daughter.[2] The name "Cajus Julius Caesar", referencing the Roman general and politician Gaius Julius Caesar, has become a family tradition; however, Caesar states that he can neither prove or disprove to be related to the ancient Roman. Both Caesar's father and one of his sons, a pilot, also share the name, as does his grandson.[3] When he first met Minister of the Interior Wolfgang Schäuble, Caesar had to prove his name with his driver's license.[4]

Caesar, a long-time member of the forest protection association Schutzgemeinschaft Deutscher Wald [de], received the Goldene Tanne (Golden fir tree) award in 2016.[5]

Political career

[edit]

Caesar became a member of the Junge Union and the CDU in 1969 and held various local chair positions in his party before becoming district chair in 1990.[1] He was a member of the Bundestag 1998–2005, 2007–2009 and 2011–2017, always standing in the Lippe I constituency but elected via the CDU party list for North Rhine-Westphalia.[2] In the 2005 German federal election, Caesar seemed to have won a seat but after a delayed election in Dresden I where the CDU candidate was elected, the seat fell to the Saarland party list instead.[6] Caesar became a member of parliament again when Reinhard Göhner resigned his seat in 2007.[7] After failing to be reelected in the 2009 German federal election, Caesar again replaced a retiring member, Leo Dautzenberg,[8] from 2011 until 2017.[2]

In 2018, Caesar was named the government's forestry representative by the Federal Minister of Agriculture Julia Klöckner.[9]
