Background
Birgit Münchmeyer came from a Lower Saxony family of traders and private bankers. She is the daughter of merchant bankers who owned the bank Münchmeyer & Co.. Her father was President of the German Banking Association 1968-1975. On 8 August 1959 she married the Hamburg merchant Ernst-Jürgen Breuel (born 7 October 1931 in Hamburg).[1]
Education
Breuel studied political science at the Universities of Hamburg, Oxford and Geneva, but without finishing with a degree due to her marraiage.[1]
Career
In 1966, Breuel entered into the CDU. She was a city councilor in Hamburg from 1970 until 1978. She attended her first Bilderberg meeting in 1973, when her father was President of the German Banking Association.
From 1978 to 1986 she was State Minister of Economy and Transport in Lower Saxony, then to 1990 was the State Minister of Finance in the cabinet of Minister-President Ernst Albrecht. During this time she attended the 1979 and Bilderberg/1980 Bilderberg meetings.
She also sat on the boards of various German corporations, including Volkswagen.[2]
In 1990 she was on the board of Treuhandanstalt, the privatization of former East German assets, one of the largest looting operations in history, benefiting mostly West German banks.
She was appointed president of Treuhandanstalt in April 1991, after the assassination of her predecessor Detlev Rohwedder in a suspected false flag attack. With the end of the operation in December 1994, she finished her position. During this time she attended the 1991, 1992 and 1994 Bilderberg meetings.
While Rohwedder had been cautious about the sale of most of the state assets, favouring reforming the companies before a sale, if possible. Breuel favoured quick privatization handing the choice assets to Western banks, closing the rest. In mid-May 1991, after a month, she had sold six hundred companies, as much as Rohwedder did in seven months. At the end of 1991, there are five thousand, and by July 1992, six thousand five hundred companies were sold.[1]
In 1995 she became leader of the planned Expo 2000 in Hannover.
She was member of several supervisory boards including Ciba-Geigy, Novartis and Gruner + Jahr.[1]
