From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Lothar de Maizière (born 2 March 1940) is a German politician from East Germany. He used to be in the Berlin symphony orchestra and in 1990 was elected to the Volkskammer as a member of the CDU. He was the successor to Hans Modrow as Prime Minister. After German Reunification he became a CDU minister until allegations that he had worked for the Stasi led to his resignation in 1991.
