Werner Broll, a German politician of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and former member of the German Bundestag, died October 29, 2026, aged 94.
Born in Hanover on May 22, 1932, he studied history and German language and literature in Munich and Münster. He completed the First State Examination in 1956 and the Second State Examination in 1958, then worked as a secondary-school teacher.
He remained in the teaching profession, most recently holding the position of senior student councilor. Broll’s political activity included local government and leadership in the CDU. He served on the council of the city of Oldenburg from 1968 to 1977. From 1970 to 1987, he chaired the district CDU, a role that overlapped with his municipal service during its first seven years and continued for a decade after it ended. His career also included membership in the Bundestag, Germany’s federal parliament. His university studies and professional life encompassed history, German language and literature, and secondary education; his political work ranged from city government to district party leadership and national parliamentary service. The dates of his council and party leadership roles place those activities across nearly two decades of local and regional politics, before his biography records his service as a former Bundestag member.
