Biography
German politician of the CSU who was Bavarian Minister-President from 1988 to 1993. From 1961 to 1967, he led the Junge Union. He became a member of the Bavarian Landtag in 1962, a position he held until 1994, when he retired. He was then the General Secretary of the party from 1967 to 1970. Streibl served as Bavarian Minister for the Environment (1970–1977), a newly formed ministry, and for Finance (1977–1988). After the sudden death of Franz Josef Strauß in 1988, Streibl succeeded him as Ministerpräsident of Bavaria on 19 October 1988. Streibl was deeply rooted in Catholicism, but soon became unpopular because of alleged bribery (he received paid holiday trips from Burkhart Grob, the chairman of an aircraft production company). Because of this so-called "amigo-affair", coming to the surface in January 1993, he was forced to resign on 27 May 1993 and Edmund Stoiber took office, despite the latter being involved in the affair, too. Streibl's defiant final words upon his resignation, with a tear in his eyes, were "Adios Amigos!".
His parents owned a hotel business. He married his wife Irmingard in 1960 and they had one daughter and two sons. He died on 11 December 1998 in Munich at age 66.
