Wolfgang Branoner

Wolfgang Branoner (born 15 April 1956) is a Berlin politician (CDU) and businessman. (More recently he has become a business consultant.) As Berlin's high-profile senator for Economics, Business and Technology he took a notably pro-business stance. His opposition to excessive regulation was evident in his eye-catching 1999 proposal for a federal (i.e. national) law to limit the power of state ("Länder" i.e.regional) governments to impose restrictive opening hours on shops.
