German politician
Albert Probst (29 December 1931 – 24 March 2015) was a German politician for the Christian Social Union of Bavaria. From 1982 to 1991 he was parliamentary Secretary of State at the Federal Ministry for Research and Technology.[1]
Education and occupation
Probst was born in Garching bei München, Upper Bavaria. After graduation in 1951 from the Maximilians Gymnasium in Munich, Probst took an agricultural apprenticeship. He then studied agricultural sciences at the Technical University of Munich, graduating in 1958 with a diploma as an agricultural engineer. In Munich, he served in the Catholic student group K. D. St. V. Agilolfia in Freising. He then joined the agricultural civil service, working at the milk research institute at TU Munich. He left this institute in 1961, after completing research.
He returned to TU Munich in 1963, after two years as an agriculture adviser in France, to work on a research project concerning population genetics. At this time he began to participate in municipal politics.
Party
Probst was deputy chair of the culture team of the Christian Socialist Union for many years.
History
From 1960 to 1973 he belonged to the country of the circle day of the district of Munich. He was also a member of the Garching local council from 1966 until 1990.

Until 1982, he chaired the science development team and served as spokesperson for the Christian Socialist Union rural group.
