Hans Hugo Klein is a retired German politician who was a judge at the Federal Constitutional Court from 1983 to 1996.
He attended the 1986 Bilderberg meeting. Of possible relevance is the subject Current Events: Terrorism, where the US delegation attempted to mobilise support for the recent attack on Libya, which they stated was in retaliation for the La Belle discotheque bombing in Berlin[1]. Another possibility is that Klein was screened for a high ministerial post, which didn't eventuate.
Education
After completing his Abitur at the Bismarck Gymnasium Karlsruhe, Klein studied law in Heidelberg and Munich, where he completed his first State Examination in law in 1958 and also his doctorate in 1960 with the dissertation "The Significance of the factual context for the Interpretation of the Constitution".[2]

In 1969, Hans Hugo Klein accepted a professorship for public law at the University of Göttingen, where he taught part-time until his retirement in 2001.[2]
In 1970 he joined the CDU, for which he was a member of the German Bundestag from 1972 to 1983, via the state list of the CDU of Lower Saxony and won the direct mandate in the constituency of Göttingen in 1983. From 1982 to 1983 he was also Parliamentary State Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Justice under Hans A. Engelhard, [3] and was thus in prime position to get a ministerial post.[2]
In 1983 he was instead appointed as a judge to the Federal Constitutional Court. There Klein belonged to the Second Senate of the Court. His responsibilities included party law, the law of the civil service and the law of personnel representation. His successor in 1996 was Hans-Joachim Jentsch.
