Erik Tautenbach (February 8, 1937 – September 27, 2019) was a [[Besmenia|Besmenian]] politician who was [[Prime Minister of Besmenia|Prime Minister]] of Besmenia from 1992 to 2001.
'''Erik Tautenbach''' (8 February 1938 27 September 2019) was a [[Besmenia]]n politician who served as the 11th [[Prime Minister of Besmenia|Prime Minister]] of Besmenia from 1993 to 2001. He also was from 1985 to 2001 the chairman of the [[Besmenian People's Party]] and from 1986 to 1993 chairman of the BVP parliamentary group in the Federal Chamber and at the same time leader of the opposition.
Previously Tautenbach was from 1980 to 1983 Minister of Health in the [[First Beiter cabinet]] and from 1985 to 2000 the Leader of the [[Besmenian People's Party]].  
==Early life and education==
Erik Tautenbach was born in 1938 as the second child of Karla Tautenbach (1899-1976, nee Bergner) and Friedrich Tautenbach (1892-1969) in [[Eisenberg]], [[Neidenstein-Sulzburg]]. The family lived in the Eisenberg district of [[Guntsheim]], where Tautenbach grew up with his older brother Georg Tautenbach (1933-1952) and his younger sister Annegret Tautenbach (1940-). According to his own statement, one of the terrible events in Tautenbach's youth was the early death of his brother Georg in the [[World War (Iearth)|World War]], who died as a soldier in October 1952.


After the federal election 1992, Tautenbach formed between 1992 and 2000 the first blue-green coalition between the Besmenian People's Party and the [[Green Party of Besmenia]]. It was the first time in Besmenia that the GPB was involved in the federal government.

At the BVP party convention on June 15, 1985, Tautenbach was elected as the new BVP party chairman. Even before that, a large majority preferred Tautenbach as a possible party chairman. After taking office, Tautenbach's aim was to give the BVP a new image, as the party was still in some difficulties due to the [[Gleitzmann scandal]] back in September 1983. Under his leadership, BVP distanced itself completely from Gleitzmann and his politics. A new party logo was also introduced in October 1985.

When the BVP became the strongest party again in the [[1992 Besmenian federal election]], Tautenbach was commissioned by President [[Otto Schulz]] to form a government in mid-August 1992. The FBBP rejected a coalition with the BVP. This made a coalition with the SDU more likely. However, after lengthy coalition negotiations with the SDU, the BVP formed a minority government with the GPB. It is speculated to this day that Tautenbach had this goal from the start and that negotiations with the SDU were only pretend.
