Résumé
Wolfgang Fürniß, also spelt Fuerniss (8 July 1944 – 21 April 2017), was a politician from the Christian Democratic Union (CDU).
Born in Heidelberg, Baden-Württemberg, Fuerniss studied at the University of Heidelberg, majoring in Political Science, English and History from 1966 until 1971. While in University, he was a member of the Young Union (Jungen Union), the youth organization of the CDU.
From 1973 until 1984, Fuerniss worked under Roman Herzog in State of Rhineland-Palatinate, in Bonn with the Federal Government and in State of Baden-Württemberg.

In 1992, Fuerniss left public service to join SAP AG as the Senior Vice President of International Government and Corporate Relations. On behalf of SAP AG, he negotiated and pioneered the first Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise (WFOE) in China in the early 1990s. He was also a member of the SAP China Board of Directors.
In 1998, Fuerniss campaigned for the Lord Mayor position for the City of Heidelberg, but fell short against Wolfgang Lachenauer and Beate Weber.
In 1999, Fuerniss was appointed Economics Minister in the State ('Land') of Brandenburg, Germany under Manfred Stolpe. He was responsible for development of business and industry in Brandenburg, which surrounds the German capital, Berlin.
