Early life and education[]
After graduating from high school in 1985 at the Gymnasium Fabritianum in Krefeld-Uerdingen, Fricke completed his military service in the German Air Force from 1985 to 1986. From 1986 to 1992 he studied law at the University of Freiburg. After his legal clerkship, he passed his second state examination in law in Düsseldorf in 1995. He was admitted to the bar in 1995.
From 1996 to 2002, Fricke worked as parliamentary advisor for legal policy and parliamentary law for the FDP parliamentary group in the Bundestag.
Political career[]
Fricke has been a member of the FDP since 1989. From 2002 to 2013 he was a member of the German Bundestag, into which he always entered via the North Rhine-Westphalia state list. In the Bundestag he was chairman of the Budget Committee from 2005 to 2009. On 26 October 2009, Fricke was elected by the FDP parliamentary group in the Bundestag as one of four parliamentary managing directors. Due to his party's failure to reach the five-percent hurdle in the 2013 federal election, he lost his seat in the Bundestag.
In the 2017 Bundestag elections, Fricke ran for election in the Bundestag constituency 110 (Krefeld I – Neuss II) and entered the Bundestag via the North Rhine-Westphalia state list (list position 7). In parliament, he serves on the Budget Committee again.[2] He is also an alternate member of the Committee on the Election of Judges (Wahlausschuss), which is in charge of appointing judges to the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany.
