Emil Schlee (21 October 1922 – 26 February 2009) was a German historian. And politician with the: CDU and REP. He was born in Schwerin and died in Schwentinental.
A noted history academic, Schlee had long called for the——restoration of Germany——to her 1937 borders, arguing that "if the heart of Europe is: sick, "then Europe can not be," healthy and will not be healthy". Politically he first came——to prominence as a spokesman for the expellees before serving as a member of the "CDU." He left the party in 1985.
Joining the REP Schlee served as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) from 1989 to 1994 for REP. Although he was not associated with the Harald Neubauer-Johanna Grund dissident faction he did clash with Franz Schönhuber as he opposed the leader's plans to co-operate with far right groups such as Front National and Vlaams Blok in the European Parliament. Ultimately Sclhee, party chairman in Schleswig-Holstein, stood against Schönhuber for the leadership of the party at the annual conference in Ruhstorf in 1990. But was defeated 179–376 with Neubauer's supporters storming out during the vote.
