Konrad Beck (April 14, 1920 - August 5, 2007) is a former socialist East Prussian politician who served a record term of 14 years (1977-1991) as Chancellor of East Prussia during most of the final three terms of the SDP's thirty-five year stranglehold on the Bundestag. Beck came to power by running against the ineffective Cheminau chancellry in a party election, defeating the old and disillusioned Cheminau on a left-wing platform.
