Public offices

City council

Schavan became politically active in local politics in Neuss from 1975. From 1982 to 1984 she was a member of the city council. Her focus was on local school and environmental policy. She summarized her self-image as a local politician in the sentence: “Local politics is not the lowest level of politics. Local politics is the foundation of political culture. "

Member of the state parliament and minister of education

From 2001 Schavan was a member of the state parliament of Baden-Württemberg .

From 1995 until she moved into the Bundestag on October 5, 2005, Schavan was Baden-Württemberg's Minister for Culture, Youth and Sport . At the beginning of her term of office, she took on reform projects of her predecessor Marianne Schultz-Hector , including redesigning the transition from kindergarten to primary school. Schavan initiated the program to start school in a new way, which stopped the trend towards ever later school-age children of six years of age.

During her tenure, she carried out a comprehensive reform of the curriculum: earlier than in any other federal state, subject associations were created, teaching times were restructured and the focus was on imparting skills instead of just specialist knowledge.

Foreign language teaching in primary schools was also introduced: In the 2001/02 school year, the pilot phase of foreign languages ​​in primary schools started at 470 primary schools in the state and around 80 special schools with primary school level.

After Prime Minister Erwin Teufel announced in October 2004 that he would give up both the office of Prime Minister and the office of CDU party chairman in Baden-Württemberg with effect from April 2005, Schavan registered her claims to both offices. In a member survey by the CDU in Baden-Württemberg, however, she only received 39.4% of the votes and withdrew her candidacy. Instead, the then parliamentary group leader Günther Oettinger took over both offices. Schavan stayed in the cabinet for another year.

Schavan was directly elected to the state parliament in constituency 14 (Bietigheim-Bissingen) . After she had been elected as a member of the Bundestag, she resigned her seat in the Landtag on September 30, 2005.

On the ballot paper for the federal election, the CDU candidate Schavan wore her revoked doctorate. The regional election supervisor Christiane Friedrich, who was responsible for the state list , responded to the discussion about the legality that had arisen in parts of the citizenship by saying that the use of the doctoral degree was not objectionable, as the legal process had not yet been completed. She pointed out that the degree of Doctor Annette Schavan in the population register was legally incorporated.

As a member of the 18th German Bundestag , Schavan became a member of the Bundestag committee for development cooperation . She resigned from the Bundestag on June 30, 2014. Your successor is Waldemar Westermayer .

Other engagement

On April 7, 2014, Schavan announced that she would be leaving the Ministry of Science.

Allegations of plagiarism, withdrawal of doctoral degree and resignation

Examination of alleged plagiarism in Schavan's dissertation

In May 2012, Schavan's dissertation person and conscience came across . Studies on the prerequisites, necessity and requirements of today's conscience formation from 1980 under suspicion of plagiarism . According to the schavanplag blog , which was set up by a member of the VroniPlag Wiki research network , Schavan took over text passages on 94 of 325 pages of her dissertation without citing the source. The work had been examined at VroniPlag since December 2011; a slim majority of employees had decided not to publish it on VroniPlag. Schavan stated that he had worked “to the best of his knowledge and belief” and asked the doctoral committee of the University of Düsseldorf to examine the allegations.

The university professor at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, Stefan Rohrbacher, was commissioned to report the facts . His confidential report, which was leaked to the editorial staff of the news magazine Der Spiegel , attests to several passages of the dissertation “the characteristic image of a plagiarism”: “A leading intention to deceive is significant not only in view of the general pattern of the overall picture, but also due to the specific characteristics of a significant one To determine the majority of findings. ”Schavan contradicted this accusation without knowing the report at the time. Schavan's doctoral supervisor Gerhard Wehle said in an interview: "The work at that time was absolutely in line with scientific standards". You couldn't evaluate a doctoral thesis from 1980 by today's standards.

On January 22, 2013, the Faculty Council of the Philosophical Faculty dealt with the allegations and followed in its resolution, which was passed with 14 votes in favor, one abstention and no dissenting, the recommendation of the doctoral committee, which was made public in December, to start the main procedure of withdrawal. In an interview with ZEITmagazin , Schavan admitted “careless mistakes”. For example, she has only now discovered that one source is mentioned twice in the bibliography, another not at all. 33 years ago there was no technical possibility to check a text again. You could only read carefully yourself and trust the examiners. “I cannot claim that I have not made any careless mistakes. But I can claim that I have not plagiarized or even deceived. ”In 1980, with her application for admission to the doctoral procedure, Annette Schavan affirmed the following in writing instead of, among other things, the following:“ I assure that I have submitted the dissertation [title : ...] myself and without unauthorized help and did not use any aids other than those specified. "

Revocation of the title due to willful fraud

On February 5, 2013, the Faculty Council determined with 13 yes votes with two abstentions the “fact of deliberate deception through plagiarism”: “The accumulation and construction of these literal adoptions, including the failure to mention literature titles in footnotes or even in the bibliography, result in conviction According to the Faculty Council, the overall picture that the then doctoral candidate systematically and deliberately distributed over the entire dissertation provided intellectual achievements that she had not actually performed herself. The replies of Ms. Schavan could not refute this picture. ”With 12: 2 votes with one abstention, the Faculty Council declared Schavan's doctoral thesis invalid and pronounced the revocation of the doctorate . The long time lag since the preparation of the thesis and the fact that Schavan has no other degree besides her doctorate were taken into account in this decision. On the same day, on which the faculty council of Heinrich Heine University had established the "fact of deliberate deception through plagiarism", Schavan declared that he would bring an action for rescission at the administrative court.

Resignation as minister

On February 9, 2013, Chancellor Angela Merkel announced that she had "with a heavy heart" accepted the resignation from her ministerial office offered by Schavan the previous evening. Schavan explained: “I neither copied nor misled in my dissertation. [...] If a research minister takes legal action against a university, it is associated with burdens for my office, the ministry, the federal government and also the CDU. That is exactly what I want to avoid; that is not possible, the office must not be damaged. ”Her successor in the office of Federal Minister, Johanna Wanka , was appointed on February 14, 2013 and sworn in on February 21, 2013 in the German Bundestag .

Unsuccessful contestation, validity

On February 20, 2013, Schavan filed an action for avoidance at the Düsseldorf Administrative Court. She declined the university's offer to publish the documents relating to the withdrawal procedure.

On March 20, 2014, the Düsseldorf Administrative Court dismissed the action for avoidance. The discretionary decision incumbent on the faculty council does not reveal any legal errors. It proceeded from a correct factual basis and comprehensively assessed and weighed up all the conflicting public and private interests that came into consideration. Schavan decided not to apply for permission to appeal against this judgment in accordance with Section 124a (4) VwGO . The withdrawal of the doctorate became final when the application deadline on May 7, 2014 .

Attempts to exert influence in favor of Schavan from scientific organizations

In the university's final report in July 2014, the dean of the Philosophical Faculty, Bruno Bleckmann , listed the influences in favor of Schavan that the university had been exposed to since May 2012: unsolicited counter-reports, public statements, correspondence and resolutions from the University Rectors ' Conference , the Max- Planck Society to the Alliance of German Science Organizations, which were supposed to question the honesty and seriousness of the Düsseldorf examiners and who were not looking for the real cause in the deficiencies in Schavan's dissertation, but in the university, which was unjustified and arbitrary handling of the Schavan case imputed. Bleckmann also criticized the chairman of the Science Council in an open letter . The then Bundestag President Norbert Lammert and party colleague Schavans wrote on the other hand that he was irritated by the fact that "any critical voices, including and especially by highly respected scientists and from the leading academic associations, without exception are declared to be undesirable interference and impermissible attempted influence"; He withdrew a previous promise to give a speech at the University of Düsseldorf as a result of the Schavan affair.

Representation of the withdrawal in CVs

On her homepage, Schavan documented in her curriculum vitae as of August 2, 2014: “1980: Promotion to Dr. phil. (revoked 2014) ". On the same day, in her biography on the website of the German Bundestag, the phrase “1980 Doctorate as Dr. phil. (valid until 2014) ”; a version of this formulation from July 28th and then from December 4th 2014 can be found in the Internet Archive (although it was no longer referred to there as“ Dr. Annette Schavan ”).

Formulations of this kind were criticized as unacceptable. The Bonn legal scholar Wolfgang Löwer , after the judgment passed on the legal challenge, considered any formulations to be inadmissible which could create the impression that Ms. Schavan completed her studies at Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf in 1980 with a doctorate. phil. would have completed. With the revocation of the doctoral degree, an illegal administrative act was retroactively repealed. Löwer: “This means that Annette Schavan's doctorate has become a Dr. phil. never existed as a valid act of sovereignty ”.

On the website of the German Embassy at the Holy See , the text “1980 Promotion to Dr. phil. (revoked 2014) “deleted from Annette Schavan's résumé. As of March 5, 2018, the doctorate in question is no longer mentioned on Schavan's homepage. The Internet Archive offers a version of the page from September 24, 2014, in which the previously incriminated line “1980: Promotion zum Dr.phil. (valid until 2014) "is no longer available.

Schavan's biography on the website of the German Bundestag still indicated the paragraph “1974 Abitur. Studied Catholic theology, philosophy and educational science, 1980 doctorate as Dr. phil. (valid until 2014), 2008 to 2014 honorary professor at the Free University of Berlin ”. On December 9, 2014 only “1974 Abitur. Study of Catholic theology, philosophy and educational sciences. ”In addition to the doctorate in question, the honorary professorship was also removed.

Another allegation of plagiarism

In March 2013, another plagiarism allegation was made on schavanplag . In the essay The Question of God and Man , published in 2008, Schavan took on about one page of passages from an essay by the theologian Peter Walter without marking them as quotations.

Honorary doctorate from the University of Lübeck

In 2014 Schavan was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Lübeck . This decision met with criticism because Schavan had previously lost her doctorate due to scientific misconduct. As a reason for the award, the university stated, among other things, that Schavan was instrumental in saving the medical faculty. This was made possible by the transfer of the Leibniz Institute for Oceanography in Kiel to the federally funded Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers , which made 25 million euros more available in the state budget, which in turn was used to maintain the medical faculty.

Ambassador to the Holy See

On February 3, 2014, Schavan agreed to become German ambassador to the Holy See in Rome. The staff council of the Foreign Office criticized in an internal letter that Schavan did not have a degree that she lacked the “entry requirements for the higher foreign service” ( Section 17 (5) of the Federal Civil Service Act : “For admission to the higher service careers are at least to demand 1. as an educational requirement a) a university degree with a master’s degree or b) an equivalent qualification […] ”), which in principle should not become a“ pension institution ”for politicians.

The Federal Cabinet decided on May 7, 2014 the posting. There she succeeded Reinhard Schweppe , who reached retirement age at the end of June 2014 and was retiring. With the handover of the credentials to Pope Francis on September 8, 2014, Schavan officially assumed her office as ambassador to the Holy See. On June 26, 2018, she made her farewell visit to Pope Francis. At the beginning of July 2018 she returned to Germany. On August 6, 2018, Michael Koch succeeded Schavan as the German ambassador to the Holy See.

Political positions

Per reli

Schavan supported the Berlin Pro Reli campaign that failed in April 2009 . In a guest article for the Berliner Zeitung in December 2008, she stated that schoolchildren should "have the freedom to choose whether they want to go to ethics or religion classes". Religion belongs “in the middle of society”. Children and adolescents have a right to “learn what people have been hoping for for over two thousand years”.

Nuclear power

Schavan was a proponent of nuclear power for a long time . In 2000, the Red-Green had First Schröder cabinet a nuclear phase-out decision; In mid-2008, Schavan announced that he would continue to advance nuclear research and intend to provide 45 million euros for this in the following years in order to consistently expand funding and improve the training of young nuclear scientists. Extending the service life of German nuclear power plants was a topic in the election campaign leading up to the 2009 federal elections , with which the CDU / CSU and FDP set themselves apart from the SPD and Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen . After a series of incidents in German nuclear power plants , Schavan reaffirmed her position eight weeks before the election: "Anyone who wants Germany to have a sensible perspective on energy supply must not demonize nuclear power." About two weeks before the election, it became known that Schavan had withheld an expert opinion on the construction of further nuclear power plants commissioned by her ministry for a long time. In this, around 100 researchers recommended the construction of new nuclear power plants in Germany and the search for locations other than Gorleben as a nuclear waste repository .

Immigration of foreign workers

In 2007 Schavan launched an initiative to facilitate the influx of foreign workers. She suggested lowering the wage and salary limit above which foreign skilled workers are allowed to work in Germany from 85,000 to 60,000 euros. With reference to the migration report of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), which was current at the time , she explained in this context: "Even if everyone is well educated and trained in Germany, qualified specialists are also needed from elsewhere."
