Birgit Lohmeyer , maiden name Birgit H. Hölscher (born September 10, 1958 in La Laguna, Panamá Oeste Province , Panama ) is a German educator , writer and politician ( SPD ).

Education and profession

Birgit Hölscher began visiting prisoners in Hamburg's correctional facilities as early as the late 1970s . From 1980 she studied educational science at the University of Hamburg with a focus on extracurricular youth and adult education, deviance pedagogy and completed the supplementary course in the field of criminology . She completed her studies in 1985 with a degree in education . She then worked in the field of addiction prevention and counseling for ten years .

From 2003 she is responsible for the coordinator of the advanced training and works as editor of the association magazine as well as in the website editing of the Central Association of German Business Associations for Trade Brokerage and Distribution (CDH). Since September 2015 she wrote as an editor for the magazine for members of the Education and Science Union (GEW) the national association Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

Literary work

She has been a freelance writer since 1998 and has written stories, short stories and novels, as well as book reviews and journalistic texts for web and print. She processes her experiences in prisons, in the drug scene and in Hamburg's red-light district St. Pauli in writing.

Birgit Lohmeyer is a member of the Association of German Writers and teaches literary writing. So she is z. B. since 2006 as a course leader of the holiday academy " Creative Writing " of the Westphalian Literature Office (WLB) in Unna . In 2008 she founded the Wismar reading stage “WortReich”.

Further fields of activity are experimental photography , book cover designs, literary sound collages and internet art projects .

Civil society engagement

She has been living at the Jamel Forest Farm in the municipality of Gägelow in Northwest Mecklenburg since 2004 . Since 2007, she and her husband Horst Lohmeyer have been organizing the annual open-air rock festival Jamel rocks the Forester for Democracy and Tolerance, for which they received the Paul Spiegel Civil Courage Prize of the Central Council of Jews in Germany in 2011 . In 2012 they were awarded the German Newspaper Citizens' Prize. The readers, listeners and viewers of the NDR and four major north German daily newspapers both voted for “Heroes of the North 2011”. The background to these awards is that the couple resisted the fact that the village of Jamel is a stronghold of the neo-Nazi scene in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania .

On the night of August 13, 2015, the Lohmeyer family's forester's barn burned down completely. A holiday guest noticed an unknown person on the Forsthof shortly before the fire, said Birgit Lohmeyer after the fire. Interior Minister Lorenz Caffier (CDU) said on the same day that he was assuming a right-wing extremist background because of the commitment of the Lohmeyer couple. According to prosecutors, the fire was started intentionally. The perpetrator (s) could not be identified.

Political commitment

In September 2018 Birgit Lohmeyer joined the Social Democratic Party of Germany . She ran for the Northwest Mecklenburg District Council and the Gägelow municipal council in May 2019 , but did not win a mandate in either case. In Gägelow, however, the Jamel candidate for the NPD camouflage list Sven Krüger received a mandate.

Birgit and Horst Lohmeyer are the main actors in the artistic ( split-screen technology) documentary film "Dialoge", directed by Carmen Blazejewski . The premiere took place on October 7, 2016 in the Green Salon of the Volksbühne Berlin .
