biography

After studying law in Marburg and Münster (1959–1965), she took her first state examination in 1966 and her second state examination in 1970. From 1970 to 1972, Boehme was a court assessor, then until 1988 a judge at the local court and then until her retirement in 2005 a judge at the Hanseatic Higher Regional Court in Bremen.

Growing up far from the Church, she was only baptized in 1982.

In 2001 Boehme was proposed and elected by her home parish St. Ansgarii for the office of President of the Church Committee and Church Congress of the BEK. In 2006 she was re-elected. As President of the Church Committee, Boehme chaired the meetings of the Church Congress of the Bremen Evangelical Church. Due to the special structure of the Bremen Church, which is a voluntary association of parishes based in Bremen, its office is difficult to compare with offices with the same title in the rest of Germany's church landscape.

As a theological laywoman, Boehme took part in training as a preacher within the Bremen Church from 2004 to 2006 . From the end of 2009 to the end of 2014 Boehme was a member of the EKD Synod . In November 2013 she ran for the office of President of the Synod, but did not achieve the required majority and finally withdrew her candidacy.
