Life

Beddermann, who comes from Schwarmstedt in Lower Saxony , was a 36-year-old senior government councilor and founder of the “Lower Saxony Environmental Protection Party” (USP) in May 1977 , which emerged from a small “Schwarmstedt citizens' initiative”. In November 1977 in Lindwedel he united the USP with the “ Green List Environmental Protection ” (GLU), which had split off from the USP shortly before. With Beddermann as chairman, she ran under the now protected name in the Lower Saxony state elections , after green lists had also formed in many federal states after the electoral success of green parties in France in 1977. A few months after the election, Beddermann resigned from the party “because he had not distanced himself from colorful and alternative lists ”. In 1979 the GLU joined forces with other environmental parties and groups before the European elections, from which the West German party " The Greens " emerged.

In the 1980s he headed a department in the Lower Saxony Ministry of Environment .

In 1986 he was the state chairman of the "Whites", who ran as an independent list in the state elections on July 15, 1986 in Lower Saxony .

In 2002, the Lower Saxony Ministry of the Environment sent him to Poland as a consultant , where he advised officials on how to introduce EU standards in relation to environmental protection. He has written numerous articles in Polish newspapers on the European Union .
