Life

After studying sociology and history, Petry was a teacher at the comprehensive school in Weinheim from 1974.

As managing director of the Freudenberg Foundation, Petry decided on the financial support of the Amadeu Antonio Foundation. Petry was a member of the Board of Trustees of the Amadeu Antonio Foundation.

In 2002, it was announced that Anetta Kahane one IN the Stasi had been Christian Petry defended this. At that time, Petry was Kahane's superior as managing director of the Freudenberg Foundation . Petry had known Kahane's work for the Stasi since 1990. According to a TAZ interview, Petry read Kahane's complete Stasi files as early as 1990: According to Petry, Kahane was arrested in 1974 when she tried to help a friend escape the republic. The next day she was recruited by the Stasi. Petry said in 2002 that Kahane's collaboration with the Stasi was "more of a heroic story". In addition, Kahane signed her declaration of commitment to cooperate with the Stasi in custody.

In 2011, the then Family Minister Kristina Schröder (CDU) asked foundations that received public funds to sign a declaration of commitment. With this declaration, foundations should undertake not to cooperate with anti-constitutional organizations and persons. Christian Petry then initiated a protest letter together with the Alliance for Democracy and Tolerance , in which the required declaration of consent was described as a "snooping paragraph".
