Live and act

Christina Kukielka was born to a German and an Englishwoman in the South African city of Durban. She has a sister. From 1946 she lived in England and Hamburg for three years before returning to South Africa in 1952. There she attended a German high school and Catholic boarding school in Durban and Johannesburg . She has lived permanently in Hamburg since 1954. She obtained her Abitur in 1965 at the Alte Klosterschule. She then studied psychology and linguistics until 1969 . In 1968 she married, which resulted in a daughter and who divorced two years later. After working for an employers' association, she trained as a teacher for elementary and secondary schools from 1971 to 1973, which was followed by a three-year traineeship. From 1976 she worked in publishing. From 1980 up to and including her later time as a member of parliament, she taught as a lecturer for the Grone School Foundation .

From 1973 to 1985, Kukielka was a member of the Education and Science Union (then ÖTV ), and was involved as a works councilor and shop steward. In 1978 she joined the Bunter List and moved into the district assembly of Hamburg-Eimsbüttel for five years with another member, Ilona Kiene . There they distinguished themselves through frequent inquiries to authorities and controversial discussions. Although the Bunte List only had two votes in the district assembly, due to the rest of the distribution of seats (20 SPD MPs and 18 opposition MPs from the CDU and FDP) it was able to bring about a tie or a majority and therefore exert influence.

In 1980 Kukielka became a member of the GAL, where she belonged to the left-wing spectrum (" Fundi "). For the first time, the GAL drew up an all-women list in the Hamburg state elections in 1986 , to which Kukielka was a top candidate . In November she moved into the 12th Hamburg citizenship . Her political work focused on the areas of migrants and refugees, anti-fascism and district assembly regulations. Among other things, she campaigned for compensation for Nazi victims, against the deportation of refugees and against the evacuation of Hafenstrasse . She was re-elected in the Hamburg state election in 1987 . In February 1989 she resigned from the citizenship due to the rotation that was customary in her party . In the same year she resigned from the GAL.
