Life

Stresemann is the daughter of the German conductor Wolfgang Stresemann (1904–1998) and the American pianist Mary Jean Stresemann, née Athay (1924–2007). Her paternal grandfather was the politician Gustav Stresemann .

She spent her childhood in Berlin-Dahlem and attended the John F. Kennedy School . She completed her law degree at the Free University of Berlin , where she worked as a research assistant after completing her legal training. In May 1987 she was accepted into the higher judicial service of the state of Berlin. Here she was initially employed as a trial reporter at the Berlin Regional Court and the Charlottenburg District Court . From August 1988 to March 1992 this was followed by a delegation to the Berlin Senate Department for Justice and Federal Affairs. There Stresemann was also entrusted with the duties of personal assistant to the Justice Senator - an office that Jutta Limbach held from 1989 .

During this time she was appointed judge at the Berlin Regional Court in May 1990. In addition, she did her doctorate in 1991 at her alma mater with a dissertation on the unjust enrichment law reversal of services wrongly provided by the liability insurer as a doctor of rights. After returning to the Berlin Regional Court in 1992, she was promoted to judge at the Court of Appeal in 1995 and was also seconded to the Federal Constitutional Court as a research assistant for three years . There she worked again for Jutta Limbach, who had meanwhile risen to the position of President of the Constitutional Court.

After the end of her secondment, she held her office as judge at the Court of Appeal from October 1998. In 2000 she married the lawyer Ingo Müller . In 2003 Stresemann was appointed judge at the Federal Court of Justice and assigned to the fifth civil senate. Presumably it was proposed by the SPD , but is itself non-party. She has been a member of the Presidium since 2007 and the Presidential Council of the Federal Court of Justice since 2010. In addition, she has been the Federal Court of Justice's representative for international contacts since 2009. On September 3, 2012, she was given the chairmanship of the 5th Civil Senate and the Senate for Agricultural Matters. She has been Deputy Chairwoman of the Federal Service Court since 2017 .

From 2004 to 2012 Stresemann was also a judge at the Constitutional Court of the State of Berlin . She had also been nominated for this office by the SPD.
