Life

Cornelia Hermann is the daughter of Ada Weevers from the Netherlands and the Hungarian cellist Pál Hermann , who worked in Berlin in the early 1930s . Her mother had an accident in a swimming accident in 1933. Her father had to leave Germany after the handover of power to the National Socialists and worked mainly in Brussels and Paris . Corrie therefore grew up with her grandparents in Amersfoort . After the German invasion of the Netherlands in 1940 and the occupation of France by the Wehrmacht, Paul Hermann fled to Vichy France , where relatives of Corrie's mother hid him. He was tracked down there in 1944, deported to an extermination camp in Eastern Europe and murdered.

Corrie Hermann attended the Stedelijk Gymnasium in Amersfoort from 1944 and studied medicine at the University of Utrecht from 1950 . From 1959 she practiced as an infant and pediatrician and as a health teacher, and she had four children herself. From 1973 to 1978 she worked in medical research on the development of test procedures at the CITO (Centraal Instituut voor Toetsontwikkeling) in Arnhem , then as a medical sociologist at the Radboud University in Nijmegen and received her doctorate in 1984 with the dissertation Vrouwelijke artsen in Nederland . From 1982 she headed the municipal health service (Gemeentelijke Geneeskundige Dienst, GGD) in Heemskerk . She performed voluntary functions in the Dutch Medical Society, the Dutch Social Insurance and in the Society of Dutch Doctors.

When Hermann retired in 1992, she was awarded the Order of Orange-Nassau . In 1996 she set up the “Paul Hermann Foundation” to promote young cellists. From 1997 to 2012 she was a member of the GroenLinks party and between 1998 and 2002 she was a member of the GroenLinks Second Chamber for one term , during which time she ensured a tightening of the smoking ban in public facilities.
