Life

Dagmar Albrecht was a few days after the seizure of power by the National Socialists born in 1933 as a member of the noble family of Hagen. She grew up on her parents' estate in Western Pomerania , in what was then the village of Langen near Polzin .

Dagmar's uncle was the lawyer and resistance fighter Albrecht von Hagen , who was sentenced to death as a defendant after the - unsuccessful - assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler on July 20, 1944 in the middle of World War II . As a result, his widow, parents and siblings were held in kin. So Dagmar von Hagen's parents were imprisoned by autumn 1944, while they and other children of the inmates were taken to a children's home , where they were counted among the "despised and outlawed". Only on the run and in the course of the expulsion at the end of the war was Dagmar able to flee together with Erica von Hagen in a truck, but initially only as far as the vicinity of the family estate in Langen due to roadblocks. But when the fleeing soldiers showed newspaper articles and other documents relating to July 20, 1944 to a Red Army soldier, the soldier let the needy pass with great respect. In the winter of 1945/46 Dagmar moved for three months with her siblings, her mother and her grandmother and with them all the surviving residents of the village of Dubbertech to Freiburg on the Lower Elbe .

As a teenager, Dagmar von Hagen attended public and private schools. In 1952 she passed her Abitur in Hanover . She then spent a long time in France and South America , then studied sociology, psychology, history, literature and newspaper studies in the USA .

Back in Germany, von Hagen worked in Hamburg from 1956 , first as a trainee, then as an editor for the Hamburger Abendblatt , before she became a freelance journalist and was responsible for various publications. She married the businessman Hans-Peter Albrecht, with whom she had three children, including the actress Nicola Schlösser .

From 1966 Dagmar Albrecht referred to the Hanoverian district of Marienwerder , where she lived in the garden courtyard settlement at Westermannweg 22 , as her home for herself and her family. In the 1980s she and her husband initiated the concert series “Music for Walkers”, which was then regularly performed in the church of the Marienwerder Monastery in the Hinüberschen Garten .

Dagmar Albrecht was chairman of the Hanover local association of the child protection association and, as a member and deputy chairman of the Lower Saxony State Parents' Council, campaigned for the development opportunities of children and young people in the German performance society . After she had launched the state competition youth draws and designs , whose sponsoring association she later elected honorary chairman, she was honored in 1984 with the award of the Federal Cross of Merit on ribbon of the Federal Republic of Germany .

From 1990 to 1996 Albrecht was associated with the Hannover Medical School (MHH) through her long-term work in the 2000 Structural Commission. In 1993 the Senate of the MHH appointed the journalist, who particularly promoted the interaction between research, teaching and health care, as honorary senator of the university.

In 1992 the local researcher published the book Today in Marienwerder , written by various authors . A district book about different people, historical sights, the environment and nature .
