Detlef Hartmann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Detlef Hartmann (* 1941 ) is a German lawyer , author and left-wing activist .

Live and act

After attending school, Hartmann studied at the Hamburg Christianeum in Bordeaux , Freiburg, Hamburg and Berkeley . In California he took part in the political activities in the Bay Area , which he understood as “socially oriented”, even if they were directed primarily against the Vietnam War . Returned to the FRG in 1970, he continued the political activity in the context of social disputes, which continues to this day. In 1973 he took part in the squatting in Hamburg's Ekhofstrasse (1973), which was not only about gaining living space, but also opposing a building project that drove the Neue Heimat .

Hartmann has been working as a lawyer in Hamburg and Cologne since 1977, primarily as a criminal defense attorney, also in numerous proceedings against left-wing activists and also in the representation of the accessory prosecution in Nazi war crimes trials, such as those against Kurt Lischka , Ernst Heinrichsohn and Herbert Hagen before the Cologne Regional Court in 1979, against Heinrich Boere before the Aachen Regional Court in 2007 and against Siert Bruins before the Hagen Regional Court in 2013.

Hartmann worked with members of the Proletarian Front (PF), a group from the operaist “we-want-everything” association.

He moved to Cologne as a result of the criminal trial against Roland Otto and Karl Heinz Roth , which Hartmann was defending. There he occupied a number of houses with the members of the social-revolutionary-oriented “ Socialist Self-Help Cologne ” (SSK) in the Ehrenfeld Marienstraße as the beginning of a social-revolutionary project. This not only resulted in further occupations, but also in activities in many other areas: Against the foreigner policy, nuclear policy, militarization, Nazi remembrance and "coping policy" (participation in the campaign for the Edelweiss pirates ), but above all against the policy of urban redevelopment and Expulsion (occupation of Marienstrasse, then group living space for everyone ) and against the Rheinische Psychiatrie, which was still strongly Nazi-influenced. These activities were accompanied by Hartmann's collaboration in the magazine Autonomie and, with a social revolutionary orientation, in the follow-up project, the “Materials for a New Anti-imperialism” ( materials ). At this time, further activities by Hartmann against the foreigners and expulsion policy (group borders on ), against Hartz IV (group payday ), against the new militarism (group Bundeswehr resign ), campaign against SFB 700 , which continues to this day pass.

In daily media and journalistic, Hartmann positions himself in the young world and in WDR 5 .
