Elke Müller (born April 21, 1940 in Osnabrück , † August 14, 2014 in Thuine ) was a German politician (SPD) .

Life

Müller attended elementary and secondary school in Osnabrück and completed an apprenticeship as a portrait photographer . In 1969 she joined the SPD, was a councilor in Geldern , North Rhine-Westphalia from 1975 to 1983 and, after moving to Lower Saxony, from 1986 to 1996 a member of the council of the city of Lingen (Ems) , where she established the Emsland comprehensive school in Lingen .

In 1990 Elke Müller was elected to the Lower Saxony state parliament. In the 1994 state elections , she initially missed re-entry; in April 1995, however, she replaced the deceased MP Dieter Wallraff in the state parliament. The same thing happened to her in the 1998 state election ; in October 1998 she succeeded Jens-Holger Göttner , who had become State Secretary in Saxony-Anhalt. In the state elections in 2003 , she was then re-elected to the state parliament without interruption. In the 2008 state elections , she did not run again for reasons of age.

In all four electoral terms, Elke Müller was a member of the Committee on Legal and Constitutional Issues and the subcommittee on "Prison and Criminal Assistance"; from 2003 she was chair of the subcommittee. As a politician, she was particularly committed to the interests of the city of Lingen (Ems). In this way it prevented the Emsland / Grafschaft Bentheim police station from moving to Meppen and secured Lingen (Ems) permanently as the seat of the authority. Together with the Lower Saxony Minister for Science and Culture Helga Schuchardt and the then President of the Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences, Erhard Mielenhausen , it is thanks to Elke Müller that the external location of the Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences (formerly: Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences) was established in Lingen (Ems) 2000 students are trained. As part of the 2020 University Pact , it should be expanded further from 2012 onwards.

Elke Müller was married and had four children.
