Life and work

Else Ackermann was born as the daughter of a Reichsbahn official and a nurse. After graduation in 1952 she took a degree in medicine at the Humboldt University of Berlin in which she in 1957 with the state examination and in 1958 with the graduation to the Dr. med. finished. From 1960 to 1965 she worked as a research assistant at the Institute for Pharmacology and Toxicology at the Charité in Berlin and from 1965 to 1975 as senior research assistant at the Medical Academy "Carl Gustav Carus" in Dresden . Here she completed her habilitation in 1969 and two years later received a teaching position as a full lecturer in clinical pharmacology. From 1975 to 1989 she worked as a senior research assistant at the Central Institute for Cancer Research (ZIK) of the Academy of Sciences of the GDR (AdW) in Berlin-Buch . At the same time she worked as an honorary lecturer at the Charité.

After Ackermann, as chairwoman, had written a system-critical letter from the CDU Neuenhagen to the CDU main board on the reform process within the party in June 1988, the Ministry for State Security (MfS) opened an operational case against her and initiated an investigation, as a result of which she in March 1989 she was deposed as deputy head of the ZIK and prevented from continuing her academic work.

After the political turning point in the GDR , Ackermann was again appointed as a full lecturer for clinical pharmacology at the Charité in January 1990 and was the acting director of the pharmacological-toxicological institute there in August 1991. In 1994 she was dismissed as director.

politics

Ackermann joined the Eastern CDU in 1985 and was chairwoman of the CDU local group in Neuenhagen from 1986 to 1999 . In 1990 she became a member of the CDU.

Ackermann had been a council member of the Neuenhagen community since May 1989 and later took part in the negotiations at the round table there. From March to October 1990 she was a member of the first freely elected GDR People's Chamber and was elected to the German Bundestag on September 28, 1990 , to which she had belonged since the Day of German Unity . At the end of the electoral term at the end of 1990, she initially resigned from parliament. From October 22, 1991, when she replaced the retired MP Lothar de Maizière , until 1994 she was again a member of the German Bundestag . She entered parliament via the Brandenburg state list.

Ackermann became chairman of the CDU parliamentary group in the Neuenhagen municipal council, but resigned the parliamentary group chairmanship in summer 2007 after it was signaled that the majority of the parliamentary group wanted a change at the top of the group. In September 2007, Ms. Ackermann left the CDU parliamentary group in the municipal council with a public statement. In addition to her, the non-party Susanne Ahrens also announced her departure from the parliamentary group. They then formed the “Christian Social Women” faction. As a reason, Ms. Ackermann gave, among other things, the misogynistic behavior of the then chairman of the community association, Alfred Kuck, and other men in the CDU parliamentary group. Thereupon a party exclusion procedure was initiated against Ackermann by the district executive committee of the CDU Brandenburg. In the local elections in 2008 she ran unsuccessfully for the New Citizens Alliance Neuenhagen (NBA), from which she left in February 2009.

The application for expulsion from the party was rejected. However, Ackermann was reprimanded for behavior that was harmful to the party and thus remained a member of the CDU.

In 2014 she honored the CDU Brandenburg by awarding the "Wilhelm Wolf - Honorary Award".
