biography

Eva Lohse, b. Müller-Tamm, grew up in the northern Ludwigshafen districts of Oppau and Friesenheim . She is the sister of the art scholar Pia Müller-Tamm and the literary scholar Jutta Müller-Tamm .

After graduating from high school in 1975, she studied law in Heidelberg , Geneva and Freiburg from 1976 to 1982 and received her doctorate in 1995. From 1983 to 1985 she did her legal clerkship in the OLG district of Zweibrücken . After she had her two daughters, she passed her second state examination in law in 1987 and then joined the Rhineland-Palatinate state service as an administrative lawyer at the Bad Dürkheim district administration . Other activities were in the Ministry of the Interior of the State of Rhineland-Palatinate and at the Rheinpfalz police headquarters in Ludwigshafen. From 1996 to 2001 Lohse was a lecturer at the Federal University of Applied Sciences for Public Administration , Department of Labor Administration, in Mannheim with the subjects of administrative, labor and social law.

From 1994 to 2001 she was a member of the Ludwigshafen city council. In May 2001 she was directly elected Lord Mayor of the City of Ludwigshafen with 55.51 percent in the first ballot. The Christian Democrat is the first non-social democratic mayor of Ludwigshafen since 1945. On June 7, 2009, she was re-elected in Ludwigshafen with 53.7 percent of the vote. In the lost state elections in 2011 women belonged Lohse in the areas of "demographic change, urban development, integration, health and welfare 'to the shadow cabinet by Julia Klöckner .

In 2015 Lohse became President of the German Association of Cities. As such, she campaigned above all for better financial resources for the municipalities. In 2016, for example, she called for an amendment to the Basic Law so that federal funds can flow directly into the educational infrastructure of the municipalities. She also criticized the inadequate financial allocations to cities and municipalities after the refugee crisis in Germany from 2015 . The federal financial injections would get stuck on the “sticky hands” of the federal states and would not be passed on to the cities, which have to bear the costs of integrating refugees. Under Lohse, Ludwigshafen's debt rose from around 500 million euros to around 1.2 billion euros.

In November 2016, Lohse announced that he would no longer run for the next mayor election; she was followed on January 1, 2018 by the social democrat Jutta Steinruck .
