biography

Friederike Hausmann grew up in Mainz , Nuremberg and Munich , where she lives again today. She studied history and teaching Latin at the Free University of Berlin . She became known worldwide through a photo in which she bent over the dying Benno Ohnesorg . Immediately beforehand, as a participant in the demonstration against the Shah of Persia in West Berlin on June 2, 1967, the Chief Police Officer and Stasi agent Karl-Heinz Kurras shot him in the head. After the first state examination , she did her doctorate in 1974 under Richard Dietrich (Berlin) and Eberhard Weis (Munich) on the agricultural policy of the Montgela government in Bavaria as a problem of social structural change at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries (Bern / Frankfurt am Main, 1975 ).

When she was not accepted into the school service after the second state examination because of her political commitment during her studies ( radical decree ), she moved to Italy . At the European University Institute in Florence , she worked her way into Italian history of the 19th and 20th centuries and began to translate from Italian. Since her return from Italy, she has written and translated on the political and cultural history of Italy from the Renaissance to the present day.
