The art scholar Gabriele Sprigath (born 1940 in Eisleben ) is u. a. Lecturer at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich . She grew up in West Berlin and received her doctorate in 1969 from the University of Munich with a dissertation on topics from the history of the Roman Republic in 18th century French painting. A contribution to the iconography of the 18th century .

Professional ban due to the so-called "radical decree"

In July 1979 the proposal of the Braunschweig University of Fine Arts to entrust Sprigath "with the administration of the professorship for art studies / salary group C 4 in the 1979 summer semester" was rejected by the Lower Saxony Minister for Science and Art because "doubts that you are the In the future, you have to comply with the labor law obligation to commit yourself to the free democratic basic order within the meaning of the Basic Law through your entire behavior (cf. BAG , NJW 1976, 1708 ff.).

Among the ten points on which the same doubts were based, according to the minister, was among other things that Sprigath was named in a "letter from the DKP district committee Munich [...] as the event manager of an information stand of the DKP on April 27, 1974 in Munich" and that she had signed an "Appeal of the Board of Directors of the German Peace Union (DFU) influenced by the DKP to the then Federal Chancellor Brandt ", published in the Frankfurter Rundschau on March 18, 1970 . In addition, a "declaration of July 13, 1970" stated that Sprigath was or was "a member of the Central Committee of the Campaign for Democracy and Disarmament , which is influenced by the DKP and its subsidiary organizations". At the oral hearing that took place in connection with this, Sprigath

  • on the question of whether she was a DKP member, said: “According to my constitutional understanding, I do not consider this question to be admissible. I would therefore like to refuse to comment on the question of membership in a party that is not forbidden and, in my opinion, not unconstitutional. "

and

  • Regarding the accusation of membership in the Central Committee of the Campaign for Democracy and Disarmament: "I do not remember whether I was actually a member of the Central Committee of the Campaign for Democracy and Disarmament" (in the declaration itself, which included a " Dr. Gabriele Sprig r ath “is listed as a signatory, it means that this comes from members of the Board of Trustees and the Central Committee - two different bodies! - of the same campaign).

She had aggressively confirmed the other facts of which she was accused and - at least later - publicly (that is, outside of the ritual of the hearing procedure), also acknowledging DKP membership.

Sprigath had brought an action against the professional ban at the labor court in Hanover and prevailed in the first instance. In response to the appeal by the State of Lower Saxony, the appellate court overturned the labor court's judgment and dismissed the action.

Political reappraisal in the 2010s

In 2016, the Lower Saxony state parliament called on the state government there to “appoint a representative to deal with the fate of those affected by Lower Saxony's professional bans and the possibilities of their political and social rehabilitation. The commissioner should deal with the fate of those affected by occupational bans with the participation of those affected, representatives of trade unions and initiatives. Scientific support must also be provided and included in the work. "

The commissioner position was actually created and filled with the former SPD member of the state parliament Jutta Rübke . In 2018, as the "Lower Saxony State Commissioner for the Processing of Fates in Connection with the so-called Radical Decree ", she published the documentation professional bans in Lower Saxony 1972-1990 . The case of Sprigath is also documented among the examples.

Sprigath herself demanded compensation for her denied access to the public service at an event in 2019.

From 1990 to 1999 she was a lecturer at Faculty 13 at the University of Applied Sciences in Munich and, since 2005, has also been a lecturer at the Seminar for Intellectual History and Renaissance Philosophy at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich.
