Gerhard Heinzmann (politician)

Gerhard Heinzmann (born April 25, 1940 in St. Georgen ) is a German politician , author and pastor (retired). In 1989 he co-founded the Christian faithful party and was its national chairman until 2005.

Life

Heinzmann is widowed and has five children. After a conversion experience in 1962, Heinzmann became a member of a congregation in the Bund Freikirchlicher Pfingstgemeinden (BFP). Heinzmann completed his two-year pastor training at the Pentecostal Church Bible School Beröa (today: Theological Seminary Beröa ).

In 1989, at a pastors' conference of the BFP, he presented the idea of founding the Christian faithful party, with which Germany could be reached with the gospel. An outstanding political topic for him is the State of Israel , for which he demands “unconditional solidarity”, since “God's chosen people live there”. He opposes the establishment of an independent Palestinian state and advocates a one-state solution . He described the criticism of the Israeli military action against Gaza expressed in Germany in the spring of 2009 as blasphemy. Until 2005 Heinzmann was the chairman of the PBC. At the party congress in 2005, he handed over the leadership of the party to Walter Weiblen and was elected honorary chairman for life. In November 2011, he resigned from this office and left the PBC. Heinzmann is still the head of the " Gypsy Mission ", which is mainly active in Romania.
