from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans-Joachim Griephan (born September 26, 1937 in Malchin ) is a German journalist , publisher and founder of the business information service Griephan Briefe , which has been published since 1964 .

Life and work

After childhood in Mecklenburg, Griephan left the GDR in the early 1950s and first went to West Berlin and later to the federal capital Bonn. He began his journalistic career in 1958 at the Berliner Morgenpost and in 1961 switched to the US news agency United Press International as a correspondent , initially in the Berlin office, then in the Bonn office.

In 1964, Griephan was a member of the editorial team of " Zeitung - Ein deutsches Magazin" at the Waldemar Schweitzer publishing house in Stuttgart (together with Sigfrid Dinser and Helmut Markwort ) for a few months .

From 1964 to 1993, Griephan was the military service magazine . The information letter for the defense industry out.

In 1979, Griephan was for a time a columnist for Wirtschaftswoche ("Hans-Joachim Griephan on government agencies"). For Die Welt am Sonntag , Hamburg, Griephan wrote a weekly column from 1979 to 1981 "Bonn shops". From 1980 to 1985 the entrepreneur magazine Impulse , Cologne, published Griephan's column “Business with the State”.

In Bonn, Griephan was the managing partner of the 3-W-Büro Agentur für Wehr-Wirtschafts-Werbung GmbH and Bonnservice Werbe & Beratungsdienste GmbH from 1969 to 1993.

In 1979 the member of the Bundestag Heinz Pensky ( SPD ) filed a criminal complaint for insulting Griephan. When the War Weapons Control Act was amended in 1978, Pensky had enforced a strict restriction on all arms trafficking by German citizens and from West German soil. The insult ("Demelack") was linked to the allegation that Pensky was causing the German arms industry difficulties in the international arms trade. In a settlement, Griephan took over the procedural costs. He withdrew his insult and Pensky withdrew the complaint.

other activities

Until 1988 was Griephan Vice President in 1960 Lübeck founded Fritz Reuter Society e. V. (FRG), then President. In 1991 it moved its headquarters from Lübeck to Neubrandenburg . On the initiative of Griephan, the Förderverein Reuter-Museen e. V. to support the four Reuter museums in Stavenhagen , Eisenach , Neubrandenburg and Dömitz . Griephan is the founder and owner of the Fritz Reuter Literature Archive in Berlin (formerly the Private Fritz Reuter Literature Archive [FRLA], Bonn). He is considered to be an important collector of autographs from the literature of the 19th century. Since 2018, Griephan has been gradually transferring his collection as a gift to the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin - Prussischer Kulturbesitz, which makes these holdings accessible in the estate 597 (Hans-Joachim Griephan Collection).

In the second half of the 1980s, triggered by his leadership activities in the Fritz Reuter Society, Griephan was exposed to research by the Ministry for State Security of the GDR. The reason was the joint efforts of the head of the Federal Agency for All-German Tasks (BfgA) Detlef Kühn and Griephans to influence how the Fritz Reuter legacy was dealt with in the GDR, according to the GDR offices "in the all-German sense". They refused such a thing and tried to prevent it. The informants about Griephan included in particular IM Jürgen Borchert , GDR dissident recipient of the Fritz Reuter Art Prize of the Schwerin district (1980), Klaus Meyer , Arnold Hückstädt , Marion Schmidt , ( Mecklenburg Folklore Center ). After Borchert had committed suicide in the course of the affair, Griephan was accused in the regional newspapers in Neubrandenburg, Rostock and Schwerin, on the part of the Evangelical Academy of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania as well as by the PDS at the time, that Borchert was "done with the Stasi club" ( Wolf Spillner ).

For the election periods 1994 to 1999 and 1999 to 2004 Griephan was elected to the city council of Neubrandenburg for the CDU.
