Life

In 1948 Tschiche graduated from high school in Wittenberg . In the same year he began studying Protestant theology in West Berlin , which he interrupted from 1949 to 1950 for a course for new teachers . Excluded for political reasons, he then resumed his studies, studying in both East and West Berlin. From 1956 to 1958 he was vicar in Hilmsen . He was ordained in 1958. In December 1958, he moved to Meßdorf ( GDR ) with his wife and children . He worked there as an assistant preacher until 1960 and took over the position of pastor in 1960 , which he held until 1975. In 1968 he turned against the crackdown on the Prague Spring through the intervention of the Warsaw Pact in Czechoslovakia . After Tschiche initially worked as a director of studies at the Evangelical Academy of Saxony-Anhalt from 1975 , he took over the management of the academy in Magdeburg in 1978 .

In the eighties Tschiche was involved in the peace movement of the GDR and was a founding member of the citizens' movement Neues Forum . He represented the New Forum at the round table of the district of Magdeburg . In 1990 Tschiche was elected to the first freely elected People's Chamber for the New Forum and was a member of the Petitions and Finance Committee . After German reunification he was a member of the Bundestag until the end of 1990 . From 1990 to 1998 Tschiche was parliamentary group leader of the Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen party in the newly created state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt . Here, too, he was a member of the finance committee. He also chaired the Petitions Committee. From 1994 to 1998 he was the age president of the state parliament and a member of the council of elders . He is considered to be a father of the Magdeburg Model , which existed from 1994 to 1998 , a red / green minority government tolerated by the PDS .

Tschiche was honorary chairman of the Saxony-Anhalt regional association of Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen. Since May 1999 he has been the chairman of the Association for Together - Network for Democracy and Cosmopolitanism in Saxony-Anhalt. V. In addition, since 2009 he was also actively involved as a contemporary witness of the reunification on the contemporary witness portal 20 Years of Peaceful Revolution and German Unity .

In February 2012 Tschiche expressed himself in the weekly newspaper Der Freitag rejecting the upcoming election of Joachim Gauck to the office of Federal President . At an award ceremony, Gauck had himself compared with the Scholl siblings "and didn't even blush". He never belonged to the GDR opposition, whose actors are now called civil rights activists. According to Tschiche, he did not leave the protective walls of the church until the end of 1989 and traveled "without scruples" on the civil rights activist ticket through the political landscape. Tschiches public assessment that Gauck is not a civil rights activist is contradicted by other sources.

Hans-Jochen Tschiche, who lived for a long time in Samswegen north of Magdeburg and most recently lived in Satuelle near Haldensleben , died after a long illness in June 2015 at the age of 85 in Magdeburg.
