from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinz "Micky" Beinert (born October 6, 1929 in Berlin-Kreuzberg ; † January 28, 2018 ) worked full-time and on a voluntary basis in youth work, especially with the Socialist Youth - Die Falken . He later worked for the Landesjugendring Berlin in the Berlin Senate Department for Youth in the field of youth cultural work.

Life

After the end of the Second World War, Micky Beinert spent some time in Genthin and in the Aachen district , where he helped set up the Federal Association of Socialist Youth - The Falcons . In 1954 he became the Falken's full-time district secretary for the Middle Rhine district and moved to Cologne. Here he belonged to the group of young workers in the environment of Georg Jungclas and took part in campaigns to support the Algerian struggle for independence . On November 26, 1958, together with Jungclas and Helmut Schauer, he succeeded in a highly publicized coup with which the three could draw attention to the colonial war of France in Algeria and the Algerian struggle for independence. On this day, a meeting between Konrad Adenauer and Charles de Gaulle took place in Bad Kreuznach as part of a state visit . The three of them used this opportunity to penetrate the convoy of international press representatives with a VW Beetle decorated with the FLN flag , to whom Beinert received pro-Algerian leaflets on paper with the falcon's letterhead shortly before he and his companions were arrested could hand over. They were released from their brief detention following the intervention of Hans-Jürgen Wischnewski .

In April 1965, Beinert returned to Berlin and became secretary and later chairman of the Berlin State Association of Falcons . From 1972 to 1979, Beinert was press and education officer at the Landesjugendring Berlin and editor of the youth newspaper “Blickpunkt”. He founded the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Bildungsurlaub der Berliner Jugendbildungsstätten, was a member of the advisory board of the Kurt Löwenstein Youth Education Center until his death and represented the interests of young people in the SFB - Broadcasting Council .

Parallel to his voluntary work, Beinert began his full-time work as an education and press officer at the Landesjugendring Berlin on April 1, 1972, and became editor of the local youth magazine “Blickpunkt”. From 1980 until his retirement in 1991, he worked in the youth culture department in the Senate Department for Youth . Thanks to his initiative, the “JugendKulturService GmbH” was founded, which organized, among other things, the Super Holiday Pass, the Family Pass, the youth concert series and much more.
