from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Helge Häger (born April 15, 1938 in Zabenstedt ; † September 23, 2003 ) was General Director of the VEB Brown Coal Combine Bitterfeld from 1980 to 1990.

Life

Häger was born in 1938 as the daughter of a miner. After the eight-year school she graduated from in 1952 in the teaching Kombinat Muecheln an apprenticeship as a fitter. In this profession she worked there until 1955. Then she was delegated to study at the mining engineering school in Senftenberg, which she graduated in 1958 as an engineer for coal refinement. After that, she was initially employed as an assistant in various briquette factories before she headed the technical control body (TKO), i.e. the operational quality assurance system, in the VEB lignite plant "Gustav Sobottka" Röblingen from 1959  . In this function she reported directly to the plant director. In 1962 she was able to persuade the SED to join the party. A year later, Häger switched to VVB Braunkohle Halle, the association of the state-owned companies involved in lignite mining and processing in the entire Halle district, where she was now responsible for quality assurance. In 1968, Häger moved to the VEB Braunkohlenkombinat Geiseltal , where she was director of sales and accounting until 1971. In 1975 she was finally entrusted with the management of the Geiseltaler combine as general director. Until 1980 she headed this combine, which had 8,000 employees. She then moved to the management position of General Director of the VEB Brown Coal Combine Bitterfeld , which employed 49,000 people in all of its own operations. Häger thus managed one of the largest energy suppliers, but also one of the largest polluters in the GDR. Because of the importance of the combine for the entire Halle district, Häger was a member of the SED district leadership in Halle from 1981 to 1989. In addition, she presented the SED for the first time as a candidate for the People's Chamber elections in 1981. After the election she was a member of the People's Chamber for two terms until 1990.
