Publications

Müller-Enbergs 1996 was co-author of authorities report about Gregor Gysi of the Immunity Committee of the German Bundestag . His publication together with Cornelia Jabs in the Germany Archive exposed the West Berlin police officer Karl-Heinz Kurras as a SED member and Stasi IM "Otto Bohl". Although the head of the research department of the Stasi records authority had released the article for printing in writing, the authority management warned him. Müller-Enbergs successfully complained that this warning was removed from his personnel file.

In 2014 he wrote an expert opinion about Anetta Kahane in her work as Stasi-IM "Victoria".

Memberships

Since 2010, Müller-Enberg has been an elected member of the commission to review the members of the Brandenburg State Parliament for cooperation with the MfS and the Enquete Commission to come to terms with the history and cope with the consequences of the SED dictatorship and the transition to a democratic constitutional state in the state of Brandenburg . He is on the Advisory Board of the Association June 17, 1953 .

Deuling case

In autumn 2012 the authorities denied him legal counsel in the trial against Wolfgang Deuling and his wife, two alleged GDR spies ("IM Bob" and "IM Petra"). The action against him caused public protest and solidarity, for example by scientists and journalists. At the beginning of 2013, the Deuling couple filed a lawsuit against the naming of their real names in the official publication “ Hauptverwaltung A; Task structures sources "retracted against Mueller Enbergs as an author after the themselves court as incompetent declared and another legal action would have to be found. This allowed Müller-Enbergs to name the Deuling couple by name, as the HV A department brought them in connection, but curiously enough, the federal commissioner for the Stasi files was not. Wolfgang Deuling was the office manager and later personal advisor to Hans-Jürgen Wischnewski .

Private

Müller-Enbergs is married to Conny Müller-Enbergs. The couple has two sons.
