biography

education and profession

Adolf is the daughter of the administrative employee Heinz Hermann and the clerk Elfriede Hermann. It applies due to the former residence of her mother in the city of Bremen overseas port area Bremerhaven, a city of Bremen enclave in Bremerhaven, as in Bremen born. From 1960 to 1964 she attended the Goetheschule (elementary school) and then the Gymnasium Körnerschule in Bremerhaven, from which she graduated in 1972 with the Abitur. In a voluntary social year in the Folk-Treff leisure center in Leherheide , she wanted to gain experience about “what life is like outside of school”.

Adolf studied law at the University of Bremen since 1973 and at the Georg-August University in Göttingen since 1975 . In 1978 she married the future electrical engineer Wolfgang Lunter. Since 1982 she completed her legal clerkship in the higher regional court district of Bremen and in 1987 she completed her training with the second state examination. In 1987/88 she gained legal experience as a lawyer in the Koopmann law firm, where she represented many women who were under pressure. From 1988 to 1995 she was the head of the Bremerhaven branch of the Bremen Central Office for the Realization of Equal Rights for Women (FZS). She was the deputy of Ursula Kerstein (SPD) as Bremen's state women's representative. In 1994, on the basis of her invitation, the 10th Federal Conference of Municipal Women's and Equal Opportunities Offices took place in Bremerhaven. She was also elected to the women's committee of the German Association of Cities .

Garbage fisherwoman

Privately, she was involved in the cabaret group Bremerhavener Müllfischer from 1981 to 1998 and worked here with Helene Daiminger, the teacher and politician Manfred Richter (FDP) and the Bremerhaven cultural director Wolfgang Weiß (SPD).

politics

Adolf had been a member of the SPD in Leherheide since 1973. Around 1986 she founded a small working group of social democratic lawyers (AsJ) in Bremerhaven with Jörg Schulz (SPD), the starting point for her future political career. In 1991 she joined the board of the SPD sub-district of Bremerhaven. The younger generation of Bremerhaven Social Democrats prevailed against the powerful former mayor of Bremerhaven (1978–1983) and Senator (1983–1987) Werner Lenz (SPD). In 1995 she was elected as a member of the Bremen parliament , but Lenz left the SPD. After the SPD was defeated in the elections in Bremerhaven, she took over the office of chairman of the SPD sub-district of Bremerhaven in 1996, following Uwe Beckmeyer (SPD) in this political position.

On July 7, 1999, she was sworn in as the successor to Christine Wischer (SPD) as a member of the Scherf II Senate as Senator for Labor, Women, Health, Youth and Social Affairs. Until 2000, their councilors were Hans-Christoph Hoppensack (SPD) and then Arnold Knigge . In the political area, there was an increasing difference to her former allies Jörg Schulz when it came to Bremerhaven's interests. The twelve social centers were introduced in the city districts when they were senators. A difficult balancing act meant for them to fulfill the socio-political tasks and still have to realize personnel savings in Bremen.

On January 16, 2002, she was killed in a car accident on Autobahn 27 just north of Bremen. On an evening drive home from Bremen to Bremerhaven, she had lost control of her company car while trying to overtake a truck for unknown reasons at a speed of around 160 km / h. It was followed by Karin Röpke (SPD) in the office of Senator.

Because of her social commitment, Adolf was extremely popular, recognized across party and state borders and enjoyed a high level of respect, as the then Federal Minister for Family, Seniors, Women and Youth Christine Bergmann (SPD) noted. Bremen's mayor and president of the Senate Henning Scherf (SPD) described Adolf's commitment to the citizens as tireless.

Adolf was married and had a son.
