Life

Ina Leukefeld attended elementary and secondary school in Ossa near Leipzig from 1961 and then EOS Windischleuba . From 1971 to 1973 she did her professional training as a financial clerk / tax at the city council of Suhl. She then worked as a consultant for youth issues until 1982 and from 1983 to 1986 as head of the youth and sports department in Suhl . During this time, she qualified as a graduate in state science , now recognized as a graduate administrative specialist (FH), through distance learning, initially at the Technical School for Political Sciences Weimar and from 1980 to 1985 at the Academy for Political and Legal Sciences Potsdam-Babelsberg.

In 1985/86 she worked as an unofficial employee (IM) "Sonja" for the political criminal police K1. This was under the leadership of the Ministry for State Security . Leukefeld later asserted that she knew nothing about the proximity of the K1 department to the MfS and regretted her declaration of commitment. The activity was the subject of a parliamentary investigation. In May 2006 the "parliamentary unworthiness in the sense of § 1 Abs. 1 Thuringian parliamentary review law" was determined. In July 2009, however, the Thuringian Constitutional Court ruled that this decision was unlawful, because an activity for Department K1 was not listed in the version of the law that was valid at the time. From 1991 to 2004 Leukefeld worked as an employee of the state parliament member Gabriele Zimmer in her constituency in Suhl.

From 2002 to 2003 she completed a further education course at the University of Applied Sciences Erfurt as a social business economist.
