Life

After graduating from high school and doing internships in various children's homes, Irene Knickrehm trained as a welfare worker at the Institute for Social Education in Hamburg. After studying in Great Britain and Sweden, she worked for the Hamburg youth authority from 1949. In the 1950s she first lived on the Dulsberg and then moved to Barmbek-Süd . She later moved to Neugraben-Fischbek . In the 1970s she was the state chairman of the professional association of Catholic social workers. She was married and had a stepson, the landlord of the famous former music bar Schwenders on Großneumarkt .

politics

In 1953 Knickrehm joined the CDU. She was initially deputy state chairman of the Junge Union . In the 1960s she was a member of the state executive board of the CDU Hamburg . In the 1970s and 1980s she was deputy state chairman of the CDA . In the 1990s she was chairwoman of the Hamburg CDA delegates' assembly.

In 1957 she was elected to the district committee (from 1961: district assembly ) Hamburg-Nord , to which she belonged until she moved to the Harburg district in 1967. There she was also a member of the local committee Barmbek-Uhlenhorst until 1965. In addition, she was a member of the board of the CDU district parliamentary group. On August 3, 1965, she succeeded the former mayor of Hamburg, Kurt Sieveking, as a member of the Hamburg parliament. Their activity ended in March 1966 with the end of the legislative period. In 1970 she was re-elected to parliament. This time she was able to work there for eight years, focusing on youth policy and social policy. There she called for an increase in the standard rates for recipients of social assistance and higher grants to the associations of free welfare. In addition, she spoke out against transferring the welfare offices to the district offices, because that would lead to an increase in the “confusion and overlapping of competencies”. Instead, the responsibilities for the welfare area should be concentrated in one office for social services. For the citizenship election in 1978 it was not re-established by the CDU.

After leaving the citizenry, she continued to volunteer and took care of senior work, among other things.
