Life

Johanna Scheringer-Wright is the daughter of Richard Scheringer (1930-2006), a son of the KPD and DKP politician Richard Scheringer . Her uncle Konrad Scheringer (1938–2016) was also a PDS member in the Thuringian state parliament . Other uncles are the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania state politicians Johann Scheringer and Dietrich Scheringer , who ran for the 1969 Bundestag election for the Democratic Progress Campaign.

Scheringer has been active in socialist associations since her youth; she joined the SDAJ in 1977 and the DKP in 1979 . In 1982 she acquired the technical college entrance qualification in Landshut and then studied agricultural sciences at the University of Kassel , which she graduated in 1987 with a degree in agricultural engineering. This was followed in 1993/94 by a postgraduate course in "Management of Natural Resources" at the University of Edinburgh with a Master of Science degree and, from 1998 to 2002, a doctoral degree at the Georg-August University of Göttingen , which she completed with a doctorate in agricultural sciences. From 1998 she was involved as a research assistant in numerous agricultural science projects at the University of Göttingen .

In the 2004 state elections , Scheringer-Wright entered the Thuringian state parliament via the state list of the then PDS , which she joined in 2004. She was the agricultural policy spokeswoman for her group. For the 2005 election , she was direct candidate of their party in the Eichsfeld - Nordhausen - Unstrut-Hainich- Kreis I . In the state elections in 2009 she ran in the Eichsfeld I constituency against Prime Minister Dieter Althaus ; in the traditional stronghold of the CDU she received 12.2% of the constituency votes. On the state list of her party, she ran at number 25, which was not enough for direct re-entry into the state parliament. Since July 1, 2012, Scheringer-Wright has been a member of the Thuringian state parliament again. She took over one of the mandates that had become available through the election success of left-wing politicians in the local elections in Thuringia in 2012. In the state elections in 2014 , she was elected to the state parliament via the state list. In 2019, she was unable to win a direct mandate in the state elections and had not stood as a candidate on the state list.
