biography

After graduating from secondary school, Karin Röpke studied from 1971 to 1976 and graduated with a degree in administrative management (FH).

In 1986 she joined the SPD. After working for various senators from 1985 onwards, she became managing director of the SPD parliamentary group in 1996 . She held this office until she was appointed Senator in March 2002.

In 2002, Röpke was appointed to the Scherf II Senate as the successor to the fatally injured Senator Hilde Adolf as Senator for Labor, Women, Health, Youth and Social Affairs. Mayor Henning Scherf also appointed her to the Senate Scherf III after the mayor's elections on May 25, 2003 .

On October 11, 2006, Röpke assumed political responsibility for the death of a child cared for by the social welfare authorities and resigned from her position. In the Kevin case , a child was allegedly killed by the drug addict foster father and hidden in the refrigerator. The social welfare authorities had previously canceled unemployment benefit II from the foster father .

On July 19, 2007, she was appointed director of the Bremen citizenship , despite strong opposition in the opposition - but also in her own parliamentary group . Citizenship President Christian Weber (SPD) was only able to fill this post directly in the previous legislative period through an amendment to the Civil Service Act. After massive public protests, she waived this appeal four days later.

On July 3, 2007 she became managing director of RW Energie Management GmbH. She held this position until the company's liquidation in 2016.
