from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karl-August Kamilli (born January 5, 1945 in Hagenow ) is a German politician. He was one of the founders of the SDP in the GDR and sat for the SPD in the People's Chamber and the Bundestag as a deputy.

Professional background

Kamilli graduated from EOS in Hagenow in 1963. He then completed an apprenticeship as a skilled civil engineering worker until 1965. Then studied Kamilli in Leipzig until 1970 Geophysics . During his studies, the later graduate geophysicist obviously changed his opinion on military service and was recognized as a conscientious objector. Accordingly, he did his alternative military service as a construction soldier for the NVA until 1972. After that he was employed in the VEB Geophysics until 1990 .

After serving as a member of parliament in 1990, Kamilli was one of the first Saxon civil servants to become head of division for armed forces matters and conversion in the Saxon State Chancellery , at the same time the state representative for residence and withdrawal of the CIS armed forces. In September 1992 he moved to the Saxon State Audit Office as a department head . In 1994 Kamilli returned to the State Chancellery, where he was subsequently, among other things, an ombudsman and headed the office of the State Government Commissioner for the Issues of People with Disabilities. Most recently, he was head of the Public Affairs Office in the State Chancellery.

Political career

In 1972 Kamilli first made contact with church peace and environmental groups. At times he was also involved in the Friedenskreis at the youth pastor's office in Leipzig's Nikolaikirche and was therefore obviously subject to surveillance by the Ministry for State Security at times . In September 1989 Kamilli first joined the New Forum . In October he was one of the co-founders of the SDP in Leipzig and was elected chairman of the SDP city association of Leipzig on November 7th of the same year. In this function, Kamilli was also a member of the SDP district and district board of Leipzig until January 1990. Finally, he was elected to one of the three deputy SPD party leaders at the party congress of the party, which has meanwhile been renamed the SPD (East), which took place from February 23 to 25, 1990.

Logically, Kamilli also ran for the Volkskammer elections on March 18, 1990 . He led the SPD electoral list in constituency 09 ( Leipzig district ), which meant a safe entry into the People's Chamber. In the People's Chamber he was elected chairman of the committee for disarmament and defense. On the parliamentary side, he thus played an essential part in the dissolution of the NVA. In general, Kamilli represented controversial views within the SPD at the time. So was against the participation of the SPD in the government de Maizière . Nevertheless, he was elected to the SPD federal executive committee in September 1990, to which he belonged until 1993. In addition, Kamilli was one of the 144 MPs who entered the Bundestag on October 3, 1990. On December 2, 1990, he narrowly missed re-entering the Bundestag. The SPD won 8 mandates in Saxony, Kamilli was on the list position 9. Furthermore, he remained an uncomfortable comrade in the relatively weak Saxon SPD state association . This culminated in 1994 in the fact that he was not considered in the federal election as a direct SPD candidate. He then resigned from the SPD and ran as an independent individual candidate in constituency 310 (Leipzig II) against the SPD candidate Gunter Weißgerber , who also took third place on the state list. Kamilli received 0.9% of the first votes, Weißgerber 30.4.

In 2001, Kamilli made a name for himself again. He became a member of the Saxon state association of the rule of law offensive party , also known as the Schill party. After disputes over the party strategy, Kamilli was expelled from the party in 2002.
