Karoline Preisler (born July 3, 1971 in Berlin ) is a German politician ( FDP ) and lawyer . Preisler became known nationwide through her corona diary that she kept on Twitter , which she began after she fell ill with the corona virus in March 2020 during her quarantine .

Professional career

After graduating from a polytechnic high school in Berlin, Preisler completed training as a lawyer and notary assistant from 1991 to 1993. From 1997 she studied law at the University of Potsdam , completed her first state examination in Potsdam in 2002 and her second state examination in Berlin in 2004. From 2004 to 2012 she worked as a lawyer in Berlin and since 2012 she has been working as a lawyer in Barth ( Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ).

Media attention

There was an attack on her and her underage daughter in February 2020. The state security has started investigations. However, whether the attack was politically motivated was later denied. However, it is still under investigation for attempted assault.

In March 2020, Preisler contracted the corona virus and spent two weeks in quarantine, during which she reported on the course of the disease and the accompanying symptoms in a "corona diary" via Twitter . Due to the open handling of the disease, Preisler received a lot of attention on Twitter and in various national and international media. That's why she was invited to talk shows such as Bei Maischberger and Markus Lanz . At the end of August 2020, she privately sought a factual discussion at a large Berlin demonstration with critics of the state restrictions due to Covid19 and tried to de-escalate.

Party activities

Preisler joined the FDP in 2013 and was initially active in local politics. In 2018, however, the faction in the city council of Barth dissolved due to a dispute with her. As a result, the city council resigned from the FDP and elected Preisler from the committee for school and social affairs and from the supervisory board of the municipal utilities. In the same year she ran for the mayor's office of her community and in 2019 stood as the top candidate of the FDP Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania for the European elections . At the European party conference of the FDP, she was elected to 19th place on the federal list.

She is chairwoman of the Arno-Esch-Stiftung , founded in 2009, which is a party-affiliated foundation of the FDP Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
