politics

Member of the CDU since 1971, from 1984 Radzimanowski worked as a sector manager on the main board of the GDR CDU and from 1984 deputy department head for international relations. After the government was formed in April 1990, the close confidante Lothar de Maizières came to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the GDR as head of department , which was led by SPD politician Markus Meckel . After the SPD left de Maizière's government and Meckel's resignation on August 20, 1990, Prime Minister de Maizière also took over his office. Radzimanowski became State Secretary. He held this post until October 2, 1990. In 1991 he became managing director of the CDU Brandenburg . Because he was accused of incompetence and his past as a functionary in the headquarters of the GDR CDU, he lost this position after just a few months. After leaving the CDU, Radzimanowski joined the National Democratic Party of Germany in 2008 . For the state elections in Brandenburg in 2009 , he ran for fourth place on the NPD state list. He pleads for a free, social and national Germany. In addition, Germany should work more closely with Russia and the People's Republic of China instead of the United States . He worked as a parliamentary advisor for the NPD MEP Udo Voigt in its advisory staff.

Cooperation with the MfS

Radzimanowski was from 1969 to 1973 an unofficial employee (IM) of the Ministry for State Security (MfS) under the code name Markgraf . He provided information about the Protestant Church and the Action atonement . Even after he was released from his work, he passed on information to the MfS on several trips to South America. Radzimanowski himself rejected these allegations as false and only admitted contacts to the MfS that he had had in the course of an alleged recruitment attempt by the Federal Intelligence Service . At the beginning of the 1990s there were also reports of suspected close links between Radzimanowski and the Soviet secret service KGB .
