Live and act

Childhood and youth

Peschel-Gutzeit was born in Hamburg as the daughter of a PhD economist from Thuringia and a teacher . The mother's family came from here, the Brüggmann merchant family, impoverished during the First World War . The father was not a formative person in Peschel-Gutzeit's life, which is why she mentions her adoptive father as "biological father" in her autobiography . However, he only adopted her when she was of legal age . The name Gutzeit comes from him . Until then she was called Brüggmann like her mother . She has a half-sister from her mother's first marriage, four years her senior. After the bombing of Hamburg and deportation to Kinderland , she returned to Hamburg with her half-sister in 1946.

Professional background

Peschel-Gutzeit studied from 1951 jurisprudence at the University of Hamburg and the Albert-Ludwigs-University of Freiburg and completed her legal training in 1959 with the second legal state examination. She then worked briefly as a lawyer, then she became a judge at the Hamburg Regional Court .

Early on, Peschel-Gutzeit focused on family law , children's rights and equality between women and men. From 1977 to 1981 she was chairwoman of the German Association of Women Lawyers and joined the SPD in 1988.

From 1972 Peschel-Gutzeit was a family judge at the Hanseatic Higher Regional Court in Hamburg, where she was appointed chairwoman of a family senate in 1984 after some internal quarrels. In 1990 she was introduced to the University of Freiburg with the work “The right to deal with one's own child. A systematic presentation " on the Dr. jur. PhD.

In 1988, as part of its PorNO campaign, Emma magazine published a draft law that had been drawn up in collaboration with Peschel-Gutzeit. The draft was not implemented.

In 1991 she was elected to the Hamburg Senate by the citizens and was a member of Senate Voscherau II . She became the Senator of Justice . She remained in this department until the end of 1993, when the SPD lost its absolute majority and formed a coalition with the STATT party ( Senate Voscherau III ).

In 1994 she became the successor of Jutta Limbach as Senator of Justice in Berlin in the Senate Eberhard Diepgen ( Senate Diepgen III appointed).

She left this office in 1997 to take over the justice department in Hamburg again, this time under Ortwin Runde (SPD) in a coalition with Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen . After losing the government majority in 2001 (state election in Hamburg September 23, 2001 ), Peschel-Gutzeit left office and turned his back on politics.

During her work as Justice Senator in Hamburg, Berlin and then again in Hamburg, Peschel-Gutzeit focused on the legal enforcement of the equality of men and women anchored in the Basic Law . Although it encountered violent backlashes, it was able to implement corresponding bills, e.g. B. the so-called Lex Peschel (§ 92 BBG ), in which it was established that civil servants can work part-time for family reasons. In an article in the Neue Juristische Wochenschrift she also advocated the “right to vote from birth”, exercised by parents up to the age of majority.

In 2019 she received the Rhineland-Palatinate Women's Prize for her pioneering work in the field of women's rights.

Personal

Her first marriage to a terminally ill colleague ended in 1958 with his death and remained childless. In 1961 she married Horst Peschel, a criminal judge who also worked at the Hamburg Regional Court and with whom she has three children. The marriage ended in divorce in 1973.

Peschel-Gutzeit published her autobiography in 2012 under the title Naturally Equal Rights .
