Maja Stadler-Euler (born August 13, 1941 in Berlin ) is a German lawyer and former member of the Hamburg Parliament for the FDP .

Life

Maja Stadler comes from a middle-class background. Her father August-Martin Euler , lawyer and FDP politician, worked for the European Community . From 1962 she studied in Bonn , Berlin , Lausanne and Cologne law . After taking her first state examination in 1967, she did an internship at the Commission of the European Community in Brussels . In 1968 she married a fellow student whom she had already met in her first semester. Since he was working as a trainee lawyer in Hamburg, she also applied for a traineeship there. Until she could run, she worked as an election worker for the FDP - but on the condition that she did not have to join the party.

politics

In 1970 she joined the FDP, soon became chairwoman of the Eppendorf - Groß Borstel district association and - sponsored by the regional chairman Hermann F. Arning - regional manager. “Back then,” says Stadler-Euler, “women only had a chance to get into management positions if they were supported by men”.

In the state elections in Hamburg in 1974 she moved into the Hamburg parliament as a member and was immediately elected deputy to the parliamentary group leader Gerhard Moritz Meyer . In 1977 he became the Senator of Justice, and Stadler-Euler was elected by her party friends - as the first woman in a German state parliament - to be group leader of the FDP Hamburg . “I very deliberately created a distance between the men and myself in Parliament. And that goes through clothing too. We wore the then fashionable pant suits. So we basically masculinized ourselves very much ”. Her political focus in citizenship was in the intergroup budget committee and the building committee. With the defeat of the FDP in the Hamburg state election in 1978 , her parliamentary career ended.

From November 1991 to November 1996 she was a judge at the Hamburg Constitutional Court .

census

Maja Stadler-Euler became known nationwide in 1983 when she and her colleague Gisela Wild blocked the nationwide census through a complaint to the Federal Constitutional Court . The lawyers were convinced that the planned procedure was unconstitutional because of the mixture of statistical purposes and administrative enforcement. The court agreed with them (→ census ruling ), the census had to be postponed and the relevant questions to the population changed.

Memberships

Stadler-Euler was also active on a voluntary basis. From 1971 to 1991 on the board of directors of the factory , an event center in Hamburg-Altona , and from 1983 to 1990 on the supervisory board of the Hamburger Schauspielhaus .
