Life

As police chief inspector, he worked for the Hamburg traffic department until April 2015. He became a member of the police union in 1978.

politics

In 1986 he was co-founder and spokesman of the Federal Working Group of Critical Police Officers (Hamburger Signal) eV, for which he received the Gustav Heinemann Citizen Prize in 1988 . In 2000, after his unsuccessful application for the BAG to dissolve itself, he resigned from the working group of critical police officers. Over the years, the difference between the content represented in the Hamburg citizenship and the positions of the Federal Working Group of Critical Police Officers had become too great.

In 1993 Mahr was placed on a safe list of the Hamburg GAL for the 1993 elections as a representative of three non-governmental organizations because he was a spokesman for the BAG for critical police officers. From 1993 to 2003 he was a member of the citizenship of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg . As a member of the citizenship , he was a member of the interior, legal and submission committees as well as a member of the parliamentary control committee to ensure the inviolability of the home.

During his mandate, he mainly campaigned for the improvement of the conditions of detention of convicts and prisoners on remand in Hamburg prisons by handling individual cases as well as for strengthening the rights of victims in criminal proceedings and - as before his mandate - for close control of the police. He was also a key advocate and co-initiator of the not undisputed law on the police commission.

Mahr was actually non-party, but accepted his mandate for the Green Alternative List (GAL) . In May 2003 he resigned his mandate in order to work as a deacon in addition to his main job as a police officer . He couldn't cope with the decision he himself admitted as a mistake to carry out emetics against dealers. Their use resulted in deaths in Hamburg and Bremen.
