Life and work

After graduating from high school in 1973, Krautzberger began studying sociology and English at the University of Munich . In 1976 he studied administrative sciences in Konstanz with a diploma. From 1979 to 1980 she worked as a research assistant at the Department of Political Science at the University of Bonn . From October 1980 she joined the city administration of Wuppertal as a scientific clerk and head of department, from 1986 she was department head in the office for urban development and environmental protection. In 1992 she moved to Lübeck's city ​​administration as the Senator for the Environment, and from 1997 she was also Deputy Mayor. In 1998 she worked for six months at the Vereinigte Energiewerke AG (VEAG), then for a year as an alderman for the planning, building and living department of the city of Oberhausen until she was appointed State Secretary.

politics

From December 1999 Krautzberger became State Secretary in the Berlin Senate Department for Urban Development (then headed by Peter Strieder ). She remained in this position under Strieder's successor Ingeborg Junge-Reyer , where she was responsible for the areas of traffic and urban planning. During the period mentioned, she also went public at the inauguration of various projects. When the Senate Wowereit IV took office in December 2011, Krautzberger was put into temporary retirement and has been President of the Federal Environment Agency since 2014. In January 2017, as a climate protection measure , she called for the abolition of the reduced VAT on foods of animal origin and thus a tax increase from 7 to 19%.

In 2017, Krautzberger proposed a general speed limit in German urban traffic of 30 km / h, as this would lead to more environmentally friendly and smoother traffic. This proposal aroused considerable criticism. Your attempt to "review" the so-called diesel privilege (reduced tax rate for diesel fuel) was rejected by the federal government.
