In 1954 Kischke worked as a trainee at Wiesbadener Kurier . The following year she became a trainee at the Frankfurter Rundschau until she became an editor at Brigitte in Hamburg in 1957 .

From 1989 to 2002 she was a juror for the German Crime Prize . In 2000 she finished her work at the Frankfurter Rundschau .

Captivity in the Soviet Union

Martina Kischke fell in love with the Russian dam construction engineer Boris Romanowitsch Petrenko, son of a Ukrainian doctor, during a trip to the Soviet Union . On August 4, 1966, she traveled to Alma-Ata , the capital of Kazakhstan , to marry him.

On the third day of her stay, Petrenko hid a packet of cigarettes with microfilm images of secret military documents in Kischke's handbag and handed it over to the KGB , which arrested her on August 8th. She was accused of "dangerous activities" and later espionage for the BND .

After a month in prison, Kischke was transferred to the Lubyanka State Prison in Moscow . On the evening of December 23, 1966, after efforts by the editor-in-chief of the Frankfurter Rundschau , Karl Gerold , it was exchanged for the former SPD member of the Bundestag Alfred Frenzel and handed over to an envoy from the Protestant Church at the Wartha / Herleshausen border crossing .

reception

An excerpt from the reasons for the award of the Hedwig Dohm certificate :

“We honor Martina Iris Kischke for her outstanding professional commitment to women. With her conviction 'not to understand biology as fate', she has encouraged women to be themselves. Her journalistic work has contributed to the changed understanding of roles and public awareness through tiring persistence and against the current of the times. As an editor as well as an author, a decidedly wide range of topics was important to her, which was characterized by passion and enthusiasm for the most diverse life situations and concerns of people.
