Nelly Haalck

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nelly Haalck (born August 11, 1899 as Nelly Habke in Ostrohe , Holstein , † March 9, 1985 ) was a German politician in the GDR ( CDU ).

Life

Nelly Haalck was born as the daughter of a teacher in the Norder-Dithmarschen district. After attending the Lyceum in Heide and an upper lyceum in Altona , Nelly Habke completed training for teachers from 1916 to 1920. She then studied economics for a few semesters in Hamburg and in Freiburg / Breisgau from 1920 to 1922. She was the wife of geophysicist Hans Haalck and ran the family household. From 1943 Nelly Haalck was drafted into the Reich Office for Soil Research , a successor to the Prussian State Geological Institute (PGLA) in Berlin. After the end of the Second World War, Nelly Haalck entered politics. In 1945 she became a member of the CDU in Brandenburg . Originally she was a teacher who could only practice her profession in the Weimar Republic, and - at the family's place of residence in Potsdam  - a housewife and mother for her two sons, the later historian Peter and the lawyer Jörgen Haalck , and then a politician in the Soviet Zone and GDR. During the GDR era, Haalck remembered a parents' evening in a Potsdam grammar school during the Nazi dictatorship in the course of the discussion in the GDR about the Nazi past of the head of the Federal Chancellery, State Secretary Globke , where it was announced that the children of Jewish parents would immediately would have to leave school "even though some of them were among the best students".

Political activity

In 1950 the CDU politician came to the Brandenburg state parliament as a member of parliament. At the 4th Brandenburg state party conference of the CDU in Eberswalde in July 1950, Nelly Haalck was elected as a deputy to the new state chairman Hermann Gerigk . She temporarily held her deputy position together with Heinrich Lechtenberg, the 2nd chairman of the CDU regional association Brandenburg . In the state parliament of Brandenburg, Nelly Haalck belonged to the parliamentary group of the Democratic Women's Federation Germany according to the list of members of the Brandenburg state parliament (1946–1952) 2nd electoral period. Twice, in 1954 and 1958, the woman politician was posted to the People's Chamber of the GDR. Nelly Haalck was a member of the "Committee for Citizens' Submissions to the People's Chamber". She visited in 1958 as a candidate for the People's Chamber several religious institutions to introduce themselves, including that of deaconesses led Oberlin House in Potsdam. Nelly Haalck was elected to the CDU presidium under party chairman August Bach in 1958 "as an appointed representative of women in the CDU" by the main board, to which she had been a member since 1956 , and held this position until March 1962. When the presidium of the main board formed after the 9th party congress of the CDU in 1958 was received by Walter Ulbricht , First Secretary of the SED , Nelly Haalck attended the meeting, together with August Bach, Friedrich Burmeister , Gerhard Desczyk , Fritz Flint, Gerald Götting , Wolfgang Heyl , Hansjürgen Rösner, Rudolph Schulze , Max Sefrin and Heinrich Toeplitz took part. The role of this block party in the GDR was thereby u. a. In view of a unified Germany emphasized that the Eastern CDU in particular had reaffirmed the task still accepted by the SED leadership at the time of “winning over middle-class circles for the national rebirth of Germany as a peace-loving, democratic state and involving them in the socialist transformation process”.

Since in 1957 the GDR was interested in an all-German policy in their favor, the politician received the Patriotic Order of Merit as an award at the suggestion of the CDU on the grounds: “Nelly Haalck, member of the CDU district committee in Potsdam, member of the People's Chamber and the National Council (the National Front ), has achieved special merits in the work of all of Germany and at international women's conferences. ”Before that, her merits as a woman politician were recognized with the award of the Clara Zetkin Medal . When she introduced West German women to the Stift zum Heiligengrabe monastery and the Hoffnungsthaler Anstalten - a church institution for people with disabilities - in the 1950s , the politician praised the "dedicated work" of the full-time employees , especially in Lobetal, and tried to gain trust to advertise the GDR among (West German) Christians, but especially to reduce “the distrust of West German visitors”. In 1959, in the tenth year of the GDR's existence, Nelly Haalck saw the aim of her political work in the GDR “to awaken a ... trusting willingness to cooperate in all Christian people”. In Heiligengrabe, Nelly Haalck found out several times about the work of the sisters of the Friedenshort in their diaconal service to neighbors, who found a new home and activity in the care of orphaned children here in 1945 after their expulsion from the deaconess motherhouse in Miechowitz / Upper Silesia . With her commitment as a supervisor of Christian women's groups from West Germany and her visits as a Volkskammer candidate or member of Heiligengrabe, Nelly Haalck could not prevent the GDR authorities from ordering post-war children cared for by the church in state homes at the end of the 1950s. Nelly Haalck occasionally worked as a guest commentator both in the press and on radio in the GDR. In her second home in Potsdam, Nelly Haalck was politically active as a member of the district council of the CDU, as a district councilor and deputy chairwoman of the DFD district council.

At the age of 75, Nelly mentioned Haalck as a résumé of her life, her commitment to women's rights and that she was able to travel “a lot and far”. Together with her husband Hans Haalck , Nelly Haalck traveled to Canada for the first time in the Weimar Republic in 1927. She belonged to delegations of the GDR, which among other things went to western capitals. For example, Nelly Haalck took part as a member of the People's Chamber at the London conference of parliamentarians from East and West on disarmament issues in February 1960. She took particular pleasure in working for other people as well as "engaging with the art and history of other peoples."
