Olaf Dinné (2005)

Olaf Dinné (born December 16, 1935 ) is an architect and politician in Bremen . He was one of the first four members of a green party in a German state parliament .

Life

Dinné grew up on the estate of his grandfather in Bremen in Silesia. After his father fell near Stalingrad in 1942 , he and his mother came to Bremen in early 1945 . In 1956 he graduated from high school in Barkhof . After studying architecture at the TU Berlin, Dinné worked as a freelance architect in Bremen. Together with artists, he initially settled in the old town, in the Schnoorviertel .

In 1964, Dinné and a collective took over the Lila Eule restaurant in Bremen. This bar was run as a jazz bar with political aspirations. On November 27, 1967, Dinné personally picked up Rudi Dutschke from Berlin, who was giving a speech in the Lila Eule that same evening. In the course of the unrest around 1968 it became the starting point and meeting point for the Bremen extra-parliamentary opposition . In particular, the demonstrations during the 1968 Bremen tram riots were prepared here.

Citizens' initiative against the Mozart route

As an extra-parliamentary politician, Dinné became particularly well known as a member of the SPD-Ortsverein Altstadt (OVA) in connection with the disputes over the so-called Mozart route , which, according to the plans of the Senate and the SPD parliamentary group of the Bremen citizens, was to cut through the district as a bypass .

The first considerations on this were concretised in November 1971 by the Senate of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen in a "renovation concept Ostertorviertel". The subsequent battle over the Mozart route lasted several years. The Social Democratic Bremen Senate of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen, with the support of the SPD parliamentary group and Neue Heimat as the planned developer, fought against the route, especially the SPD local association Altstadt. At that time, the area of ​​the local association included both the old town and the Ostertorviertel. As early as 1969, the local old town association asked the population about urgent problems in the district in a large survey. The results were rather surprising for the questioners: 95 percent of the population rejected the planned route and development. The local club then changed its strategy. He founded the independent working group Ostertorsanierung (AKO). In this way, completely different citizens from the district were reached. The protest was organized through regular publications by the old town local association and objective cooperation between all parties in the Central Advisory Board. On November 4, 1973 there was a special meeting of the SPD parliamentary group in which there was a majority of 26 to 24 votes for the Mozart Route project. This narrow result led to further discussions within the SPD leadership; the decision was withdrawn the next day. The SPD parliamentary group, equipped with its own majority in the Bremen citizenship, voted unanimously with 11 abstentions against Mozarttrasse and thus saved one of the most beautiful and most popular residential areas in Bremen today.

On January 16, 2009, around 40 years after these events, the Ostertorsanierung working group received the Bremen award for building culture. With this award, the Bremen Senator for Building and the Bremen Center for Building Culture (BZB) honored people "who have made a name for themselves through their commitment to the historic cityscape, to urban and architectural development and to conveying architectural values ​​- especially in Bremen." . With Dinné, the following members of the working group are among the award winners: Dieter Decker, Hanna Ehmcke, Hans-Jürgen Kahrs, Ursel Kerstein , Thomas Kerstein, Wolfgang Linder, Uwe Martin, Karsten Schwerdtfeger, Gert Settje, Hans-Martin Sixt , Ulrike Schellpeper and Herbert Wulfekuhl.

Fight against the Esenshamm nuclear power plant

After the successful fight against the Mozart route, Olaf Dinné and the old town club were involved in the fight against the Unterweser nuclear power plant (KKU) in Esenshamm . A model trial was initiated with the support of the local population ( Wesermarsch ) and from Bremen. Its scientific support was provided by professors from the newly founded Bremen University ( Manfred Hinz , Gerd Winter , Jörn Bleck-Neuhaus and others). The process was lost, but the radioactive release levels had to be reduced by 80%.

Bremen Green List

The participation in the anti-nuclear power movement, further negative experiences with the SPD etc. led to Dinné and other colleagues leaving the SPD in 1978 and to the establishment of the Bremen Green List (BGL) around Dinné. In the election for the Bremen citizenship in 1979, BLG managed to get 5.1% of the votes in the city of Bremen and to be represented as the first green party in a state parliament . The new MPs included Dinné, Peter Willers , Delphine Brox and Axel Adamietz .

At the founding party convention of the Greens in March 1980, Dinné spoke out clearly against dual membership in the party. He justified this with considerations of election strategy, among other things. A demarcation from the communists is necessary so that the impression does not arise that the new party has been subverted by communists. For this he was particularly criticized by left-wing members.

further activities

Dinné is still politically active outside parliament, within the framework of citizens' initiatives. This applies to the fight against nuclear facilities, but also to citizen-friendly urban planning and criticism of ruthless traffic planning ("madness continues to rage").

For the 2019 general election, Dinné planned to run a joint list of different citizens' initiatives. Due to differences of opinion, Dinné withdrew from the project in mid-May 2018. In October 2018 he took part in the founding of the Bremen State Association of Free Voters , whose first state chairman and top candidate for the citizenship election on May 26, 2019, he became in mid-November.
