Life

Albrecht was born Petra Goslar in 1955 in Gotha, Thuringia. She is the daughter of a Red Army officer stationed in Thuringia at the time and a policewoman of the German People's Police at the time . Albrecht graduated from the Polytechnic and the Extended High School in Strausberg . Then she was admitted to law studies at the Karl Marx University in Leipzig in 1974 , from which she graduated in 1978 as a lawyer. She then moved to the Academy for Law and Political Science of the GDR in Potsdam , where she worked as a lawyer for agricultural law and a scientist for agricultural economics until 1985 . During this time she was in 1981 with a thesis on legal issues related to management of the Havelland fruit growing region as a production area of agriculture and food industry to Dr. jur. PhD. After moving to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences of the GDR in Berlin , Albrecht was also promoted to Dr. sc. agr. PhD. During her time at the Academy for Agricultural Sciences, she also lectured at the Humboldt University in the field of agricultural law for students of plant and animal production. In 1989 Albrecht switched to the Institute of the Central Committee of the SED for socialist economic management and social development in agriculture in Liebenwalde , where she worked until March 1990.

In January 1990 Albrecht was one of the co-founders of a PDS initiative group led by Lothar Bisky and Marion Morgenstern , which dealt with questions about the future of agriculture in the GDR. In this context, she also took part as an agricultural lawyer in the central round table for the PDS, where she mainly dealt with the future of the LPG and the continuation of the results of the land reform . As a result, when looking for suitable candidates for the first free election of the People's Chamber on March 18, 1990, her party's field of vision increased. Ultimately, she took up position 4 in the Potsdam district and thus moved into the People's Chamber. In the GDR parliament, she was a PDS representative, who had been unencumbered until then, of the Legal Committee, the Finance Committee and the so-called Gauck Committee.

After she was not one of the 144 members of the Volkskammer who entered the Bundestag on October 3, 1990, Albrecht was admitted as a lawyer in the new state of Brandenburg in October 1990. In November 1990 she also resigned from the PDS. In February 1991 Albrecht moved to Frankfurt am Main , where she initially worked from June 1991 to March 1995 for the construction trade association Frankfurt aM in the field of occupational diseases. At the same time, she was admitted to the Frankfurt am Main Regional Court as a lawyer from 1992, initially as a part-time job.
