Rainer Trampert (born May 5, 1946 in Heuwisch , Dithmarschen district , Schleswig-Holstein ) is a German publicist and former politician . He was a co-founder of the Green Party in the Federal Republic of Germany. Between 1982 and 1987 he was federal board spokesman for the "Greens" and a well-known representative of the party's left wing. Along with Thomas Ebermann, he was one of the pioneers of the so-called eco - socialists within the party. Together with several other protagonists of this wing, he resigned from the party in 1990 in protest against the political tendencies of the Greens; he accused them of increasingly conforming to the established parties. Today Trampert is mainly active as a journalist and is still known to the New Left .

Life

After attending secondary school , Trampert qualified as a business economist in addition to his training as an industrial clerk at Deutsche Erdöl AG , which later became Texaco . In between he did a brief service in the Federal Border Police .

He worked at Texaco from 1968 to 1984. In 1972 he was elected to the works council and released from the list of the IG Chemie, Papier, Keramik , which was running for the first time in the company . Until 1974 he was a member of the trust body and the tariff commission . In 1974 he was expelled from the union for critical publications on participation .

Rainer Trampert belonged from 1974 to the Communist League , which he in 1979 with the group Z left.

In 1978 he ran for the Bunte Liste - fight back alongside Holger Strohm as the top candidate for the Hamburg citizenship . He was a co-founder of the Green Party . At the 5th Federal Assembly of the Greens from November 12 to 14, 1982 in Hagen, Trampert was elected spokesman for the Federal Board of the Greens, re-elected several times and held this function until the 9th Federal Assembly from May 1 to 3, 1987 in Duisburg. In February 1989 he turned down a new candidacy for the federal executive committee because he did not see himself in a position to represent the party. He played a significant role in the development of the party's economic policy program in those years and, together with Thomas Ebermann, was the leading representative of the eco-socialists in the Greens. In April 1990 he left the party together with Thomas Ebermann and other prominent representatives of the Fundis and eco-socialists. In the declaration of resignation, he criticized the “desire of the green majority to become capable of governing as a reputable state party” and thus merely to enrich parliamentary operations with another “established example”.
