Renate Klingelhöfer (born October 30, 1933 in Graefenort in Upper Silesia ) is a German local politician who has also made a name for herself in senior work and in German-Polish reconciliation.

Life

Renate Klingelhöfer was born in Graefort (today Grotowice ) in what was then Opole County. After the Second World War, it was the age of eleven distributed and found after several months of joint flight with her mother and three sisters in today's district Eckartsborn the community Ortenberg (Hessen) a new home. She learned the profession of infant and pediatric nurse.

In 1968 there was a first meeting of former Gräfenorters in the Taunus and in 1975 Renate Klingelhöfer was one of the organizers of the first trip from Germany to Grotowice. She visited the new residents of her former home there despite warnings that real “Germans haters” would live there. In the next few years she helped the family and the region. In 1997, after the Oder flood , she collected funds for those affected in the area and later for the renovation of the parish church in which she was baptized. It is considered an example of German-Polish reconciliation on a small scale. To commemorate the fate of the former Germans in Silesia, there is a Graefenorter Strasse in their new home town of Eckartsborn .
