Life

Poldrack grew up in the largest coal-growing area in the GDR , in the Bitterfeld area . The relevance of environmental issues therefore played a role in their lives from an early stage. Because of her involvement in the young community , her medical studies in Leipzig was refused, so she studied medicine in Greifswald from 1973 .

In her church student community she was a confidante and through connections to Bonn and Düsseldorf came to literature from the FRG , which was secretly copied. In 1979 she finished her studies and worked as a doctor in Stralsund and Greifswald .

Since the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, Poldrack has been involved in the fight against the "flagship" nuclear power plant in Lubmin . In the spring of 1989 the Citizens' Initiative Kernenergie eV was founded to promote alternative energy concepts in Greifswald. As chairwoman, she spoke out in favor of shutting down the nuclear power plant and later against the establishment of a nuclear interim storage facility. In 1990 the nuclear power plant was shut down, which earned her approval but also rejection.

In the following years of the nineties Poldrack became a member of the nuclear energy advisory board of the state government of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania , led environmental projects and worked in a regional office for the Green parliamentary group. Poldrack is now back to work, but continues to participate in the anti-nuclear movement.

In 1992 she received an environmental grant from the German Marshall Fund of the United States for her activities. In 2000 she was honored by the Hanseatic City of Greifswald for her voluntary work.
