Thea Bock

Life

Thea Bock was a sports teacher in the Hamburg district of Moorburg in the Harburg district . Her commitment to protecting the environment of her homeland south of the Elbe brought her to politics through her work in citizens' groups. In 1981 she belonged to the Alternative List and in the spring of 1982 to the co-founders of the GAL, which emerged from the merger of the Alternative List and the Greens.

In the Hamburg state election in June 1982 Thea Bock ran as GAL top candidate together with Thomas Ebermann . The GAL came into parliament for the first time and received nine seats. Thea Bock said in retrospect: “We were not wanted. For the SPD we were non-persons: stone throwers, chaos, poorly dressed, knitting. "

Exploratory talks with the SPD about tolerating an SPD minority government failed because of the issues of port expansion, Elbe pollution and nuclear phase-out. The SPD requested the dissolution of parliament; GAL agreed to the application. She received eight seats in the new election in December 1982.

Thea Bock made a name for herself as a member of the Georgswerder Parliamentary Committee of Inquiry and in particular in clearing up the poison scandal of the pharmaceutical company Boehringer Ingelheim , which had stored dioxin-containing waste on the factory premises in Billstedt. She also took part in a blockade of the plant. It closed in December 1984.

In January 1985 the elected GAL citizenship deputies resigned on a rotation basis and were replaced by successors.

In 1986 Thea Bock belonged to the 13-member GAL parliamentary group. Only women moved into the citizenship for the party, a novelty in German politics. The First Mayor of Hamburg, Klaus von Dohnanyi , spoke of a " puppet theater ". In May 1987 there was another election. Thea Bock again belonged to the citizenry. In 1988, after grueling arguments with the fundamentalist wing of the party, she resigned from her citizenship mandate. She wrote in Der Spiegel : “Today internal party political disputes at the GAL and at the federal party of the Greens take place in a hateful and inhuman climate. [...] Restoring the political capacity of the GAL requires enormous psychological and political effort. Above all, this means that alliances with political violent criminals must come to an end. I can no longer muster this strength in the GAL. "

Thea Bock left the GAL and joined the SPD. In the federal election in 1990 she ran in the constituency of Hamburg-Nord and received 39.8 percent of the first votes, but was defeated by the CDU candidate Dirk Fischer , who received 41.6 percent of the votes.

On July 4, 1991, she came to Parliament to replace Peter Zumkley and was a member of it until the end of the 1994 electoral term. There she was a member of the Audit Committee.

On May 23, 1994 she was a member of the Federal Assembly for the election of the Federal President.

She is married to Jürgen Mantell , the former district manager of Eimsbüttel .
