Life

After obtaining his higher education entrance qualification, Skladny studied Protestant theology in Greifswald . Then he made a 1959 dissertation on a topic from the tray Old Testament and became a doctor of theology doctorate .

From 1969 to 1973 he was Klaus-Peter Hertzsch's successor and head of the (East) Berlin office of the Evangelical Student Congregations (ESG). As part of his guiding and coordinating activity, he wanted to motivate the student communities to support the socialist development of the GDR. In 1970 he presented a theses paper according to which the Christians in the GDR were forced to take a clear partisan statement that would lead to a fundamental decision in favor of socialism . Skladny emphasized, however, that it is not the ESG as a church group, but only the Christian as a person who can and should work in the social structures of the GDR. He worked towards ending the partnership between individual communities in the GDR and West German communities, and he succeeded in driving a wedge between the office and the communities in the GDR.

For the “ Humanist Association of Germany ” he also moderates roundtables in radio broadcasts as radio from senior citizens for senior citizens in the Berlin Open Channel .

In 2010 he signed an open letter of support to Margot Käßmann , chairwoman of the EKD , with which she was to be reinforced in her negative attitude towards German participation in the war in Afghanistan .
