Uta Felgner (born August 14, 1951 in Weißenfels ) is a German manager and former agent of the GDR state security .

Activity for the state security

According to her own statements, Uta Felgner was born as the only daughter of a Holocaust survivor in Saxony-Anhalt . The trained nurse and later beautician lived in East Berlin from 1973 , where she worked, among other things, as a saleswoman. In 1980, out of her own initiative and material interest, she offered herself to the State Security as an informant. Under the code name Schmidt, she used women-specific methods to obtain information about western business people and GDR functionaries for the East German secret service. She betrayed her lover Günter Asbeck , then general director of the foreign trade company Asimex , which supplied the GDR leadership, after he fled to the West. Your own attempt to be deployed in the West was rejected by the State Security. An escape attempt ended in prison in 1987. Her lover from West Berlin, Hans Schulze, was arrested as a confidante and was imprisoned in the Hohenschönhausen Stasi prison for over a year . In press reports it was suspected that Felgner's alleged relationship to a former lover to Hilde Benjamin contributed to the comparatively mild judgment. In the spring of 1988 a command officer was reassigned for the IM activity.

Career after the fall of the wall

After the fall of the Berlin Wall , she claimed to have passed the Abitur in the GDR and studied business administration at the Free University after the fall of the Berlin Wall . According to press reports, both degrees turned out to be invented. In 1993 Uta Felgner became managing director and later owner of a car dealership in Berlin. After its bankruptcy, she surprisingly became the boss of the renowned castle hotel in Grunewald . Here she had media-effective appearances as the host of the German national team under Jürgen Klinsmann during the 2006 World Cup . At times she was on the advisory board of the Investitionsbank Berlin . As early as 2005, with a complaint about Klaus-Joachim Gebauer , she initiated the investigation of the VW corruption affair. In the summer of 2007, Felgner took over the management of the Hamburg luxury hotel Grand Elysée. A year later she took on the role of hotel rescuer in a docu-soap for NDR .

In late autumn 2009, Felgner's stasis was uncovered and published by journalists from the Berliner Morgenpost . Uta Felgner, who has been divorced five times, now lives with a partner in Switzerland.
