Political activity

Resistance as a GDR civil rights activist

From 1981 Lengsfeld was active in various opposition groups. In autumn 1981 she co-founded the Pankow Peace Circle . Because of these activities, she was banned from working and went to the Neues Leben publishing house , where she worked as an editor until 1983. Because of her public protests against the establishment of SS-20s in the GDR, she was expelled from the SED in 1983. From 1985 she worked as a beekeeper and translator and began studying theology at the Sprachenkonvikt Berlin . Her husband Knud Wollenberger also worked as a beekeeper. She was active in the Gegenstimmen group and in 1986 she moderated the first human rights seminar in the Protestant community in Berlin-Friedrichsfelde. In 1987 she co-founded the Church from Below . In addition, she frequented the environmental library in the parish hall of the Zionskirche and took part in protests here. Her commitment included the organization of numerous major events for the peace and environmental movement in the GDR. She was a member of the continuation committee for the delegates' meeting of peace circle members, which met annually under the title Concrete for Peace .

In January 1988 she was arrested on the way to the Liebknecht-Luxemburg demonstration in East Berlin . After her pre-trial detention in the central pre-trial detention center in Berlin-Hohenschönhausen of the MfS , she was sentenced to six months in prison by the Lichtenberg district court for “attempted rioting”. Her lawyer Wolfgang Schnur (then an unofficial employee of the MfS) got her to agree to her deportation to western countries instead of serving her imprisonment. Instead, she went to Cambridge , Great Britain , for just under two years , where she studied Philosophy of Religion at St. John's College and completed a master’s degree. She returned to the GDR for private reasons on November 9, 1989, the day the Berlin Wall came down. Vera Wollenberger's file contains the names of 49 Stasi IMs.

Commitment to Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen

In the course of the Peaceful Revolution , the civil rights activist joined the Green Party in the GDR , was elected to the People's Chamber of the GDR on March 18, 1990 and was deputy chairwoman of the Committee on Disarmament and Defense until its dissolution on October 2, 1990 . She also worked as a representative of the Green Party in the working group New Constitution of the GDR of the round table with. However, this draft constitution was not dealt with by the People's Chamber. She was elected in the Berlin constituency and was one of the members of the Bundestag who were sent from the People's Chamber on October 3, 1990 .

In the first general elections in reunified Germany in December 1990 was Lengsfeld that the name Wollenberger had assumed since her marriage to the poet Knud Wollenberger in 1980, for the list Association Alliance 90 / Green - citizens movements (. B90 / Gr) in the electoral area East Member of the German Bundestag .

In a parliamentary debate on the Second Gulf War in 1991, she expressed her criticism of the entry into the war by demonstratively remaining silent for a minute during her speaking time until her Bundestag President Rita Süssmuth withdrew, accompanied by shouts from the CDU / CSU parliamentary group such as “Circus! "," It should be examined! "

After Bündnis 90 and the Greens merged to form a new party in 1993, Lengsfeld was re-elected to the Bundestag in the 1994 general election.

In June 1996 Lengsfeld was involved in founding the Berliner Bürgerbüro e. V. , an association to deal with the consequential damage caused by the SED dictatorship.

Engagement in the CDU

In protest against a future red-red-green coalition she feared , a coalition of Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen together with the PDS and a “cuddling course” or “open pandering” to them, she joined forces with other civil rights activists like Günter Nooke and Ehrhart Neubert joined the CDU on December 17, 1996. Lengsfeld's allegations were rejected by leading Greens. With her change of party at the time, she disappointed other members of the Greens, such as civil rights activist Marianne Birthler , who saw the East German civil rights movement at the time of reunification better with the Greens. Lengsfeld switched to the CDU / CSU parliamentary group and, despite being requested to do so, did not give up her current mandate, which she had received from the list of the Green Party.

In the elections to the 14th German Bundestag on September 27, 1998 , she was elected via the CDU state list in Thuringia and in the election to the 15th German Bundestag on September 22, 2002, it was re-elected via the same list. Her autobiography was published in the same year.

In 2003, Lengsfeld described Martin Hohmann's expulsion from the CDU in the new right-wing Junge Freiheit as a “staged hunt” after he had given a speech criticized as anti-Semitic . In this context, Lengsfeld saw the risk of restricting freedom of expression, even if the speech was "inappropriate and superfluous". In the opinion of the taz, "as a result [she] turned more and more away from Angela Merkel's CDU". The political scientist Wolfgang Gessenharter assessed the interview with reference to the annual report of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution from 2003 as an example of an "erosion of the demarcation" of conservative people compared to the network of the New Right .

In 2005 she was defeated in her Thuringian constituency in the line-up for the direct candidacy for the Bundestag , whereupon she declared that she was no longer available as a candidate on the list . Her time as a member of the German Bundestag ended with the constitution for the 16th electoral term on October 18, 2005.

Lengsfeld ran again for the CDU in the Bundestag constituency of Berlin-Friedrichshain - Kreuzberg - Prenzlauer Berg Ost for the 2009 Bundestag elections . Stir her election poster that Lengsfeld and the CDU chairman made Angela Merkel deep decollete with the slogan "We have more to offer" shows. For Dirk Kurbjuweit , the poster was an example of a “trend towards self-clowning” prevailing in politics. It is difficult to find “something even more stupid” than this poster in the federal election campaign. Lengsfeld clearly missed the desired direct mandate with 11.6% of the first votes cast. It was the worst of all CDU direct candidates nationwide.

For the 2010 federal presidential election , Lengsfeld campaigned for Joachim Gauck to be elected within the CDU .

In July 2012 she was elected as the state chairman of the Association of Victims of Stalinism (VOS) Berlin-Brandenburg.

Turning to the New Right

Lengsfeld was, next to Klaus Peter Krause and Beatrix von Storch , in March 2013 on the board of the 2015 disbanded, by the CDU-affiliated Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung as " Apo from the right" and "from above", on the repatriation of the state and the reduction of social benefits aimed at citizens' conventions .

With a contribution published on March 20, 2013 on the axis of the good , Lengsfeld wanted to protect the AfD "for the sake of fairness against dubious allegations of alleged legal bias". After the AfD had also named Lengsfeld as a supporter on its website in May 2013, it declared that this had happened without its knowledge and had the party remove its name.

Before the 2017 federal election , she wrote on her website that there were attacks on the AfD that were unworthy of democracy. A planned appearance by Lengsfeld with the AfD chairwoman Frauke Petry in a sports hall in the city of Pirna was initially prohibited for reasons of usage rights and security, whereupon Lengsfeld and Petry appeared in an event that was declared a "sports festival".

In connection with the refugee crisis in Germany , Lengsfeld initiated the “ Joint Declaration 2018 ” in March 2018 , in which it says: “We are increasingly puzzled as to how Germany is being damaged by illegal mass immigration. We show solidarity with those who peacefully demonstrate that the rule of law will be restored at the borders of our country. ”The NZZ quoted Lengsfeld's statement“ The fear of it is still in the bones of those addicted to power ”, as Lengsfeld“ in all seriousness ”of Germany Comparing topicality with the late phase of the GDR, whose political class disappeared overnight. On October 8, 2018, the petitioners Lengsfeld and Henryk M. Broder were heard in front of the Petitions Committee of the German Bundestag , at which representatives of the Federal Government and members of all parties represented in the Bundestag were invited.

In April 2018, the Frankfurter Rundschau counted Lengsfeld “[a] llen vor” among the “part of the former GDR dissidents” who “today openly sympathized with the AfD and its positions” and “swung to the far right”.

In May 2018, Lengsfeld appeared as a speaker at the Pegida -near rally for freedom of expression and against the NetzDG in Cologne with 80 participants from the right-wing spectrum. Lengsfeld slapped a counter-demonstrator in the face because, according to her testimony, he had insulted her as a "Nazi bitch" during her speech. In the same month Lengsfeld took part alongside Thilo Sarrazin , Jörg Meuthen and others as a speaker at the “New Hambach Festival” organized by Max Otte . She attacked the Chancellor Angela Merkel and saw Germany on the way to the dictatorship of convictions, comparable to the final phase of the GDR.

On her homepage Lengsfeld published an appeal by Angelika Barbe for the second “Women's March to the Chancellery” organized by the AfD on June 9, 2018. Before the event began, Lengsfeld was there, but did not take part.

In August 2018, according to a report by the taz , Lengsfeld denied that there had been "attacks by Nazis" during the xenophobic riots in Chemnitz . In doing so, she referred to an article by Alexander Wendt , according to whose information the General Public Prosecutor's Office in Saxony had stated on request that, according to all the material available, there had been no hunt in Chemnitz.

In addition to the pseudonym "Hanno Vollenweider", Vera Lengsfeld, as a board member of the "Association of Free Media" founded in October 2018, was responsible for a free newspaper "Der Wahlhelfer - Arguments für responsible Citizens", which was distributed in high circulation in October 2019 during a state election There is suspicion of illegal party support for the AfD. The extremism researcher Matthias Quent sued the newspaper because of a false allegation by Lengsfeld, whereupon distribution was prohibited in an injunction.

Lengsfeld publishes regularly in right-wing conservative and new-right media (" Axis des Guten ", " Junge Freiheit "). She was nominated by the AfD as a representative of civil society to be appointed by the Bundestag on the board of trustees of the German Institute for Human Rights . She was not elected because all other parliamentary groups voted against her in May 2020.

Membership in the Union of Values

In August 2020 it became known that Lengsfeld is a member of the Union of Values. Membership received widespread media attention, as officials and state chairmen had left several times due to Lengsfeld's commitment to the Union of Values. For example, the former Thuringian state chairman Christian Sitter feared that the association "under Lengsfeld could open up more to cooperation with the AfD." Lengsfeld had previously announced with other signatories of a letter that they would form the future state board for Thuringia and stand for election.

COVID-19 pandemic

In the course of the COVID-19 pandemic , Lengsfeld called on March 28, 2020 via the short message service Twitter to sign a petition for the immediate lifting of all countermeasures, as the measures would restrict “civil liberties” and the pandemic “far less dangerous than other flu waves ”. In June 2020, she spoke to an audience of 700 at a demonstration under the motto "The mask must go".

Climate policy

Lengsfeld is counted by Spiegel to the “Who's Who” of the German climate change denial scene and is one of the signatories of Klimafragen.org , an appeal written by the New Right and climate change deniers that is directed against climate protection policy. She had previously spoken at an event by EIKE , an association that rejects and denies the scientific consensus on man-made global warming, and published her position in the Sächsische Zeitung .

Journalistic activity

Lengsfeld is the author of several books. Since she was not elected to the Bundestag in 2005, she has been working as a freelance journalist. She is the columnist of the weblogs The Axis of the Good and the AfD -near Internet newspaper Die Freie Welt . Lengsfeld also writes peculiarly free for the publications related to the New Right and the Preussische Allgemeine Zeitung as well as for the CSU organ Bayernkurier . She also publishes articles on Journalistenwatch , a platform of the New Right . Lengsfeld also writes regularly for the debate magazine The European .

In 2019, Lengsfeld got involved in connection with the state elections in Thuringia for a magazine Der Wahlhelfer - Arguments for responsible citizens, published under the unclear legal form and name of the Vereinigung der Freie Medien e. V. (i. Gr.) (= In foundation). The sheet contains contributions by right-wing authors who have been striking for years due to their proximity to the AfD . Along with Lengsfeld "Hanno Vollenweider" (pseudonym) is listed on the board, as well as the several times for sedition sentenced blogger Michael Stürzenberger . Lengsfeld and Vollenweider are listed as the publisher and responsible in terms of press law . When asked about this by the editorial team of the ARD magazine Kontraste for the broadcast on October 24, 2019, Lengsfeld denied knowing that the name Hanno Vollenweider was a pseudonym of the person behind it, but admitted this in writing a day later at the Kontraste editorial team. According to Kontraste, however , a "fantasy name in the imprint" contradicts press law, a person responsible may only be listed under a real name . In relation to the Contrasts accusation “[d] a are people in this association who have been convicted of sedition several times”, Lengsfeld claimed: “No, that's a lie in Wikipedia. It is on Wikipedia, but he has never been convicted. Assures me anyway he. "However, that was loud contrasts incorrect because Stürzenberger in a guest appearance shown in Pegida in Graz partly because of the statement" Every Muslim is a potential terrorist! "Res judicata for incitement was convicted.

She filed for divorce and resumed her maiden name. She forgave him after ten years when he apologized to her.

In the documentary film Stasi children - My father was with the MfS , Lengsfeld stated that at the age of 17 she found out by chance that her father was a full-time officer in foreign espionage at the Ministry for State Security.
