Life

From 1957 to 1962 Wolf-Dieter Narr studied in Würzburg, Tübingen and Erlangen. His doctorate and habilitation in 1969 took place in Konstanz. He was a fellow at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and taught from 1971 to 2002 as professor for empirical theory of politics at the Otto Suhr Institute (OSI) at the Free University of Berlin . In 1985, Narr and Peter Grottian renounced a third of his professorship in order to make a professorship for women's studies possible.

His publications deal with human rights , globalization and democracy . In addition, he emphasized his basic convictions with political actions. Narr was a co-founder and co-speaker of the Committee on Fundamental Rights and Democracy and a member of the Attac Scientific Advisory Board .

Narr was a founding editor of Leviathan magazine , which first appeared in 1973.

Political activity

Wolf-Dieter Narr took part in the student congress against nuclear armament in January 1959 . In 1968 he co-founded the Federal Assistant Conference , a driving force behind the later university reform. In 1969 Narr resigned from the SPD in protest against the grand coalition . In 1971 he founded the Iran Committee with Heinrich Albertz and Helmut Gollwitzer, among others .

In the mid-1970s, a small group worked under his leadership at the Free University of Berlin on the subject of politics / internal security. Initially it was called AG Bürgerrechte, later a non-profit association with the name Institute for Civil Rights & Public Security e. V. founded. The institute or association publishes a periodical, the magazine Bürgerrechte & Polizei / CILIP , for which Wolf-Dieter Narr was co-editor.

In 1978 Narr was a member of the German Advisory Council at the 3rd Russell Tribunal on the human rights situation in the Federal Republic. Together with Uwe Wesel and Vladimir Dedijer , he was one of the main initiators of this tribunal, from whose supporter movement the Committee for Fundamental Rights and Democracy emerged two years later , whose spokesperson Narr temporarily held. He was also a co-organizer of the Foucault Tribunal on the State of Psychiatry , which took place in Berlin in 1998 and was named after Michel Foucault .

Most recently, Narr was involved in refugee policy. For example, he lived in the Bramsche refugee camp for two days. Since 2002 he has also published in the newspaper Graswurzelrevolution u. a. about the anarchists Pyotr Kropotkin , Johannes Agnoli and Albert Camus .

For over twenty years, Narr suffered from an illness that increasingly restricted his ability to move and voice. He died on October 12, 2019 at the age of 82 in Berlin. The funeral took place on October 22, 2019 in the St.-Annen-Kirchhof in Berlin-Dahlem .
