Life

Hannig was born in Regis-Breitingen, but grew up in Senftenberg as a child . He attended there from 1962 to 1970 the polytechnic high school " Arthur Wölk " and then from 1970 to 1974 the extended high school " Walter Rathenau ", also in Senftenberg, which he left with the Abitur. In order to be able to begin his teaching studies, he signed up for three years with the National People's Army , where he served as a non-commissioned officer from 1974 to 1977 . With the beginning of the military service he also became a member of the SED . He then studied chemistry and mathematics at the "NK Krupskaja" college of education in Halle until 1981 and graduated as a high school teacher for chemistry and mathematics.

After completing his studies, Hannig received a position as a teacher at the Otto Müller Oberschule in Sedlitz , which he was director from 1985 to 1990. During the political change in the GDR Hannig stayed in his party and was one of the younger, unencumbered faces that the SED successor party, the PDS, put up as a candidate for the Volkskammer election on March 18, 1990 . Hannig ran in the constituency of Cottbus on list position 3. Since the PDS could win 4 seats in this constituency, he moved as a member of the last people's chamber.

After the end of the parliamentary period, Hannig returned to his teaching profession. Although he lost his position as director, he was able to switch to the Bernhard-Kellermann-Oberschule in Senftenberg in 1991, where he worked as a teacher for natural sciences and special education for behavioral disorders until 2012. In the 2012/13 school year he moved to the secondary school at Wehlenteich in Lauchhammer , where he has been teaching mathematics, chemistry and computer science ever since.

After his membership in the People's Chamber, Hannig remained politically active in local politics. From 1990 until its dissolution in 1994, he led the PDS district association Senftenberg as chairman. Since the establishment of the Oberspreewald-Lausitz district council in 1993, Hannig was a member of this parliament, initially for the PDS, and since 2007 for Die Linke. From 2003 to 2008 he was chairman of the district council. After Die Linke formed a joint parliamentary group with Bündnis90 / Die Grünen in December 2015, Hannig resigned from his district council mandate.

Hannig has been a member of Senftenberg's city council since 2002 and has been parliamentary group chairman there since 2003.

In the district elections in 2010 in the Oberspree-Lausitz district, Hannig stood as a candidate of the left, but lost the election against the non-party Siegurd Heinze , who was elected as district administrator, and the SPD candidate Martina Gregor-Ness .

Hannig is married and has two children.
