The FDP politician Hildegard Hamm-Brücher has died at the age of 95 years


The longtime FDP politician Hildegard Hamm-Brücher died at the age of 95 years. This confirmed her son on Friday the German press agency in Munich. Earlier, the Bavarian Radio reported on her death.
For decades, Hamm-Brücher coined the policy of the Liberals, as a Bundestag delegate and Minister of State at the Foreign Office under Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher. "With her, Germany loses a great liberal personality," said the Bavarian FDP-nationalist Albert Duin.
Hamm-Brucher was born in 1921 in Essen, she grew up in Berlin on. 1948 pulled the postgraduate chemist for the FDP in the Munich City Council.
Election to the Federal President did not succeed
The coronation of her career was denied her: Hamm-Brücher ran for the office of the Federal President in 1994. But in the third ballot, her party sacrificed her to the coalition coalition - the head of the state became Roman duke.
After 50 years in the FDP, Hamm-Brücher gave up her party debut in 2002 because of anti-Israeli statements by the former party leader Jürgen Möllemann. In 2015, her health deteriorated. But despite two throats, memory gaps and disturbances of balance, she pursued the developments in politics.
