Timeline

1944

Friedrich Schorlemmer (born 16 May 1944) is a German Protestant theologian.

1962

From 1962 to 1967 he studied theology at Martin-Luther University in Halle.

Then, he was a supervisor of studies in a hall of residence and a curate in Halle West.

1968

When, in 1968, Alexander Dubček tried to reform communism in Czechoslovakia in the Prague Spring, Schorlemmer and his friends not only sympathized with that development but also spread information about it.

1970

After his ordination in 1970, he worked as a minister in charge of young people and especially students in Merseburg.

In the 1970s and 1980s, he worked for environmental, human rights and peace groups.

The department "Political Underground" of the State Security Service (Stasi) put him under observation.

1978

In 1978, he became a lecturer at the Protestant Preachers' Seminary in Wittenberg and also a preacher at All Saints' Church (Schlosskirche, "Castle Church") there, which is closely associated with Martin Luther and his 95 Theses.

1983

He was responsible for a symbolical act at the Protestant Church Congress (Kirchentag) in Wittenberg on 24 September 1983, in which a sword was turned into a ploughshare by Stefan Nau, a local blacksmith.

The State Security Service did not interfere because the future West German President Richard von Weizsäcker, who was then Mayor of West Berlin, attended the Congress as a representative of the Council of the Protestant Church in Germany, and the Western media reported about it.

1988

In 1988, Schorlemmer's Wittenberg peace group presented twenty theses at the Church Congress in Halle, demanding more freedom.

1989

On 21 August 1989, Schorlemmer was among the founders of a group called Democratic Awakening (Demokratischer Aufbruch) in Dresden.

However, when this group had become a political party in December 1989, Wolfgang Schnur (who was later to be found out to have been a collaborator of the Stasi) and Rainer Eppelmann increasingly worked together with the Christian Democratic Union, Schorlemmer and some other members left it.

Schorlemmer joined the East German Social Democrats in the beginning of 1989.

The largest mass meeting in the history of the GDR took place on Alexanderplatz (Alexander Square) in East Berlin on 4 November 1989.

Many East Germans were no longer willing to accept the dictatorship of the ruling Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED).

It was a dangerous situation, with the possibility of a clash between the demonstrators and armed forces.

One of the speakers at the Alexanderplatz demonstration was Schorlemmer.

He called for change and a new beginning, but he also pleaded for nonviolence.

After the Berlin Wall had been opened on 9 November 1989, a lot of people left East Germany.

Schorlemmer and others published a passionate appeal to stay and build up a new and better kind of society there: Für unser Land ("For our country").

Still, the majority of East Germans supported parties like the CDU in the "Alliance for Germany" (Allianz für Deutschland), which stood for quick re-unification with West Germany.

Schorlemmer was awarded the Carl von Ossietsky Medal of the International League for Human Rights in 1989, the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade in 1993, an honorary doctorate by Concordia University in Austin (Texas) in 2002, and the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany in 2009.

He has published numerous books, essays, speeches and sermons.

The son of a Protestant minister, Schorlemmer was not allowed by the East German authorities to take the exam sat a normal secondary state school, but he passed his at an adult education centre.

As a pacifist, he refused to do military service.

Unification came on 3 October 1990.
