1944

Steffen Heitmann (born September 8, 1944, in Dresden) is a German Protestant theologian, church jurist and former politician.

1945

Steffen Heitmann's father died in 1945 in a Soviet prisoner of war camp and his mother died 1957.

Heitmann grew up with his grandparents.

1963

Heitmann took his Abitur examination in Dresden in 1963, refused military service and began training at the German Evangelical Church administration.

1964

Heitmann studied theology and phylogeny at the University of Leipzig from 1964 to 1969, took state examinations in theology and in 1972 took the second theological examination.

1970

In the mid 1970s, the couple used to conduct "Kellergespräche" (cellar talks) with lectures and discussions in the local cellar.

1971

In 1971/73 he was a parish priest and pastor in the Dresden Evangelical Community.

1980

This was followed by a church legal training, which he completed in 1980 with the first and 1981 with the second juridical examination.

1982

In 1982 Heitmann became administrative director of the church district of Dresden.

1989

In the autumn of 1989 Heitmann was legal adviser to the Dresden "Group of 20" opposition group.

1990

From 1990 to 2000 he was Minister of Justice of Saxony, and was a member of the Saxon Landtag from 1994 to 2009.

In April 1990, he headed the Working Group on the Gohrisch Draft Constitution of the Free State of Saxony.

In 1990 Heitmann became State Minister of Justice of Saxony and joined the CDU in December 1991.

1991

From 1991 until his retirement in 2015 he was a member of the Christian Democratic Union of Germany (CDU).

1993

In 1993, Heitmann was the CDU candidate for the May 1994 election of the President of Germany, chosen by Helmut Kohl.

On 25 November 1993, after disputed statements on the role of women, the Holocaust and foreigners which were regarded as ultra- conservative or even reactionary by critics, he renounced his candidacy.

An interview with Heitmann in the Süddeutsche Zeitung on September 18, 1993, brought discussions on Heitmann's political positions.

In the interview Heitmann talked about the multicultural society: "I consider this concept as a misguided program. A multicultural society can not be prescribed, it can grow at all costs."

On the nation, Heitmann said:"I am not afraid of the term. I am only frustrated by its misuse."

On the way to dealing with the Nazi past, Heitmann posed: "The German post-war role was in a way, a continuation of the presumed special role of the Nazi period. This is over. [...] I believe that the organized death of millions of Jews in gas chambers is indeed unique – just as there are many historically unique events. There are no repeats in history anyway. But I do not believe that a special role of Germany can be derived from this until the end of history. The time has come – the post-war period has finally come to an end with German unity – to classify this event."

Heitmann referred in this context to taboos, which he saw in the political culture of Germany: "The odd thing is in the Federal Republic of Germany, that there are a few areas that are taboo. There is an intellectual debate which does not necessarily correspond to the feeling of the majority of the citizens, but can not be left unpunished. And this includes foreigners. This includes the past of Germany – the Nazi past. This includes women. I believe that these debates must also be broken, even at the risk of being placed in certain corners in which one does not feel well."

1994

In 1994 he was elected a member of the Saxon Landtag, representing the Dresden 2 constituency.

The support of the FDP party in the 1994 Federal Assembly, essential to Heitmann's election, was already uncertain.

The case also points to the possibly strong effect of the media.

Surveys revealed that only a minority in the population agreed with Heitmann's expressed views.

1995

Heitmann was co-editor of the week newspaper Rheinischer Merkur from 1995 to 2010.

2000

After a complaint by the Saxon Data Protection Supervisor and after protest letters from a large number of judges, he resigned from the ministry, but rejected any wrongdoing.

2003

From 2003 to 2010 he was President of the Cultural Foundation of the Free State of Saxony.

2009

2015

During the refugee crisis in Europe in 2015, Heitmann wrote an open letter to Chancellor Angela Merkel in late November, protesting against the refugee policy of the CDU.

In the letter he held the Chancellor responsible for an "uncontrolled stream of refugees" and said, "I have never felt so alien to my country, even in the GDR."
