The former Vice President of the Bundestag, Antje Vollmer, is dead. She died peacefully on Wednesday with her family after a long, serious illness, her son Johann Vollmer told the German Press Agency on Thursday. The former Green politician was 79 years old. Between 1994 and 2005, the doctor of theology was a member of her party’s Bundestag and Vice-President of the Bundestag.
Green politician Katrin Göring-Eckardt, currently Vice President of the Bundestag herself, wrote on Twitter that Vollmer had “fought through much of what we are benefiting from today”. The deceased “kept her own head” and was inflexible.
Former CDU Minister Peter Altmaier praised Vollmer on Twitter as an “uncomfortable reminder, an unwavering humanist and an important political personality”. Vollmer did a lot to turn the Greens from a left-wing protest movement into a democratic parliamentary party.
