Hannover's Bishop Assumes State Secretary Role - Hanover Bishop Advances to State Secretary Role
Get ready, Berlin! Petra Bahr, the Regional Bishop of Hannover, is about to shake things up in the Federal Ministry of Education, Family, Seniors, Women, and Youth. This 59-year-old theologian will join Minister Karin Prien (CDU) following the announcement made by the Evangelical Regional Church of Hannover.
Bahr has stood out in her role as Regional Bishop since 2017, making a significant impact in the discourse between church, politics, science, and culture. Her sharp wisdom and analytical perspective have earned her praise from Bishop Ralf Meister, who has lauded her unique influence on the office.
Before reaching evangelical heights, Bahr was no stranger to the political world. She spent time at the CDU-affiliated Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung e.V., heading the political department, and at the Council of the Evangelical Church in Germany, where she served as cultural commissioner. In 2002, she completed her doctorate at the University of Basel with a thesis on Immanuel Kant's "Critique of Judgment." From 2000 to 2006, she taught religious philosophy and ethics at the University of Frankfurt am Main.
As Bahr embarks on this new journey in Berlin, let's keep an eye on the groundbreaking contributions she'll make in enriching the lives of education, family, seniors, women, and youth. The city may never be the same!
