From Hannover's Bishop to Berlin's State Secretary: Petra Bahr's New Role

Hanover's Bishop is appointed as the new State Secretary - Hanover Bishop Takes State Secretary Position

Here's a lowdown on Petra Bahr, a 59-year-old theologian who's about to shake things up in the political scene. Hailing from Hannover, this dynamic woman is set to join the Federal Ministry of Education, Family, Seniors, Women, and Youth in Berlin as state secretary, working under Minister Karin Prien (CDU).

Bahr has been gracefully helming the Hannover district since 2017, effectively leaving her mark on the position and sparking vital conversations between church, politics, science, and culture. As announced by the Evangelical Church of Hannover, her wisdom and analytical prowess have earned her this significant new role.

Known for her incisive intellect and forward-thinking approach, Petra Bahr's résumé includes a stint as head of the politics department at the CDU-affiliated Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung e.V., as well as serving as the cultural commissioner of the Council of the Evangelical Church in Germany. In 2002, she earned her doctorate from the prestigious University of Basel, specializing in Immanuel Kant's "Critique of Judgment." From 2000 to 2006, she taught religious philosophy and ethics at the University of Frankfurt am Main.

While Hannover will surely miss her, we're eager to see Petra Bahr's transformative impact on Berlin and the Federal Ministry of Education.
