Ex-Justice Minister Hoffmann becomes State Secretary in Berlin!

Berlin, Deutschland - Susanne Hoffmann, who has worked as a Brandenburg Minister of Justice in the past, is about to take the next step in her career. As the Tagesschau become. This announcement came on the social media of the Brandenburg CDU and was confirmed by the "Tagesspiegel".

Hoffmann, who was born in West Berlin on February 2, 1960, brings an impressive career in law. From 2019 to 2024 she was Minister of Justice of the State of Brandenburg and previously briefly attorney in General. Initially, she studied law at the Free University of Berlin and joined the public prosecutor of Berlin in 1987, where she dealt intensively with organized crime. Her almost 20 years of experience in the Berlin judiciary, which she collected, among other things, at the public prosecutor and the Chamber Court, qualifies her for her future role.

professional milestones

Hoffmann has gone through numerous management positions, including the senior general prosecutor in the Brandenburg General Prosecutor's Office. Her term of office as Minister of Justice was characterized by several reforms, such as the introduction of an online registration portal for official and mandate, which was started in May 2024 to fight hatred and agitation on the Internet. Nevertheless, she also received criticism, for example because of dealing with judges and a controversial assessment culture in the judiciary.

The Brandenburg CDU describes it as a "assertive" personality with a "clear compass". Hoffmann is 65 years old and is about to retire, while the legislative period lasts until autumn 2026. In her new position, she will replace Esther Uleer, who has switched to the Federal Press Office. However, the staff has not yet been officially confirmed and the approval of the Senate is pending.

women in management positions

The discussion about female managers in public administration is becoming increasingly important. The dbb emphasizes that the proportion of female managers in the federal administration has been stagnating in around a third for years. The Federal Government aims to achieve an even occupation of management positions by men and women by 2025. Against this background, Hoffmann's appointment could be seen as a step in the right direction.

It is hoped that the reforms and promoting a discriminatory -free assessment culture will get more women in management positions. The current challenge is to enable equal participation and to strengthen the dialogue between politics, science and administration in order to establish a gender performance culture.

With her upcoming appointment, Susanne Hoffmann could not only drive her personal career, but also act as a model for prospective female managers in politics.
