Hans-Joachim Willerding Biography

Hans-Joachim Willerding is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on April 19, 1952 in Pankow, Berlin, Germany. Hans-Joachim Willerding, born 19 April 1952, is a former politician (SED), of the German Democratic Republic.

Hans-Joachim Willerding was listed on the 1986 candidate list for the Central Committee membership. This was a significant step in a constitution that now explicitly asserted the “leading position” of the party above the government ministers and national legislature. Hans Modrow proposed him for Central Committee membership. Willerding, at 37 years old, was the youngest member the nation’s expanded leadership team. Protestors broke down the November 1989 Berlin Wall. Once it became clear that the occupying military forces did not have orders to suppress the demonstrations by force it was obvious that nothing could stop the momentum for German reunification. The Central Committee realized its inability to influence events and resigned on 2 December 1989. In March 1990, East Germany would hold its first and final free election.

On 8 November 1989 he was elected to membership of the powerful Central Committee of the country’s ruling Socialist Unity Party where he sat as the committee’s youngest member. A couple of days later the Berlin Wall was breached, setting in motion events that would lead to reunification in October

1990. Much sooner than that, however, the promising career of Willerding at the top level of the East Germany’s political power structure was cut short on 2 December 1989 when the Central Committee resigned en masse.

The 1990 General election took place on 18 March and Willerding was a candidate. Between 1950 and 1986 national elections in the German Democratic Republic had been organised according to a single list system whereby voters could vote to support or reject a single list of candidates. The record indicated that the single list had always been supported by more than 99% of those voting. For 1990, however, each party was permitted to place its own candidate list before the electorate. The PDS gained 16.4% of the national vote, entitling it to 66 seats in the National assembly (Volkskammer), and Jochen Willerding’s name was high enough up his party’s list to give him a seat in the new chamber. He sat as a PDS member till 3 October 1990, which was when the East Germany national assembly dissolved itself in order to make way for the first election of the reunited Germany, which duly took place on 3 December 1990.

East Germany’s (hitherto dominant) SED (party), responded quickly to the events, renaming itself and reorganizing itself as the Party of Democratic Socialism / Partei des Demokratischen Sozialismus. On 9 December 1989, the party was reborn and Jochen Willerding was elected to the Party Presidium. He was also a member the party’s Commission for International Policy. In this capacity, he traveled to Moscow on 12 September 1990 and took part in an important meeting with Valentin Falin (then Central Committee Secretary of Soviet party’s) and Chairman of its International Section. This meeting was about the Soviet attitude towards German reunification. Formal implementation would occur in October 1990.
