Wspomnienia Markusa Meckela oddaj\u0105 z\u0142o\u017cono\u015b\u0107 los\u00f3w Ko\u015bcio\u0142a ewangelickiego w Niemczech Wschodnich jako ostoi niezale\u017cnego my\u015blenia i swobody dyskusji w komunistycznej dyktaturze. Markus Meckel wni\u00f3s\u0142 istotny wk\u0142ad w organizacj\u0119 demokratycznej opozycji we wczesnych latach 80. XX wieku, a nast\u0119pnie poprowadzi\u0142 \u015brodowiska socjaldemokratyczne do wygranej z re\u017cimem SED. Jego \u017cycie by\u0142o ukszta\u0142towane przez edukacj\u0119 poza systemem komunistycznym, odwag\u0119 i zmys\u0142 organizacyjny. Jako wsp\u00f3\u0142za\u0142o\u017cyciel wschodnioniemieckiej SPD i minister spraw zagranicznych demokratycznego rz\u0105du NRD wsp\u00f3\u0142kszta\u0142towa\u0142 proces zjednoczenia Niemiec i uznania granicy polsko-niemieckiej. Dzia\u0142a\u0142 r\u00f3wnie\u017c aktywnie na rzecz pojednania polsko-niemieckiego jako pose\u0142 do Bundestagu. Biografia Meckela zawiera cenne spojrzenie \u015bwiadka historii na stosunki polsko-niemieckie z rzadko zauwa\u017canej w Polsce perspektywy wschodnioniemieckiej.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Markus Meckel was born on 18 August 1952 in M\u00fcncheberg in Brandenburg in the GDR. In 1969, he had to leave high school for political reasons. He passed his baccalaureate at the Potsdam-Hermannswerder Theological Seminary and then studied theology in Naumburg and Berlin from 1971 to 1978. After his vicariate and pastoral service as a Protestant pastor in Vipperow\/M\u00fcritz, Meckel was director of the Ecumenical Meeting and Education Centre in Niederndodeleben near Magdeburg from 1988 to 1990. Since the 1970s, he was involved in opposition activities in the GDR. In 1989, together with Martin Gutzeit, he founded the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SDP) in the GDR, which he represented at the Central Round Table. After the first free elections in the GDR in 1990, he became Minister of Foreign Affairs. From 1990 to 2009 he was a member of the Bundestag on behalf of the SPD. He holds numerous honorary positions in foundations and organisations, including as Chairman of the Council of the Foundation for Polish-German Cooperation and Chairman of the Federal Council of the Foundation over the Dictatorship of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SPJN). From 2013 to 2016 he was chairman of the German People’s Association for the Care of War Graves (Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgr\u00e4berf\u00fcrsorge e.V.).
