Reinhard Fuhrmann

Reinhard Fuhrmann

Reinhard Fuhrmann was born in 1948 in Berlin. Shortly prior to his anticipated state examination, Fuhrmann was expelled from university in 1971 and prevented from continuing his studies. Without future plans in the GDR, he tried to flee to West Germany via Yugoslavia. He was caught while attempting to escape and sentenced to two years in prison, the majority of which was spent in the secret labour camp at Berlin-Hohenschönhausen.
