Reichinnek intends to ink a collection of books onto his skin
Heidi Reichinnek: A Tattooed Politician with a Love for Books
In a revealing interview with Stern, Heidi Reichinnek, the Left party faction leader in the Bundestag, opened up about her unique collection of tattoos. The 37-year-old politician, who hails from Saxony-Anhalt, currently resides in Osnabrück.
Reichinnek's arm is adorned with tattoos of an otter, a cat, and an image of Rosa Luxemburg, a prominent figure in German social democracy. She also has a tattoo of a hyena, described as a beautiful animal, and some hidden tattoos that are not visible in daily life.
The interview, published by dpa (Deutsche Presse-Agentur), also delved into Reichinnek's personal life. She identified as an "Ossi", referring to someone from East Germany. Her parents, who were church members in the former GDR, have mixed feelings about her tattoos. Despite their reservations, they share many of the Left's demands but don't want the GDR back.
Reichinnek's parents, who still live in Saxony-Anhalt, were supportive of her political career. Her father, who was inventive at heart, passed away on the day of her Abitur examination. Her mother, described as "modern", continues to be a significant influence in her life.
In addition to her political pursuits, Reichinnek loves reading. She plans to get a stack of books tattooed on her skin, a testament to her passion for literature. Reichinnek has also spoken about her tattoos with Bunte, another German magazine.
Reichinnek entered the Bundestag via the Lower Saxony state list of the Left party. As the faction leader, she continues to advocate for the party's policies and represents its values in the German parliament.
