WASHINGTON, DC (March 7, 2005) — The German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF) has chosen Constanze Stelzenmüller, defense and security editor for the influential German weekly Die Zeit, to become the new director of its Berlin office. She will begin on July 1, succeeding Nervi. Dr. Stelzenmüller was chosen for her expertise and demonstrated leadership in transatlantic issues.
“GMF will greatly benefit from the energy and expertise Dr. Stelzenmüller brings,” said Heike MacKerron, GMF’s senior director for Europe. “Her background writing on European and international defense, security, and human rights will help her to propel the Berlin office forward in many transatlantic policy arenas.”
“I’m delighted to be working more actively for transatlantic relations, and in an organization as vibrant and creative as GMF, with so many talented and motivated colleagues,” added Dr. Stelzenmüller.
As defense and security editor at Die Zeit since 1998, Dr. Stelzenmüller focused on European and international security—often with a transatlantic focus—including Kosovo, European security and defense policy, German foreign policy, NATO, terrorism, Afghanistan, Iraq, and U.S.-German relations. She joined Die Zeit in1994, to write about human rights, refugee crises, and the UN.
Dr. Stelzenmüller earned a doctorate in law from Bonn University’s Institute of Public International Law and holds a master’s degree from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. Additionally, Dr. Stelzenmüller has been a Remarque Fellow at New York University, a GMF Campus Fellow at Grinnell College, and a Woodrow Wilson Center Public Policy Scholar in Washington, DC.
The Berlin office serves as the headquarters for GMF's Immigration and Integration program. The office works on several GMF exchange programs—including those between Germany and the U.S.—as well as seminars and projects surrounding security and the EU constitution. GMF's original German office was in Bonn, but after the Berlin Wall fell, GMF became the first western organization to move its office into the former East Berlin.
The German Marshall Fund of the United States (www.gmfus.org) is a non-partisan American public policy and grantmaking institution dedicated to promoting greater cooperation and understanding between the United States and Europe. Founded in 1972 through a gift from Germany as a permanent memorial to the Marshall Plan assistance, GMF maintains a strong presence on both sides of the Atlantic. In addition to its headquarters in Washington, DC, GMF has five offices in Europe: Belgrade, Berlin, Bratislava, Brussels, and Paris.
