This ended in a reprimand due to his "undisciplined conduct" in fleeing from prison at the start of the year, an action which was debated upon it jeopardizing the other communist inmates.
On 7 October the German Democratic Republic was formed with the adoption of a new constitution , establishing a political system similar to that of the Soviet Union.
Within the state's socialistic single party government, Honecker determinedly resumed his political career and the following year was nominated as a candidate for the Politbüro of the SED's Central Committee.
During the internal party unrest following the suppressed uprising of June , Honecker sided with First Secretary Walter Ulbricht, despite the majority of the Politburo attempting to depose Ulbricht in favour of Rudolf Herrnstadt.
After returning to East Germany in Honecker became a fully-fledged member of the Politburo, taking over responsibility for military and security issues.
While Ulbricht had replaced the state's command economy with, firstly the " New Economic System ", then the Economic System of Socialism , as he sought to improve the country's failing economy, Honecker declared the main task to in fact be the "unity of economic and social politics", essentially through which living standards with increased consumer goods would be raised in exchange for political loyalty.
After also succeeding Ulbricht as Chairman of the National Defence Council in , [28] Honecker was eventually also elected Chairman of the State Council a post equivalent to that of president on 29 October Until the "little strategic clique" composed of these three men was unchallenged as the top level of East Germany's ruling class.
Alongside him, Honecker held daily meetings concerning the party's media representation in which the layout of the party's own newspaper Neues Deutschland , as well as the sequencing of news items in the national news bulletin Aktuelle Kamera , were determined.
Under Honecker's leadership, East Germany adopted a programme of "consumer socialism", which resulted in a marked improvement in living standards already the highest among the Eastern bloc countries.
More attention was placed on the availability of consumer goods, and the construction of new housing was accelerated, with Honecker promising to "settle the housing problem as an issue of social relevance".
While brought the World Festival of Youth and Students to East Berlin , soon dissident artists such as Wolf Biermann were expelled and the Ministry for State Security raised its efforts to suppress political resistance.
Honecker remained committed to the expansion of the Inner German border and the " order to fire " policy along it. After the Federal Republic had secured an agreement with the Soviet Union on cooperation and a policy of non-violence, it became possible to reach a similar agreement with the GDR.
The Basic Treaty between East and West Germany in sought to normalise contacts between the two governments. East Germany also participated in the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe held in Helsinki in , which attempted to improve relations between the West and the Eastern Bloc, and became a full member of the United Nations.
In September , he became the first East German head of state to visit West Germany , where he was received with full state honours by West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl in an act that seemed to confirm West Germany's acceptance of East Germany's existence.
During this trip he also journeyed to his birthplace in Saarland, where he held an emotional speech in which he spoke of a day when Germans would no longer be separated by borders.
In the late s, Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev introduced glasnost and perestroika , reforms to liberalise socialist planned economy. Frictions between him and Honecker had grown over these policies and numerous additional issues from onward.
They argue:. Western analysts, according to Zelikow and Rice, believed in that Communism was still secure in East Germany:.
Honecker felt betrayed by Gorbachev in his German policy and ensured that official texts of the Soviet Union, especially those concerning perestroika , could no longer be published or sold in East Germany.
At the Warsaw Pact summit on 7—8 July in Bucharest, the Soviet Union reaffirmed its shift from the Brezhnev Doctrine of the limited sovereignty of its member states, and announced "freedom of choice".
Already in May Hungary had begun dismantling its border with Austria , creating the first gap in the so-called Iron Curtain , through which several thousand East Germans quickly fled in hopes of reaching West Germany by way of Austria.
Thus the united front of the Eastern Bloc was broken. When they came to the picnic, they were given gifts, food and Deutsche Mark, and then they were persuaded to come to the West.
At the time Honecker was sidelined through illness, leaving his colleagues unable to act decisively. He had been taken ill with biliary colic during the Warsaw Pact summit.
He was shortly afterwards flown home to East Berlin. As a result of this operation, Honecker was away from his office until late September Back in office, Honecker had to contend with the rising number and strength of demonstrations across East Germany that had first been sparked by reports in the West German media of fraudulent results in local elections on 7 May , [41] [59] the same results he had labelled a "convincing reflection" of the populace's faith in his leadership.
Several thousand East Germans tried to go to West Germany by way of Czechoslovakia , only to have that government bar them from passing.
Several thousands of them headed straight for the West German embassy in Prague and demanded safe passage to West Germany.
With some reluctance, Honecker allowed them to go — but forced them to go back through East Germany on sealed trains and stripped them of their East German citizenship.
Several members of the SED Politbüro realised this was a serious blunder and made plans to get rid of him. As unrest visibly grew, large numbers began fleeing the country through the West German embassies in Prague and Budapest , as well as over the borders of the "socialist brother" states.
East Germany was now not only behind the Iron Curtain to the West, but also cordoned off from most other Eastern bloc states.
On 6—7 October the national celebrations of the 40th anniversary of the East German state took place with Gorbachev in attendance. Gorby, save us!
As the reform movement spread throughout Central and Eastern Europe, mass demonstrations against the East German government erupted, most prominently in Leipzig —the first of several demonstrations which took place on Monday nights across the country.
In response, an elite paratroop unit was dispatched to Leipzig—almost certainly on Honecker's orders, since he was commander-in-chief of the Army.
A bloodbath was averted only when local party officials themselves ordered the troops to pull back. In the following week, Honecker faced a torrent of criticism.
This gave his Politburo comrades the impetus they needed to replace him. After a crisis meeting of the Politburo on 10—11 October , Honecker's planned state visit to Denmark was cancelled and, despite his resistance, at the insistence of the regime's number-two-man, Egon Krenz , a public statement was issued that called for "suggestions for attractive socialism".
The sitting of the SED Central Committee planned for the end of November was pulled forward a week, with the most urgent item on the agenda now being the composition of the Politburo.
Krenz and Mielke attempted by telephone on the night of 16 October to win other Politburo members over to remove Honecker. At the beginning of the session on 17 October, Honecker asked his routine question of "Are there any suggestions for the agenda?
All those present then spoke, in turn, but none in favour of Honecker. Communist rule in East Germany survived Honecker's removal by only two months.
On 1 December, its guaranteed right to rule was deleted from the East German constitution. Two days later he was expelled from the SED along with other former officials.
During November the People's Chamber had already set up a committee to investigate corruption and abuses of office, with Honecker being alleged to have received annual donations from the National Academy of Architecture of around 20, marks as an "honorary member".
Following the lifting of his house arrest, Honecker and his wife Margot were forced to vacate their apartment in the Waldsiedlung housing area in Wandlitz , exclusively used by senior SED party members, after the People's Chamber decided to put it to use as a sanatorium for the disabled.
The couple then moved into a three-room living quarters within the Soviet military hospital in Beelitz. Following German reunification , prosecutors in Berlin issued a further arrest warrant for Honecker in November on charges that he gave the order to fire on escapees at the Inner German border in and had repeatedly reiterated that command most specifically in On 11 December the Honeckers sought refuge in the Chilean Embassy in Moscow, while also applying for political asylum in the Soviet Union.
Mikhail Gorbachev agreed to the dissolution of the Soviet Union on 25 December and ceded all the powers still vested in it to Russian leader Boris Yeltsin.
Russian authorities had long been keen on expelling Honecker, [] against the wishes of Gorbachev, [] and the new government now demanded that he leave the country or else face deportation.
On 12 May , while under protection in the Chilean embassy in Moscow, Honecker, along with several co-defendants, including Erich Mielke , Willi Stoph , Heinz Kessler , Fritz Streletz and Hans Albrecht, was accused in a page indictment of his part in the "collective manslaughter" of 68 people as they attempted to flee East Germany.
As of 22 April , well over 1, deaths have been discovered mainly through secret East German documentation: "It is still not known for sure how many people died on the inner German border or who they were, as the East German state treated such information as a closely guarded secret.
But numbers have risen steadily since unification, as evidence has been gathered from East German records. Current unofficial estimates put the figure at up to 1, people.
Honecker was surely responsible for the deaths of many of the 1, during his long reign, as can be evidenced from his order that "firearms are to be ruthlessly used" to prevent border crossings.
The charges were approved by the Berlin District Court on 19 October at the opening of the trial. During his minute-long statement to the court on 3 December , Honecker admitted political responsibility for the building of the Berlin Wall and subsequent deaths at the borders, but claimed he was "without juridical, legal or moral guilt".
Making reference to past trials in Germany against communists and socialists such as Karl Marx and August Bebel , he claimed that the legal process against him was politically motivated and a "show trial" against communism.
By the time of the proceedings Honecker was already seriously ill. Honecker lodged a constitutional complaint to the recently created Berlin Constitutional Court, stating that the decision to proceed violated his fundamental right to human dignity, which was an overriding principle in the Constitution of Berlin, above even the state penal system and criminal justice.
The court also refused to commence with the trial related to the indictment of 12 November , and withdrew the second arrest warrant related to these charges.
After a total of days Honecker was released from custody, drawing protests both from victims of the East German regime as well as German political figures.
Honecker flew via Brazil to Santiago , Chile, to reunite with his wife and his daughter Sonja, who lived there with her son Roberto.
Upon his arrival he was greeted by the leaders of the Chilean Communist and Socialist parties. For that I would like to say that our beautiful memories of the German Democratic Republic are testimony of a new and just society.
And we want to always remain loyal to these things". On 29 May , he died of liver cancer at the age of 81 in a terraced house in the La Reina district of Santiago.
Hij scheidde vervolgens van Baumann en trouwde in met Feist. Margot Honecker, die in overleed, zou de rest van Erichs leven aan zijn zijde blijven en in de DDR ook een politieke functie vervullen ze was van tot aan de val van de Berlijnse Muur in minister van Volksonderwijs.
Van tot bezocht Honecker de partijhogeschool in Moskou. Na zijn terugkeer werd hij opgenomen in het Politbureau van de SED. Hij zocht toenadering tot de Bondsrepubliek Duitsland , inspelend op de Ostpolitik van toenmalig kanselier Willy Brandt.
Dit leverde economische voordelen en internationale erkenning van de DDR op. In werd hij tevens voorzitter van de Staatsraad , dat wil zeggen staatshoofd van de DDR.
In dat jaar begon ook de vervolging van kunstenaars. Dit was het eerste openlijke teken van verzet sinds de volksopstand in de DDR van 17 juni Zijn binnenlandse politiek was er een van star vasthouden aan de beginselen van het marxisme-leninisme.
Hij zette hiertoe een repressieapparaat op waarbij de bevolking elkaar bespioneerde en aangaf bij de Stasi , een instantie gebaseerd op de NKVD voorloper van de KGB.
Na de Duitse hereniging bleek hoe diep dit systeem ingreep in het maatschappelijk leven. Na een aanvankelijke openstelling van de Stasi-archieven werd snel besloten tot geheimhouding.
Ondanks dit systeem van repressie groeide de oppositie tegen het regime. In werd een staatsbezoek van Honecker aan de Bondsrepubliek door de grote socialistische broederstaat en bondgenoot Sovjet-Unie uit wantrouwen tegen een mogelijke toenadering nog verhinderd.
In het binnenland nam aan het einde van het verzet grote vormen aan. Door de neutrale houding van het regime tegenover de kerken vestigde zich hier het verzet.
Toen de Hongaren in de zomer van hun grenzen met het Westen openden, kwam er een ware exodus van Oost-Duitsers op gang, die via het geliberaliseerde Hongarije het Westen probeerden te bereiken.
Door het regime beschouwd als betrouwbare vaderlanders gingen ze er tijdens hun vakantie in Hongarije vandoor, door lopend de voor Hongaarse funshoppers richting Wenen opengestelde Hongaars-Oostenrijkse grens over te steken.
De grenswachten hadden van de Hongaarse regering bevel gekregen niet te schieten op deze passanten, die hun identiteitspapieren verbrand hadden.
De Trabanten moesten echter achtergelaten worden: die werden verscheept naar de DDR en weer doorverkocht aan gegadigden op de wachtlijsten.
Oostenrijk stuurde de vluchtelingen direct door richting de Bondsrepubliek. Daartoe waren aan de grens West-Duitse ambtenaren geplaatst om voor registratie te zorgen.
Honecker negeerde de massale Republikflucht van de hoogopgeleide DDR-burgers. Die verspeelden door hun vlucht uit de DDR- dictatuur weliswaar hun bezittingen, maar kregen bij aankomst in de Bondsrepubliek als Duitser automatisch een West-Duits paspoort.
Honecker meldde bij zijn staatsbezoek aan Moskou in dat bij het voortbestaan van de oorzaken de Muur nog 50 of zelfs jaar zou bestaan.
Bij de viering van '40 jaar DDR' in oktober - in aanwezigheid van Sovjetleider Gorbatsjov - gedroeg Honecker zich alsof er niets aan de hand was.
