Kristina Hänel

Kristina Gisela Hänel (born August 5, 1956 ) is a German doctor in general medicine and emergency medicine. In 2018, she won the Clara Zetkin women's award. In 2019, she won the Anne Klein Women's Prize.

She was practicing in Gießen and gained national fame, when she was charged with advertising for the termination of pregnancy ( Section 219a of the Criminal Code ) and fined.  She appealed to the higher court, and in July 2019 (Az .: 1 Ss 15/19) , the conviction was referred back to the Gießen district court, which has to renegotiate the case with a view to the amendment to Section 219a of the Criminal Code passed in March 2019.
