Biography

Sardina was born and raised in Hamburg, Germany.[1] His father moved from Sicily, Italy, to Germany in the 1960s; his mother is from Hamburg. He received his Staatsexamen from the University of Hamburg in 2002.[2] In 2016, he received a Dr. phil. degree with a dissertation on the history of foreign language teaching in the Soviet occupation zone (SBZ) and East Germany (DDR) from 1945 to 1989.

Sardina works as a lecturer, translator, and consultant, mainly in Berlin, Germany.[2]

Political career

Sardina joined the Christian Democratic Union of Germany (CDU), in 1994. His first public office was as a member of the board of the ministry of education (Behörde für Schule, Jugend und Berufsbildung) in Hamburg from 1997 to 2002.[3] In 2001, he became a member of the board of the ministry of environment and health (Behörde für Umwelt und Gesundheit).[4] From 2001 to 2004, Sardina was the party secretary (whip) of the CDU parliamentary group in the regional assembly (Bezirksversammlung) of the district of Hamburg-Mitte. After the 2004 general elections, his party held the majority of seats and thus he became chairman of the regional assembly.[1]

From 2005 to 2008, Sardina was a member of the Hamburg Parliament, the Hamburgische Bürgerschaft.[5][6] He also served as the spokesman of the CDU fraction for Asian affairs[2] and as a member of the board of directors of the "Asien-Brücke" (literally: Asia bridge), a Senate-run foundation focusing on development aid to Sri Lanka.[7]
