Aline Furtmüller

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aline Furtmüller (born October 20, 1883 in Vienna , † December 1941 in New York City ) was an Austrian politician of the Social Democratic Workers' Party SDAP.

Life

Aline Furtmüller was born as the daughter of the revolutionary Samuel Klatschko (also: Klačko, Klacko, Klatchko) († 1914), who fled from Russia around 1880, and his wife Anna, who was born in Vienna on October 20, 1883, was born Lwoff. She studied French. After her doctorate in 1908, she took up the teaching profession, which she was only able to practice after the collapse of the Danube monarchy .

From 1904 to 1909 she was busy building up the local branch of the “Free School Association” in Kladno in Central Bohemia . For an unspecified period of time, she worked as a teacher at the Black Forest School in Vienna.

Between 1919 and 1934 Aline Furtmüller - she had married the grammar school teacher Carl Furtmüller (1880–1951) in 1904 - was a member of the Vienna State Parliament and City Council . She was involved in the educational movement and was chairman of the social democratic women's organization in Vienna- Landstrasse . Otto Bauer , Alfred Adler , Max Adler , Leopoldine and Otto Glöckel were regular guests at the political discussions to which the couple regularly invited .

After the events of spring 1934 , the Furtmullers were first imprisoned and then released without notice.

In either 1938 or 1939 the two emigrated to Paris. The information that Aline Furtmüller was taking care of the children of the imprisoned Käthe Leichter and was financially supported by the socialist workers' aid SAH would be appropriate for 1939 as the time of emigration . In Paris they were members of the “Circle of Austrian Socialists” in the diplomatic mission of the Austrian Socialists.

In the summer of 1940 they first fled to southern France and were later arrested for illegally crossing the border to Spain and imprisoned there for several months. After their release, they were able to continue their journey to New York , where Aline Furtmüller died of leukemia after arriving at the end of December 1941 .

Commemoration

In 1949 a community building erected before the Second World War in Ziegelofengasse 12-14 in Vienna- Margareten was renamed “Aline-Furtmüller-Hof”. After the death of her husband Carl, the name of the residential complex was changed to "Furtmüllerhof".
