Life

Angela Stratmann grew up in Neuss, where she initially worked as a teacher. In 1923 she married the politician Max Braun , with whom she moved to Saarbrücken in November of the same year. Together, the two were committed to the SPD, Braun-Stratmann was also one of the first women's rights activists in the Saar. In 1924 they both co-founded the Saarland workers' welfare organization , which Braun-Stratmann took over from 1925 to 1935. Together with her husband she got involved in the voting campaign for the Saar area . After the failure of her request to prevent affiliation with the German Reich , she emigrated with Braun to France , where both supported the united front of the emigrants against the Nazi regime . In 1936 in Paris, Braun-Stratmann worked in the Office pour les Refugiés Sarrois . This advisory office provided Saar refugees with work permits for France.

In the course of her internationally known engagement against the German Reich, her German citizenship was revoked .

In 1940, at the beginning of the western campaign , Braun-Stratmann and her husband fled to London . After the death of her husband in 1945, she returned to Saarland alone. Between May and September 1947 she was the only female member of the Saarland Constitutional Commission , which drafted the Saarland constitution. From 1947 to 1952 she was a member of the first Saarland state parliament . She then worked as a journalist for the women's magazine "Charme". After the vote on October 23, 1955 and the annexation to the Federal Republic of Germany , she left the Saarland and lived in France until her death. In 1957, when Max-Braun-Strasse in the Saarbrücken district of St. Johann , named after her husband, was renamed again after ten years as Großherzog-Friedrich-Strasse, she had his urn moved from Saarbrücken to Neuss in the Braun family crypt in protest.

In 1996 a street in Malstatt was renamed Angela-Braun-Straße. A youth education center in Ludweiler was also named after her.
