Anna Schlueter
Anna Schlueter (born April 27, 1886 in Northeim as Anna Rausch ; † July 30, 1971 in Anderten ) was a German local politician (SPD). From 1919 to 1922 she was mayor in the Northeim City Council.
Live and act
After women in Germany had been given the right to vote in 1918 and thus became eligible for election, Anna Schlueter ran for the SPD in 1919 and on November 27, 1919 became the first “left” woman in Northeim's city council. With her, Ottilie Gelpke came into office as another woman. In 1921 the board of directors named Annastraße and Ottilienstraße, not far from the Northeim train station between Göttinger Straße and Güterbahnhofstraße. With this, the city honored the first active women after the introduction of women's suffrage.
In 1922 Anna's husband was transferred to Kreiensen . This meant that the trained seamstress Anna had to resign prematurely at the end of March 1922.
In 1933 the streets were renamed because they were politically unsustainable. On April 13, 1933, Annastraße became Elsbeth-Zander-Straße, named after Elsbeth Zander (1888–1963), the founder of the German Order of Women . After 1945, the name change was reversed and maintained until today.
In 1971 Anna Schlüter died at the age of 85. The opera singer Gerd Nienstedt was Anna Schlüter's grandson.
