Anna Zammert
Anna Zammert (nee Rabe ; * July 12, 1898 in Delitzsch ; † December 13, 1982 ibid) was a German politician ( SPD ) and union official .
Life
After attending elementary school, she worked in lignite and road construction. In 1917 she joined the USPD . From 1918 she worked in a Bitterfeld chemical plant and became a member of the Factory Workers' Association (FAV). In 1922 she joined the SPD. She performed numerous voluntary functions in youth welfare and in the workers' welfare organization (AWO). In 1925/26 she studied at the Academy of Labor in Frankfurt am Main , where she married the printer Paul Zammert. In 1927 she was commissioned by the FAV board to set up a workers' secretariat at the FAV headquarters in Hanover . From 1927 to 1933 she was the first full-time women's secretary for an individual trade union in Germany. From 1930 to 1933 she was a member of the Reichstag .
In 1933 she was imprisoned twice for her political activities. In 1935 she and her husband had to flee from the Gestapo to Denmark because of “continuing the social democratic party work” . In 1936 she emigrated to Norway , and in 1940 finally to Sweden . From 1943 to 1945 she was a board member of the national group of German trade unionists in Sweden.
After the end of the war she returned to Germany in 1946 and played an important role in the re-establishment of the Arbeiterwohlfahrt in Hanover. Nevertheless, she did not succeed in gaining a professional foothold in the Federal Republic of Germany, so she returned to Sweden in the summer of 1953, where she lived until 1975. In Stockholm , Zammert worked for the Swedish Factory Workers' Association, among others. She only returned to her daughter in Delitzsch in 1975, where she died in 1982.
