Live and act

Annette Gabriele Henriette was the daughter of the lawyer Heinrich von Broecker (the family belonged to the patriciate of Kolberg for several generations ) and his wife Hedwig Maria, née. Moritz. Broecker attended the nine-grade high school in Freiburg im Breisgau . She passed her Abitur in the summer of 1912. She then studied in Freiburg and from the summer semester 1917 in Heidelberg economics . In the latter city , she received her doctorate. phil. Your 50-page dissertation , reviewer Eberhard Gothein, dealt with the topic "Individual and community of religious individualism sociologically and economically considered in three basic types". This was followed by an apprenticeship as a welfare worker and subsequent work in public health care, which in its time was still an “area of ​​medical police regulations”, as she wrote in one of her publications:

“ As recently as 25 years ago, the entire public health system was an area of ​​medical police regulations in which the people only remained an object, while, on the other hand, the youth movement and the naturopathic movement, which come from the popular urge for health and personal hygiene, have no direct contact with medical science. This relationship, and thus the culture of health care in the sense of Simmel, is the responsibility of the health care worker, that is, the task of the woman in health care, the caregiver. Because this relationship is not brought about by dead words, it must really be created in each individual case by intuitively grasping the mentality of the other and the ability of understanding communication. "

In 1929 Broecker took over a full-time lectureship at the "State Welfare School Hellerau". There she was responsible for the "organization of practical work". At the beginning of 1933 she took over responsibility for the “Dresden Social School for Women”. Welfare school of the regional association for Christian women's service in Saxony ”, but in September 1933 she switched to the state-recognized Frankfurt“ Women's School for People's Care ”, which she ran in line with the National Socialist worldview . For example, the headmistress stated about the subject "health management":

“ In the first year of school, public health is the main area of ​​instruction from the racial point of view of heredity and eugenics. The basic conditions for maintaining health and physical fitness are presented with special attention to the areas of responsibility of women and mothers. "

And elsewhere she reported to a doctoral candidate who wrote a paper on welfare schools in the German Reich :

“ A special subject, National Socialist Weltanschauung, introduces the history and structure of the movement. Practical courses, in which the schoolchildren learn to divide up and cook according to the standard rates of the unemployed population or a workers' house, were developed in the sense of nat.soz. Housekeeping led ... Further education and training courses, free time for people's nurses, a crash course for 800 helpers from the winter welfare organization, a course for the heads of the district women’s association, an evening course for officials from the municipal youth welfare office, etc., were held under the direction of the school. "

In her essay New Paths in the Training of Welfare Carers, Broecker stated that in the women's school for people care (welfare school for Hesse-Nassau and Hesse), Frankfurt a. M. the preparation for the profession of welfare worker essentially has to fulfill the following three tasks:

“ Through the subject matter, the pupil should become acquainted with the phenomena of normal folk life. At the same time, this gives her that part of general education that represents an ideology of social work. Building on this, she must get to know the dangers and damage to the national body and the opportunities for social assistance.
Methodically, the future welfare worker should develop the ability to see and think organically.
The community life of the school has to prepare them for service to the people. "

After 1945 Broecker had to leave the Frankfurt training center because she was a member of the NSDAP. But a few years later she was teaching there again as a part-time teacher. Broecker spent the last years of her life in the "Altkönigsstift" in Kronberg.
