After 1933, apart from a brief arrest by the Gestapo, she apparently remained unmolested and contributed to the family's livelihood as a commercial agent.

Bombed out and forcibly evacuated in January 1945, she returned to Schleswig-Holstein via a refugee camp in the Lüneburg Heath to work again as a women's secretary. This appointment was made on the initiative of Louise Schroeder.

She belonged to the German Bundestag in its first legislative period from 1949 to 1953 as a directly elected member of the Pinneberg constituency . During this time she was elected to the parliamentary group executive committee and the federal party executive committee of the SPD. As an expert on refugee and displaced persons problems, she represented her parliamentary group in the relevant committees, headed the control committee for emergency aid and was the only woman on the mediation committee between the Bundestag and Bundesrat .

From his first marriage, Krahnstöver had two daughters who were born in 1928 and 1930 respectively. After her divorce, she married the SPD politician Wilhelm Mellies in 1953 . After leaving parliament, she continued to work in the women's committee of the SPD and in the workers' welfare organization.
