Catharina Lange
Catharina (Käthe) Lange (* July 7, 1900 ; † September 2, 1982 ) was a politician of the FDP and a member of the Hamburg citizenship .
Life
Catharina Lange was the chairwoman of the Hamburg women's committee. It was this committee that put them up for the 1946 state election. However, the candidacy only came about because the actually appointed politician Harriet Wegener renounced the candidacy. Catharina Lange was therefore a member of the first democratically elected citizenship in Hamburg after the Second World War . She took over the office of vice-president for the FDP in the citizenry.
During her time in the citizenry she occupied the masses who fled to the Hanseatic city or wanted to return after the end of the war. For example, she warned in the British occupation newspaper Die Welt (later Axel Springer Verlag ): “You couldn't just call the ' Butenhamburger ' back and send the refugees on, sick and miserable as they were.” On the other hand, she demanded in the citizenry, that women should get equal pay for equal work. That would be particularly important for families in need, because they would depend on the woman's salary.
To state election in 1949 it has not raced for more. She had stumbled over an intrigue within the party and lost the support she would have needed to run again. During her time as a member of the citizenship she was entered in the parliamentary files under the profession “housewife”.
