Christina Klausmann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christina Klausmann (born December 7, 1957 in Freiburg im Breisgau ; † October 21, 2008 in Stuttgart ) was a German historian , publicist and curator with a focus on gender relations and the culture of the women's movement in Germany.

Live and act

Klausmann studied history and German at the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg . The central theme of her academic work was historical women's studies . In 1995, Klausmann became the women's movement in the empire with a dissertation on politics and culture. The example of Frankfurt am Main by Dieter Langewiesche is doing his doctorate at the University of Tübingen . Klausmann's local social history study was carried out as part of the project Morality and Voting Rights - On the Politics and Culture of the Women's Movement at the Turn of the Century , funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) , under the direction of Ute Gerhard at the Sociology Department of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main , in Cooperation with Ulla Wischermann .

Using the collective biographical approach of historical network research, Klausmann's work provides a differentiated picture of personal connections in the Frankfurt women's movement around 1900. It dealt with active Frankfurt clubs and organizations, such as the local branch of the General German Women's Association (ADF).

In addition, she followed the program development of the local branch of the “Association for Women's Education and Women's Studies” founded in 1898 by Elisabeth Winterhalter , the first Frankfurt gynecologist, until around the beginning of the First World War . In an “approach to a collective biography”, the study also shows individual leading actors, including the cousins Anna Edinger (1863–1929) and Bertha Pappenheim (1859–1936), in their mediation functions between the local, national and international women's movement. Klausmann also relates the forms of organization and representation of the first women's movement and their strategies to mobilize supporters to the peculiarities of the historical urban public: a relatively large proportion of the activists came from the liberal Jewish bourgeoisie with close organizational and personal ties to the social reformist circles . This urban elite, to which the social politician and publicist Henriette Fürth (1861-1938) belonged, supported the establishment of an independent institutional social welfare system for women in need (including a legal protection office for women, facilities for girls and single mothers), especially for workers and their families Familys. Klausmann pointed out that the principle of self-organization independent of male influence was also fundamental to the new women's movement.

From 1991 to 2004 Christina Klausmann was co-editor and editor of Feminist Studies , after which she was a member of the scientific advisory board of the periodical.

Due to her dissertation and other research and publications, for example on the Darmstadt women's rights activist, publicist and philosopher Louise Dittmar (1807–1884), Klausmann was considered an expert on the history of the German women's movement .

Curatorial work

As a research assistant, she was involved in the conception and processing of museum exhibitions, such as the exhibitions “Slave or Citizen? French Revolution and New Femininity 1760–1830 ”in the Historical Museum Frankfurt am Main 1989 and“ 1848 - Departure to Freedom ”in the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt 1998. Klausmann then worked as a research assistant at the House of History Baden-Württemberg in Stuttgart , among other things responsible for the permanent exhibition of the house “Landesgeschichte (n). The German Southwest from 1790 until today ”.
