history
Christl-Marie Schultes grew up in Oberenzenau near Bad Heilbrunn . Under the pretext of attending a cooking class, she traveled to Berlin to take flight lessons. In 1928 she became the first Bavarian female pilot and in 1929 bought her first airplane, the "Bad Tölz". In 1930 it crashed with it in the Fichtel Mountains . In May 1931, she lost her left leg in a crash at the beginning of a planned world flight near Passau. In 1933 she founded the " Deutsche Flugillustrierte " in Berlin . From 1934, Christl-Marie Schultes came into the focus of the NSDAP due to her convictions. She was expropriated by the "Nazis" because she stood by her Jewish fiancé. In 1934 she emigrated to Switzerland, from 1936 she stayed in Spain, Portugal and France. There she was interned in 1941 for her commitment to the persecuted and deported to the Ravensbrück concentration camp . The surprise release was followed by another arrest in 1944, this time for "statements that degrade the military force". She only escaped execution in Stadelheim when the Americans invaded on May 1, 1945. After the war, she continued to do humanitarian work.
