Ryneck was born as the daughter of a bricklayer and the well-known social democrat and women's rights activist Pauline Staegemann (1838–1909). From 1879 to 1886 she attended elementary school in Berlin. Then she was trained at the advanced training school and at the workers' training school in Berlin. She then worked as a seamstress until she got married. On April 23, 1898 she married the proofreader Emil Ryneck (Rynneck, 1871-1932), who worked as an employee at the Berlin publishing house of Vorwärts . The marriage resulted in the son Erich Ryneck (1899–1976), the father of the later President of the Federal Constitutional Court Jutta Limbach .

In 1890 Staegemann joined the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD). In 1912 she became a representative of the Social Democratic Women in the district executive of the Social Democratic electoral association Teltow-Beestow-Storkow-Charlottenburg. In addition, she was active in various branches of the poor and welfare. She was involved in war welfare from 1914 to 1918 and during the Weimar Republic did an honorary job in youth and welfare work in the Treptow district . As a delegate, she took part in the SPD conferences in Jena and Würzburg as well as in various women's conferences. In 1919 Ryneck was one of the first women to be elected to the SPD party executive.

From January 1919 to June 1920 she was a member of the Weimar National Assembly as a representative of her party for constituency 5 (Potsdam 10) . In the first Reichstag elections of the Weimar Republic in June 1920 , she was elected to the Reichstag for constituency 3 (Potsdam II) , to which she belonged until May 1924. From 1924 to 1933 Ryneck was a member of the Prussian state parliament , and from 1930 to 1933 as chairwoman of the social policy committee. In addition, she was the second chairwoman or secretary chairwoman of the Arbeiterwohlfahrt founded by her and Marie Juchacz in 1919 .

After the National Socialists came to power, the Ryneck couple became unemployed and withdrew from public life, but were able to earn a living with the help of their son's income.

After 1945 Ryneck took part in the reconstruction of the SPD in Berlin. She took part in the 40th congress of the Social Democratic Party of Germany, was elected to the presidium and approved the merging of the SPD and KPD .
