Elise Ekke (born October 14, 1877 in Krotoschin , Posen , † December 3, 1957 in Kiel ) was a German politician (DDP).

Life

Elise Ekke attended the Luisenschule and the teachers' seminar in Poznan in her youth. From 1899 she attended lectures at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität in Berlin as a guest student . Later she attended the Academy on Poznan. From 1900 to 1905 Ekke taught as a teacher at an elementary school, then from 1905 to at least 1919 at a municipal middle school in Poznan. In 1914 Ekke went on a study trip to England. Politically she did not excel in the empire.

After the First World War , Ekke joined the German Democratic Party (DDP). In January 1919 she was elected as a DDP candidate for constituency 8 (Posen) in the Weimar National Assembly, of which she was a member until the first Reichstag of the Weimar Republic met in July 1920. Since then she has hardly been noticed in public. In the journal Die Brücke of February 21, 1920, there is another article by Ekkes entitled Das Deutschtum in Polen. How do we organize ourselves? which suggests that she belonged to the German minority in Poland for the years after 1920 . The next piece of information that can be found about her person is the determination of her death in Kiel in December 1957.
