Else Fisch (born November 28, 1876 in Brandenburg an der Havel , † after 1950) was a liberal politician and co-founder of the Federal Association of Reich Post and Telegraph Officials . She was active as a city ​​councilor in Brandenburg / Havel and was a member of the Prussian state parliament for a short time from October 1924 .

Live and act

Else Fisch was born on November 28, 1876 in Brandenburg / Havel. Her parents were the miller Robert Fisch (1840–1903) and his wife Luise Auguste Grentz (1838–?). Her father, who came from a Silesian miller's family, was no longer able to practice the profession he had learned after being seriously wounded in the war; From 1877 he ran the new municipal coffee shop on the Marienberg in Brandenburg / Havel and also acted for many years as a monument caretaker for the war memorial that was inaugurated there in 1879 . Else Fisch completed an apprenticeship as a telegraph secretary. In 1912, together with Else Kolshorn, she was one of the founders of the Federal Association of Reich Post and Telegraph Officials, where she was active until its dissolution in May 1933. In 1914 she became the second chairwoman of the association and in 1928 she was the editor of the association magazine Unter dem Reichsadler .

From 1910 Else Fisch worked in the Bund Deutscher Frauenvereine , including on the board of the Brandenburg / Havel local group. In 1918 she joined the German Democratic Party (DDP), for which she ran for election to the constituent national assembly in 1919 as the only woman in her party in constituency 4, which also included Potsdam . However, she could not win a mandate. Instead, she was active in the city ​​council of Brandenburg / Havel from 1919 to 1924 . As a successor, she had been a member of the first Prussian state parliament for a few months from October 1924, alongside the student teacher Mathilde Drees . However, she did not join the parliamentary group of the DDP until the end of the session and was a member of it until the end of the legislative period in December 1924.

In 1923, Fisch was the first woman to be accepted into the Reich Disciplinary Court for civil servants. In addition to questions that specifically concerned women, she dealt with tax issues and civil service law. From March 22 to 24, 1925, she took part in the “First Public Conference for the Physical Education of Women” in Berlin , where she was one of several speakers alongside Gertrud Bäumer . Her lecture topic was: "Physical education and professional work". On May 19, 1925, at the 14th Association Day of the Association of German Reich Post and Telegraph Officers, she gave a lecture entitled "On women's occupational hygiene", which was published by the association as a 24-page printed work in an edition of several thousand in the following year .

Fisch was a member of the DDP party committee for seven years. In 1928 she ran for the Reichstag in second place behind Prof. Georg Bernhard on the DDP nomination list, but was not elected. After that she lived in Berlin and was involved in the German State Party , as the DDP was called after it merged with the Volksnationalen Reichsvereinigung in 1930. Again she was run for the Reichstag election, but received too few votes. On June 28, 1933, the German State Party disbanded. It is unclear whether Fisch continued to be politically active afterwards.

Else Fisch died after 1950. Her exact date of death and her burial place are not known.
