List of women (Germany)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A women's list is an electoral list that is drawn up by women's parties or groups and typically only contains female candidates.

Weimar Republic

After the German national Reichstag deputy Anna von Gierke for parliamentary elections in 1920 was not set up more of their party, they ran on a woman's list for the parliament to be elected without however.

During the time of the Weimar Republic , the question of a candidacy from pure (Catholic, central ) women's lists was discussed in the Catholic German Women 's Association. In at least one case, the project was put into practice. In Ludwigshafen am Rhein , a list of Catholic women ran for local elections in 1929 and won a seat on the city council (Anna Weltin).

In the local elections in Stuttgart in 1932 a list of women from Greater Stuttgart , in which bourgeois women from various political groups had come together, ran. However, they could not win a mandate .

SBZ

In 1945, women's committees (FA) were approved in the Soviet Zone . These ran for local elections in 1946 in some municipalities. In the semi-free state elections in the Soviet Zone in 1946 , a women's list of the FA was only drawn up in Saxony, which with 0.6% of the votes did not win a seat.

Feminist Party Women

The women's lists of the Feminist Party Women only won mandates at the local level. At a higher level, the best result was a vote share of 0.6% in the 2004 European elections in Germany .

Local women lists

There are local lists of women in Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Brandenburg and Saxony. The aim of the municipal women's lists is to increase the proportion of women in the municipal bodies.

In the local elections in Baden-Württemberg on June 7th, 2009 , 34 women lists in local council elections and one women list in district elections. Of the 612 applicants on the municipal council lists, 82 were elected. Of the 34 women lists in Baden-Württemberg, 20 women lists are active in the umbrella organization Frauenlisten Baden-Württemberg eV. Susanne Berger has been president of the umbrella organization since May 2011. In the district of Biberach in Baden-Württemberg there has been a women's list since 1999, which has three members in the district council.

State elections

In the state elections in Bremen in 1995 , a Bremen women list (short name women ) entered the Bremen electoral area. With 0.4% one missed the entry into the citizenry.

The woman List Bayern eV stepped state election in Bavaria in 2013 in two of the seven constituencies. It achieved 0.6% of the vote in Swabia and Upper Franconia; this corresponds to 0.1% of the votes in all of Bavaria.
