Life

After Frauke Martin had graduated from secondary school in her hometown of Flensburg in 1961, she worked as an employee in the telephone service (hand) of the telecommunications office Hamburg 1 . She then studied from 1971 to 1974 at the University of Economics and Politics and graduated as a social economist . She then went on to study urban sociology at the University of Hamburg , which she completed in 1981 with a degree in sociology . From the following year she worked as a research assistant at the University of Economics and Politics. In 1984 she began to work for the “Foundation for Vocational Education - Unemployment Education”, which the Hamburg Senate and the citizenship had established in order to qualify and integrate unemployed people who are difficult to place. Martin later became Head of Human Resources at the Vocational Training Foundation. She has two children and has been divorced since 1983.

Political career

From 1965 Martin was a member of the German Postal Union (from 1982 ÖTV ). In 1969 she joined the SPD. She worked in the Working Group of Social Democratic Women (AsF) and was AsF chairman in Hamburg-Nord when she ran for the state election in Hamburg in 1974 .

In April 1974 she became a member of the 8th Hamburg Parliament . Her political work focused on equal rights for women, social policy, building policy and finance. Among other things, she successfully campaigned for the establishment of an equality office, the receipt of the breastfeeding bonus, a separate budget title for women's shelters and the financing of the Hamburg Women's Week. In June 1977, together with Wulf Damkowski , Jan Ehlers , Bodo Fischer , Harro Frank , Hans-Jürgen Grambow , Helga von Hoffmann , Lothar Reinhard , Ortwin Runde and Bodo Schümann, she belonged to a group of ten SPD members of the Bundestag who, in connection with the Exclusion of the Juso chairman Klaus Uwe Benneter in a letter to the party chairman Willy Brandt demanded that this prevent party regulatory proceedings against 56 Hamburg SPD members who had shown solidarity with Benneter.

After more than twelve years of parliamentary activity, Martin resigned from the Hamburg parliament in 1986. The reason she cited was the incompatibility with her professional activity, which she was now dependent on as a single parent, especially since the citizenship was still an after-work parliament at that time . Even after that, she continued to be politically active, and until 1994 she was a member of the SPD district executive in the Harburg district and then the SPD state executive .

Martin later moved to Ellerau in Schleswig-Holstein. Most recently she ran there in the local elections in 2008 as a SPD direct candidate in constituency V, but was not elected to the municipal council.
