from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Frida Luisa Stolzenbach b. Erbe (born June 7, 1901 in Teveren , † January 16, 1975 in Berlin ) was a German functionary of the Eastern CDU , member of the state parliament and member of the GDR regional chamber .

Life

As the daughter of a chief customs secretary in Witzenhausen , she married pastor Georg Rudolf Karl Wilhelm Stolzenbach (1895–1949) there in 1922, with whom she had four children. When after 1933 the fascist demagoguery also spread to the churches, she and her husband joined the Confessing Church . House searches and interrogations by the Gestapo followed . From 1937 on, her husband worked as a parish priest at the Magdeburg Pauluskirche . After he was arrested, she took over the community work. During the Second World War , she experienced the nights of bombing in Magdeburg, was bombed out and, with her children, got to know the subtenant life of those years. After the war she worked on rebuilding the parish and on the social committee of the city administration. In 1945 it was part of the founding assembly that called the CDU into being in Magdeburg .

She did not stand for the state election in the province of Saxony in 1946 , but nevertheless moved up to the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt on April 8, 1949. The background was that the previous CDU member August Jung had to resign from the state parliament under pressure from the SED . As part of the alignment of the state parliament, the regulation had been introduced that the successor should be determined by the signatories of the election proposal at the time. On April 8, 1949, Frida Stolzenbach became a member of the state parliament through this regulation.

In the state elections in the GDR in 1950 , she received a mandate in the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt and was elected to the provisional chamber of the GDR as representative of the state of Saxony-Anhalt at the state parliament session on February 25, 1950.

Since at least 1951 she was involved in the “ German Peace Committee ” and, as the predecessor of Walter Bredendiek, was responsible for the “Christian Working Group for Peace”. During this time, most of the theological working groups in the GDR countries were transformed into “Christian working groups for peace”, which delegated representatives to the central working group. Political and organizational coordination was carried out from a Berlin office headed by Frida Stolzenbach.

She took part in the 1st All-Christian Peace Assembly (ACFV) in 1961 and in the II. ACFV in 1964 in Prague .

At least around 1950 she lived in Magdeburg, probably at the address Gerhart-Hauptmann-Strasse 64. In 1950, she stated that her profession was housewife .

Frida Stolzenbach was a member of the main board of the CDU from October 1952 (6th party congress) to September 1954 (7th party congress). From February 1956 to February 1960 she was chairwoman of the CDU local group Berlin-Niederschöneweide and from May 1958 to July 1962 chairwoman of the CDU district association Berlin-Treptow . She later worked as a member of the women's commission on the presidium of the main board of the CDU.

Frida Stolzenbach died in Berlin at the age of 73 and was buried in the Westfriedhof in Magdeburg .
