Gertraud Wolf

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gertraud Wolf (born August 22, 1889 in Dresden ; date of death unknown ) was a German economist and politician ( BMP , DVP ). During the Weimar Republic , she was a member of the Bavarian State Parliament from 1920 to 1924 and from 1930 to 1932.

Life and politics

Wolf was a landowner and lived in Abertshausen near Obersöchering . She received her doctorate in economics in 1915 and published some papers on women in working life by 1921. In the Bavarian state elections on June 6, 1920, she ran successfully for the Bavarian Middle Party (BMP) in the district of Berchtesgaden-Lauf, Traunstein-Prien, Munich III, IV, IX, X, Landsberg-Schongau, Starnberg-Weilheim, Garmisch / Upper Bavaria . Working women were also of particular concern to Wolf in the state parliament, where, among other things, she demanded equal wages for equal work. During this electoral term, she was a member of the committee to investigate the allegation against organs of the Munich Police Department for organizing the violent elimination of people .

With Elsa Matz , Wolf took part in a congress of the International Alliance of Women (IAW, World Federation for Women's Suffrage ) in Paris in 1926 . Participation was overshadowed by a dispute with liberal participants about the mistakenly hoisted flag of the German Empire.

Wolf moved into the state parliament for the German People's Party a second time on January 29, 1930, as the successor to the retired Eduard Nortz . There she campaigned for girls' schools and youth protection against tobacco and alcohol. In a 1928 article she called for “more milk”.

The date of her death is unknown.
