Hanna Elmire Flora Bieber-Boehm (born February 6, 1851 in Jakunowen , East Prussia ; † April 15, 1910 in Berlin ) - also Hanna Elmire Flora Bieber-Boehm - was a German women's rights activist, representative of the bourgeois women's movement and a pioneer of social work .

Life

Hanna Bieber-Böhm was the oldest of seven sisters, so that she had to raise her sisters with her after her mother's death. She studied from 1870 to 1873 at the art school in Munich and Berlin. In 1888 she married the Jewish lawyer Richard Bieber, who was seven years her junior in Berlin. The marriage remained childless. After her marriage, she devoted herself to social welfare in Berlin . She was particularly interested in the question of morality.

She founded with her husband 1888/89 the morality club youth protection , which for the rescue " fallen girls " and "seduced men" committed and against state regulation of "immorality" ( prostitution occurred). In doing so, she pursued goals similar to those of abolitionists like Anita Augspurg , but overall she took a much more conservative line. In their view, prostitution was mainly caused by a lack of morality. She called for the prostitutes and their customers to be punished. Underage prostitutes should be reformed in educational institutions.

One of Bieber-Böhm's merits is that she made prostitution an issue in the women's movement, even though the issue was considered "dirty". She also founded several kindergartens .

Bieber-Böhm was a member of the first board of the Federation of German Women's Associations (BDF). As a member of the legal commission of the BDF, she was jointly responsible for a petition as part of the revision of the draft of the civil code . In it the BDF demanded

  • the introduction of the separation of property in marriage, so that the wives could decide for themselves in the future about the property brought into the marriage
  • the equality of the mother with the father in the exercise of parental authority
  • the betterment of illegitimate children.

As the publisher of the Frauen-Landsturm leaflet in June 1896, she supported the protests against the draft law on family law.

In 1902 she bought the converted winegrower's house on the Priorsberg in Neuzelle an der Oder (Niederlausitz) from her father's inheritance and set up a holiday home. This is a boarding school today.
