biography

politics

Landgraf joined the SPD in 1946 and was a member of the Karlsruhe city council from 1953 to 1969 and of the state parliament of Baden-Württemberg from 1966 to 1976 . 1968–72 she was the only woman in the state parliament. Throughout her life she showed great commitment and expertise in charitable and political tasks, fought for social justice and remained humble.

She was active in many clubs: Chairwoman of the mother's recovery organization , 83 years of membership and honorary member of the sports club FSSV Karlsruhe eV , which she built up in 1945 with her father Karl Siebert and where she was a children's gymnast for many years. She also belonged to the free religious community.

The Karlsruher Arbeiterwohlfahrt (AWO) also owes a lot to her. In 1946 she and father Karl were among the new founders of the association. For many years she was chairwoman in Karlsruhe and deputy chairwoman of the Baden district association.

Hanne Landgraf was married to Rolf Landgraf, whom she met at the Postsportverein Karlsruhe.
