from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hedwig Kurt , b. Hedwig Helene Söll (born November 15, 1877 in Dresden , † March 22, 1951 in Flensburg ) was a German politician (SPD).

Hedwig Kurt was born as Hedwig Söll in 1877. Her father Christoph Carl Wilhelm Söll was a bricklayer, her mother Amalie Therese, nee. Helmich, was a worker.

After attending primary school in Dresden, she earned her living as a hat worker (straw hat seamstress). She took the surname Kurt after her marriage to the stonemason Heinrich Richard Kurt on October 25, 1898 in Löbtau. The marriage ended in divorce in 1922.

From 1919 to 1920 Kurt was a city councilor in Dresden.

In April 1919 Kurt entered the Weimar National Assembly as a replacement for the resigned MP Georg Gradnauer , to which she was a member until the first Reichstag of the Weimar Republic met in June 1920 as a representative of constituency 28 (Saxony 1-9).
