Political party

Hilde Mattheis joined the SPD in 1986 and was particularly involved in the Working Group of Social Democratic Women (ASF). From 1992 to 1996 she was chairwoman of the ARSP district association in Ulm . In addition, she was a member of the ARSP regional executive committee in Baden-Württemberg from 1993 to 2007, from 1995 as deputy chairwoman and from 1999 as chairwoman.

From 1995 to 2018 Mattheis was a member of the state executive committee of the SPD Baden-Württemberg , from 1997 as deputy chairwoman. She was also chairwoman of the SPD district association in Ulm from 2000 to 2005 and was a member of the SPD party executive from 2005 to 2013 .

In 2009, Mattheis was, alongside Nils Schmid and Claus Schmiedel, one of three candidates to succeed Ute Vogt as chairwoman of the SPD state association in Baden-Württemberg. To this end, a member survey was carried out in the SPD Baden-Württemberg on November 21, 2009. With a turnout of 47.35%, Hilde Mattheis received 37% in the second count, taking into account the second votes, compared to 56% for Nils Schmid. In the first vote, 46.2% of the votes went to Nils Schmid, 29.1% to Hilde Mattheis and 22.8% to Claus Schmiedel. Nils Schmid was then elected chairman of the state at the state party conference of the SPD in Karlsruhe on November 27, 2009 with 265 out of 299 votes from the delegates (88.63%). Hilde Mattheis was confirmed as one of the four deputies with 58.47% of the votes.

Since November 28, 2011, as the successor to Björn Böhning, she has been chairwoman of the Forum Democratic Left 21 (DL 21), a left-wing organization within the SPD. In addition, she is a co-founder and member of the spokesperson for its Baden-Württemberg regional group. A press release from her on the minimum wage law ("Exceptions to the minimum wage are unsocial") led in July 2014 to a wave of prominent members leaving the DL 21, above all the then Federal Labor Minister and former DL-21 founder Andrea Nahles (who was jointly responsible for the minimum wage law) who attested the forum under Mattheis' leadership a fundamentally oppositional stance. This was seen in the press as a split in the SPD left, along with a loss of importance for DL ​​21.

After the state elections in Hesse in 2018, Mattheis pleaded for the abolition of the Hartz reforms: “With them we have said goodbye to our identity as a party of social justice. [...] That was a big mistake and you have to call it that. "
