Gaertner began her political career in the 1960s as a local politician. In the 1970s she worked on the psychiatry reform and in 1982 she became state councilor at the Rhineland Regional Council . From March 25, 1992 to February 28, 1994 and from March 16, 1994 to July 4, 1995, she was Senator for Health, Youth and Social Affairs in the Senate of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen, led by Mayor Klaus Wedemeier . Due to an irregularity that the Bremen State Court found - her election as Senator in March 1992 was invalid because of her main residence outside of Germany (in Kassel ) - Sabine Uhl took over her government office in the meantime. During her tenure as Senator for Health, Gaertner was responsible for overseeing the methadone program for drug addicts in the Hanseatic city.
