Jeanne Trimborn

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jeanne Trimborn (née Mali ) (born February 12, 1862 in Verviers / Belgium ; † August 2, 1919 in Unkel ) was a leading figure in the Catholic women's movement before the First World War.

Life

She was the daughter of a Belgian cloth manufacturer from Verviers. In 1880 she married the German lawyer and central politician Karl Trimborn .

In 1898 she began to work as a housewife and mother in the Catholic community . For many years she was a member of the Central Committee (Board of Directors) of the Catholic Women's Association until shortly before her death . Out of concern for the recognition of the Catholic women's association by conservative circles and the clergy, she pleaded for close adherence to "orthodoxy" and for an emphasis on the traditional image of women. Within the women's association she headed the commission for charitable endeavors.

Her main interest was the protection of girls. She was therefore chairwoman of the Association of Catholic Girls' Protection Associations. She was also the chairwoman of the Association of Catholic Business Assistants and Civil Servants in Germany.
