Katharina "Käte" Staudinger (born October 20, 1908 in Cologne ) was a German tapestry artist and member of the Hamburg parliament for the Hamburg block and for the CDU .

Act

Käte Staudinger, who had also studied theater studies, founded a Catholic-nationalist stage people association in Bonn in 1932 , which had existed across the Reich since the beginning of the 1920s. In 1933 it was banned by the National Socialists . Just like the Center Party to which she belonged. In 1942 Käte Staudinger was arrested twice in Weimar for political reasons.

In 1941 she moved to Hamburg, where she became a member of the CDU in 1947. She married a doctor. In 1953 she founded the association for the promotion of research into spinal polio , of which she was also chairman. For her party, she was a member of the Hamburg-Nord district committee from 1949 to 1953 , to which she had been elected on the list of the electoral alliance of the Father City Association of Hamburg , and later a deputy to the cultural authority.

From 1953 to 1957 she moved into the Hamburg citizenship for the Hamburg block . For the CDU, Käte Staudinger continued her work in parliament until 1970. From 1957 she was also secretary of the citizenship. The main focus of her political activity in Parliament was on health and, above all, on cultural policy. In March 1960, in the budget discussions on the cultural budget, she spoke out in favor of merging the Deutsches Schauspielhaus with the Hamburger Kammerspiele because the Schauspielhaus lacks a stage for smaller performances, but the Kammerspiele, directed by Ida Ehre , suffered from a lack of staff. In June 1968 she criticized the designated artistic director of the Deutsches Schauspielhaus Egon Monk in a debate in the Hamburg citizenship for his statements in a leaflet about the political demonstration against the emergency laws , which led to the abandonment of a performance in May 1968, and asked whether Monk is still the right one for the director's office.

Her estate is in the Hamburg State Archives .
