history

The first rural women's association was founded in East Prussia in 1898 by Elisabet Boehm to offer further training opportunities for women in rural areas. This resulted in a Reich Association in 1916, the first chairman of which was Boehm. In 1916 , Princess Therese zu Hohenlohe-Waldenburg founded the first agricultural housewives' association in Öhringen in the south-west of Germany . In 1933 the agricultural housewives' associations were dissolved and incorporated into the Reichsnährstand .

The rural women’s association Württemberg-Baden was founded on April 30, 1947 in Ludwigsburg with Marie-Luise Leutrum zu Ertingen as its first president. Regina Frankenfeld became the first managing director. The office was initially located in Unterriexingen Castle , and since 1950 in Stuttgart .

The association's educational and social service, founded in 1984, is a recognized provider of rural adult education . The working group of the three rural women's associations in Baden-Württemberg with the rural women's associations in Southern Baden, Württemberg-Baden and Württemberg-Hohenzollern has existed since 1986 . Over 80,000 rural women are currently united at the state level.
