tomb

Luise Catharina Amalie Zietz , née Körner, (born March 25, 1865 in Bargteheide ; † January 27, 1922 in Berlin ) was a German politician ( SPD , USPD ).

Life and work

Zietz was born as the eldest of four children of a wool weaver and from an early age had to work in the father's home weaving mill. After attending primary school, Zietz first worked as a maid and tobacco worker. She was trained as a kindergarten teacher by Johanna Goldschmidt in the “Hamburger Froebel Association” . In 1890 she married the port worker Carl Zietz in Hamburg and from 1892 she was active in the German social democracy. In 1911 it was recorded for the first time in the Berlin address books.

Political party

During the Hamburg dockworkers strike of 1896 , she appeared for the first time as a public speaker. During the strike, she organized women's resistance. From 1898 to 1904 Zietz was the chairwoman of the paying office of the “Association of Factory, Agricultural and Industrial Aid Workers” in Hamburg-St. Georg and represented this local association at the trade union congresses in 1902 and 1910. After the Reich Association Law was passed in 1908, she was officially able to become a member of the SPD. She was considered a popular and successful agitator of the party, especially in women's agitation. Because of these abilities, she was called the "Female Bebel ". At the Nuremberg party congress, she was the first woman in Germany to be elected to a party executive. In 1911 she organized for the first time International Women's Day in Germany , which was decided in Copenhagen in 1910 . She wrote regularly for the social democratic women's magazine Die Equality and Die Neue Zeit .

tomb

In 1917 Luise Zietz was one of the founding members of the USPD, of which she was a member of the central committee until her death. She was buried in the Friedrichsfelde Central Cemetery in Berlin-Friedrichsfelde . After she was reburied in 1951, her grave is there on the curtain wall of the socialist memorial .

MPs

Luise Zietz was a member of the Weimar National Assembly in 1919/20 and was then a member of the Reichstag until her death . She died of a stroke in Berlin after she passed out the day before in the plenary hall of the Reichstag. The MP Clara Mende from the DVP wrote in an obituary that Zietz, who is considered controversial and unfeminine, had a soft heart. Over a cup of coffee, she learned Zietz's life story and was no longer able to judge what others accused her of.

Appreciation

The Luise-Zietz-Strasse in Berlin-Biesdorf was named after Zietz in 1951 ; there is also a Luise-Zietz-Strasse in Zwickau - Oberplanitz and a Louise-Zietz-Strasse in Bad Oldesloe . There is also a Louise-Zietz-Weg in her native Bargteheide .
