Life
The housewife Maria Backenecker joined the USPD in 1919 and took part in the unification of the left wing of the USPD with the KPD in 1920. In the following years she was involved in the communist women's movement in the Ruhr area and was elected to the Reichstag in May 1924 , to which she only belonged until the new election in December 1924, as she had to run for the second election on a hopeless list.
Maria Backenecker belonged to the left wing of the party and from 1925 to the left opposition to the party leadership under Ernst Thälmann , so she was expelled from the KPD in early 1927. In the spring of 1928 she was a founding member and leader of the Hamborner group of the Lenin League . She left with the minority around Anton Grylewicz in 1930 and joined the Trotskyist Left Opposition of the KPD (Bolshevik-Leninists) , whose Hamborner group she led until her untimely death from tuberculosis .
