from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Milka Fritsch (born Wilhelmine Dorothea Emilie Harnoch, called Milka, born January 6, 1867 in Pitschen (Upper Silesia), † unknown, after 1924) was a German politician ( DVP ).

Live and act

She was the daughter of pastor Agathon Harnoch (1837-1905) and his wife Emilie Riedelsberger. The mother died shortly after giving birth to her daughter. In her childhood, Harnoch was taught privately by her father, later she attended the city school in Pitschen and the higher girls' school in Osterode in East Prussia . She married the high school teacher Carl Fritsch (1854–1929). The son Georg Fritsch (1890–1955) emerged from this marriage . She lived with her husband at his changing school locations, first in Osterode , from 1899 in Tilsit , from 1909 in Königsberg .

In 1905 she was the head of the women's labor department at the trade fair in Tilsit. Politically, she distinguished herself for the first time as the founder and chairwoman of an association for women's education in Königsberg, which in 1918 included more than eighty women. Among other things, the association advocated women's right to vote - in an educational, not an activist way . At the “ Association for Women Education and Studies ” she was one of the chairmen of the Prussian departments of the association. Reagin describes Fritsch politically as a "housewife activist".

Around 1919 Fritsch joined the DVP. On March 28, 1923, she entered the Reichstag as a replacement for the deceased DVP MP Hermann Cuno , where she represented constituency 1 (East Prussia) and to which she belonged until the elections of May 1924. Nothing is known about her further life.
