Rosa Aschenbrenner (born April 27, 1885 in Beilngries , † February 9, 1967 in Munich ; born Rosa Lierl ) was a socialist politician.

Life

The daughter of a watchmaker and farmer initially worked as a maid, joined the women's and girls' education association in Munich in 1908 and joined the SPD in 1909 after she married the worker Hans Aschenbrenner . From 1917 a member of the USPD , there she belonged to the left wing, which merged with the KPD to form the VKPD in December 1920 . On July 7, 1920 she was elected second chairman of the USPD district leadership in Munich. As early as June 6, 1920, she was elected to the Bavarian State Parliament as a USPD candidate . In November 1921, she had to undergo a complicated medical operation, which severely affected her health. That is why she resigned her seat in the state parliament on January 22, 1922, in order to be able to concentrate fully on helping women with political prisoners. This aid organization of the ADGB unions existed until the summer of 1923 and was then dissolved because of the political proximity to the Red Aid (RHD). In 1924 she was re-elected to the Bavarian state parliament, to which she belonged until 1932. In addition, she was temporarily responsible for the party's women's political activities in the KPD's southern Bavaria district leadership and later for the party's coffers and was involved in the RHD.

As a supporter of the “right” wing of the party around August Thalheimer and Heinrich Brandler , she criticized the politics of the party leadership around Ernst Thälmann ( social fascism and RGO politics ) from 1928 and was initially cautioned for violating the party and Comintern lines . In June 1929 she announced her departure from the party because she refused to continue to represent the line of the party leadership which she characterized as “disaster policy”. Her husband was expelled from the KPD the following month because he refused to separate from his wife. Rosa Aschenbrenner now initially joined the KPO around Brandler and Thalheimer, when, unlike in Northern Bavaria around her parliamentary group colleague Karl Grönsfelder , who also joined the KPO, no strong KPO structures were formed in the Munich area, she joined the in 1932 while maintaining her previous political positions SPD on.

After the takeover of the Nazi Party in 1933 arrested a few months, it was 1937 again on charges of wiretapping "four months to enemy broadcasts imprisoned". In 1945 Rosa Aschenbrenner was one of the founding members of the SPD. The still staunch socialist and opponent of rearmament represented the SPD again in the Bavarian state parliament from 1946 to 1948 and subsequently in the Munich city council assembly until 1956, but was increasingly marginalized in her party due to her political positions.
