Sibille Hartmann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sibille Hartmann , née Maria Sibilla (born February 19, 1890 in Cologne , † September 23, 1973 there ) was a politician of the German Center Party and the Christian Democratic Union of Germany .

The trained umbrella seamstress came into contact with politics in 1911 through membership of the Windthorstbund . At the beginning of the twentieth century she was a member of the unionized Christian Woodworkers' Association, the National Women's Service and the Volksverein for Catholic Germany , where she stood up for the rights of women workers.

From 1916 she had a close relationship with Konrad Adenauer . Between 1919 and 1933 she was the first woman of the Center Party to sit on the Cologne city council. In 1920 she was also a member of the Provincial Parliament of the Rhine Province.

After she had to resign from her political offices in 1933, like all female members of parliament, she became privately involved in helping victims of National Socialist persecution, and was arrested in this context in 1944 and released again.

From 1945 she resumed her political activity. Hartmann is one of the 18 founding members of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and helped shape the “Cologne Guidelines”, which were drawn up after June 17, 1945. She later helped found the CDU women's committee. She was a member of the first four federal assemblies that Theodor Heuss and Heinrich Lübke elected as federal presidents .

In the post-war period she was again a member of the Cologne city council and was involved in 18 of the 23 council committees. She also resumed a mandate in the Rhineland Regional Assembly as the successor to the Provincial Parliament. In 1969 she resigned her mandate for reasons of age. Sibille Hartmann played a key role in founding the children's homes in Cologne in the 1950s. It is thanks to her that children from homes with often catastrophic conditions were able to grow up in family-like structures.

Hartmann died at the age of 83, she was buried in the Melaten cemetery in Cologne . The tomb no longer exists.

The Sibille-Hartmann-Strasse in Cologne-Zollstock was named after her in 1975 .
