She was born in Dresden in 1918 as the daughter of Martha and Walther Schieck , who later became Prime Minister of Saxony. In 1937 she did the Reich Labor Service for young women ; In 1938 she was a member of the German Labor Front and in 1940/41 a member of the NSDStB . From 1940 to 1943 she studied technical physics at the TH Dresden and then worked at the Physics Institute. Schieck's diploma thesis from 1943, in which she examined the optical properties of a material when an electric field was applied, was entitled About the Kerr effect on gases and vapors up to 6 at pressure . In 1944 she married her fellow student Karl Theodor Schieszl von Buda and gave birth to a daughter in 1945.

Despite her husband's captivity until 1949, she succeeded in becoming a single mother as a Dr.-Ing. to do a PhD. In 1950 she moved to the Institute for Electrochemistry and Physical Chemistry as a senior assistant. In 1952 she and her family fled to West Berlin after warning students about possible arrest. She moved to Mannheim to work in the central laboratory of the US Army.

In 1956 she began her career at Volkswagen AG in Wolfsburg , where she headed the laboratory for inorganic chemistry. In 1966 she set up the Central Damage Investigation department , which she took over as head in 1970. In 1972 she was appointed head of the quality promotion department , making her the first woman in a managerial position at Volkswagen AG. She was committed to active quality management until she retired in 1979 , making a name for herself throughout the automotive industry.

In 1990 she moved to live with her daughter in Sweden, where she died in 2010.

In addition to her professional activity, she has been involved in the Soroptimist International Club Wolfsburg since 1963 , of which she was a founding member. In 2015, a women's place in phæno in Wolfsburg was dedicated to her for her exemplary life's work .
