Thusnelda Lang-Brumann (born April 15, 1880 in Augsburg ; †  June 10, 1953 in Munich ) was a German teacher and politician ( BVP , CSU ).

Live and act

Lang-Brumann attended a secondary school for girls. After attending a teachers' seminar, she first worked as a primary school teacher, later as a teacher at a secondary school for girls and a social school for women in Munich.

From 1920 to 1924 she was a city ​​councilor in Munich. From 1920 she was also a member of the Bavarian People's Party (BVP) in the Reichstag . There she initially represented constituency 27 (Upper Bavaria-Swabia), from 1924 (after a redistribution and renumbering of the constituencies) the constituency 24 (Upper Bavaria-Swabia). In parliament, to which she belonged for seven electoral terms until 1933, she stood out as a champion for social issues and the professional qualification of women and girls. From 1929 on, she succeeded Marie Kundt as the chairwoman of the Association of Technical Assistants (BOTAWI) and campaigned for health protection, tariff solutions, training regulations and professional recognition for technical assistants. In addition to the question of women, Lang-Brumann saw education and the youth movement as her specialty. Outside of parliament, Lang-Brumann was president of the South German women's association of Catholic female youth associations and second chairwoman of the Catholic women's association in Munich, member of the board of the Kyffhäuserbund of war invalids and survivors.

In 1932, on the occasion of the Bavarian state elections, Lang-Brumann published a leaflet in which she - with reference to the National Socialist women's policy - turned against Hitler and National Socialism ("What does a reasonable woman want [to begin] with Hitler?"). Nevertheless, together with all the other MPs of the BVP, she voted for Hitler's Enabling Act.

After 1945 Lang-Brumann worked as a school principal. In addition, she was involved in the Christian Social Union (CSU), in which she founded the women's working group (FAG, forerunner of the women's union ) and for which she was a member of the Science Council (WR) from 1947 to 1949.

Lang-Brumann's estate is now stored under the identification number "N 1626" in the Federal Archives in Koblenz.
