Life and political activity

Ursula Falck's childhood and adolescence were overshadowed by the First World War . Nothing is currently known about her family background, her school and professional training and the reasons for moving to southern Germany.

Falck was a housewife and lived in the early 1950s in the municipality of Brombach, which today belongs to Lörrach, at Wilhelm-Schöpflin-Straße 3. She was politically active and ran for the state elections on May 18, 1947 on the Baden state list of the KPD. After her party had won four seats in this election and her party comrade Katharina Seifried her seat in Parliament who resigned in June 1951 Falck followed this at the age of 43 years on 27 June 1951 as Nachrückerin after.

Along with Maria Beyerle ( CDU ), Gerda Schlayer-von Puttkamer ( SPD ) and Hildegard Teutsch ( FDP ), she belonged to the small group of only four women who were represented in the Baden state parliament alongside 56 male members. Falck exercised her mandate until the end of the unscheduled extended legislative period , which only ended in 1952 with the merger of the previous states of Baden , Württemberg-Baden and Württemberg-Hohenzollern to form the new state of Baden-Württemberg .

Ursula Falck died in 1998 at the age of 90 or 91.
