About Luise Zietz

Lived 1865 – 1922 (aged 56). Luise Zietz was a German politician, laborer, feminist, first-wave feminism and reichstag of the Weimar Republic.

Luise Catharina Amalie Zietz (née: Körner) (1865–1922) was a German socialist and feminist. She was the first woman to occupy a leading party post in Germany. She also helped bring the socialist women's movement into the Social Democratic Party of Germany. She later nominated Marie Juchacz for a paid position by the party as the Cologne women's secretary in what was then the Upper Rhine province.

In 1917 she was one of the main agitators in favor of a split in the party, which led to the formation of the Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany. She then became a leader in the creation of that party's women's movement.

She was one of the first female members of the new Reichstag in 1919.
