Non-partisan Women's Committee Wiesbaden
Founded in the spring of 1946, the non-party women's committee in Wiesbaden was made up of women who were politically active in political parties, members of charitable and medical professions or members of church associations. The board included Dr. Else Moreau, who was not a party member, Minnie Köhler, who later became a KPD city councillor, Emma Brezing, a CDU city councillor, Olga Radtke (FDP) and Else Voos-Heismann, who later became a member of the state parliament for the SPD.
The non-party women's committee in Wiesbaden was founded in close cooperation with the Lord Mayor Hans Heinrich Redlhammer. According to his ideas, the board of the non-party women's committee in Wiesbaden should act as a women's advisory board and meet with him regularly. The women discussed issues such as the daily food supply, questions of education and support for refugees.
The non-party women's committee in Wiesbaden, which was transformed into a women's association in March 1947, as in other cities, advocated legal equality and the promotion of women's political participation. From 1949 onwards, other women's organizations such as the Housewives' Association and the German-American Women's Club were formed. In the same year, all women's organizations active in Wiesbaden joined forces to form the Wiesbaden Women's Organizations Association.
