Luise Albertz (22 June 1901 – 1 February 1979) was a German politician committed, throughout her life, to the Social Democratic Party (SPD). She was a member of the West German Bundestag (National Parliament) for two decades, until 1969.[1] However, she was firmly rooted in the regional politics of her home city, Oberhausen, where she was the appointed mayor from 1946 to 1948. Following the establishment in 1949, by three of the four principal occupying powers, of West Germany, Albertz was elected mayor of Oberhausen in 1956 and held the office till her death in 1979.[2] She was the first female mayor of a major city in Germany.[3]
