Biography

[edit | edit source]

Barbara Schack was born on 20 September 1874 in Cheb in Bohemia, then part of Austria-Hungary.[1][2] A Sudeten German, Schack's public career began in 1895 when she co-founded the Women's Workers' Education Association in Cheb and Kraslice. She later became a prominent member German Social Democratic Workers' Party (DSAP) in the far-western portion of Czechoslovakia. From 1918 until 1938, she chaired the party's women's wing, and at some point was a member of the Cheb town council.[3][4]

In the 1929 Czechoslovak parliamentary election, Schack was elected to the Senate of Czechoslovakia (cs) as the substitute for Anton Jarolim.[5] She was one of two female DSAP senators elected in the Interwar period, alongside Anna Perthen.[6] Jarolim died in office and Schack was sworn-in to replace him on 26 May 1933.[5][7] During her tenure, she gave two recorded speeches; occurring in 1933 and 1934, both speeches were about the Budget and Finance Acts for the following years.[8][9] Schack left office at the end of her term in 1935.[10]

Following the German annexation of the Sudetenland in 1938, Schack was arrested by the Nazi regime and imprisoned for five months.[3][11] In 1946 – following the end of World War II – she was deported to Germany, settling in the town of Moosburg an der Isar in Bavaria. Schack died in Moosburg on 27 October 1958.[3][4] Her husband was Josef Engelbert Schack, a shoe upper manufacturer who died in the 1950s. Their son Emil Schack was a musician who joined the Sturmabteilung in 1942, becoming the leader of a musician platoon.[12]
