Hanna Bieber-Böhm is a women's rights activist

Hanna Bieber-Böhm (1851-1910) is one of the most important personalities who campaigned for women's rights in Germany in the 19th century. Increasingly, she turned to politics and fought against existing grievances. She joined the German women's movement, which campaigned in particular for equality and employment for women, for the protection of children and young people, and for the improvement of the social conditions of young women. Hardly anyone knows that Hanna Bieber-Böhm left her mark on Neuzelle. In 1902 she bought a house for the youth protection association on the Priorsberg, which served as a winegrower's house during the monastery and is now used as a boarding school for the students of the Rahn schools. She set up a youth sanctuary for "bleached, feeble girls", which was also open to mothers with children and older women. The establishment of a household and horticultural school enabled the women to have a better start in an independent professional life after their return to Berlin.
In gratitude and in honor of her tireless work, a memorial was erected on the Priorsberg for her after her death in Neuzelle. On the grave inscription is written - "She lived for the others".
