Stadtführung mit Frauenpower: Peiner Frauen prägen ihre Stadt

Guided tour
Guided walking tour
Guided historical tour
The city tour “Peiner Women Shape Their City” focuses on women who were interested in much more than just children, cooking, and church.

And this at a time when women were assigned only these roles. Women from Peine, in particular, had a voice and held positions of power in business, politics, and volunteer work. Whether as politicians, school principals, philanthropists, or actresses—their life paths are as diverse as their professions and vocations.

Learn more about the legacy these women left behind and gain insights into the life of Peine politician Herta Peters, among others. She shaped the political landscape of Peine as the first female district administrator in Lower Saxony—and at times the only one in all of Germany—and is considered a trailblazer for women in politics during an era when political affairs were still entirely in the hands of men.
