Abstract

The university library at Heidelberg University published a “Catalogue of the Estate of Dr. Marie Baum” (1874–1964). This collection documents her life as pioneer of modern social work, as a leader of the women’s movement, as a politician during the Weimar Republic, a scientist, author and lifelong friend of Ricarda Huch. This catalogue is useful for identifying and finding select documents as well as a contribution to the biographie of Marie Baum.
