Biography
Sophie Schulz (née Rotteneder) was born on 23 May 1905. A resident of Baden bei Wien, she was a member of the Christian Social Party during the Interwar period. After the war, she joined the Austrian People's Party. Schulz was elected a local councilor in 1950, and served as a member of the Baden city council from 1955 until 1965. Prior to entering politics, she was a housewife.[1][2][3]
On 5 November 1959, Schulz became a member of the Landtag of Lower Austria, succeeding Viktor Müllner.[1][4] During her tenure, she introduced a bill which would update regulations to the state's spas and health resorts, superseding a 1930 law which had become redundant due to scientific advances in balneology. Specifically, the law clarifies when a spa can be considered a health resort, prevents towns without spas from calling themselves spa towns, and establishes construction and sanitation regulations.[5] Schulz left the landtag at the end of her term on 19 November 1964.[1][2]
Schulz died in Baden on 24 April 1975.[1]
