Life edit

Funcke was born in Hagen to a liberal-leaning family,[1] the fourth child of a factory owner.[2] Her father was member of the board and president of the Reichsverbandes der Deutschen Industrie from 1919 to 1933, and became a member of the Bundestag for the FDP in the 1950s.[2] Her mother came from the Osthaus family of bankers.[2] She attended the Realgymnasium, where she achieved the Abitur in 1937.[3] She served in the Arbeitsdienst and attended the Kaufmannsschule Dortmund. She then studied Betriebswirtschaftslehre (business administration) in Berlin, where she earned her diploma in 1941.[2] Funcke worked for three years for a Wirtschaftsprüfer (statutory auditor) in Wuppertal; from 1944 she was responsible for balance, taxes, and finance in the company Schraubenfabrik und Gesenkeschmiede Funcke & Hueck, which her great-grandfather had founded in Hagen.[2]

Funcke's political career began after World War II,[1] joining the FDP in 1946.[2] She was a member of the Landtag of North Rhine-Westphalia state parliament from 1950 to 1961,[4] when she was elected to the German Bundestag.[4][5] Funcke was the parliament's vice-president from 1969 to 1979.[4][1] From 1972 to 1979 she was chairman of the Bundestag's Finance Committee, having already been its deputy chairman from 1965 to 1969.[6]

Funcke served as state Minister of Economy [de] (Wirtschaft, Mittelstand und Verkehr) in North Rhine-Westphalia from 1979,[4] the first woman in the position.[6] She had to leave the post a year later because her party was no longer part of the Landtag. She was the Ausländerbeauftragte der Bundesregierung [de] (Federal Commissioner for Foreigners) from 1981 to 1991, working for the federal government for the integration of foreigners and their families,[2] again the first woman to hold the position.[6] She understood the position as "interpreter" of the problems of the foreigners, especially the large group of Turkish workers who brought their families with them; it earned her the respectful name Mutter der Türken (Mother of the Turks), and she continued to serve their interests in public after her official term.[4]

Funcke died in Hagen at the age of 94.[1]
