After graduating from high school in 1923, Martha Schneider-Bürger began studying structural engineering at the Technische Hochschule Karlsruhe (now Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) and after her intermediate diploma in 1925 she transferred to the Technische Hochschule Munich, a predecessor of Technical University of Munich, where she was the first German female civil engineer to graduate in 1927.[2]

Career edit

Martha Schneider-Bürger began her professional career in a Düsseldorf engineering office before joining the Wirtschaftsvereinigung Stahl - Beratungsstelle für Stahlverwendung (an association giving advice on the deployment of steel) in 1929 for ten years. She married Max Schneider and after the birth of two children she continued to work for this association as a freelancer.[1]

In 1930, Martha Schneider-Bürger joined the Association of German Engineers. She was a member of various committees, including the group Women in the Engineering Profession. Furthermore, she supported the German Institute for Standardisation and contributed to the standardisation of steel construction issues.

Martha Schneider-Bürger is known primarily through her tables of steel sections which were used for decades and were published in 23 editions.
