Biography

Hannelore Suppmayr was born on 5 August 1941 in the Miesenbach village in Durach, Bavaria, and she was educated at a Durach primary school and the Kempten Agricultural and Domestic Science School.[1] After working at her parents' farm, she married into the Siegel family farm in Durach in 1964.[1]

Siegel served in several positions in the Bayerischer Bauernverband: local chair for Durach (1971 to 1991), district chair for Oberallgäu (1987-1997), regional chair for Swabia (1992-2002), and state chair (1995-2002).[1] She was also a member of the national board of the German Rural Women's Association and, from 1999 to 2002, served as their second vice president.[1] The BBV awarded her the title of honorary state farmer.[1]

From 1984 to 1996, Siegel served on the Durach municipal council as a representative of independent voters.[1] On 1 January 1996, she began serving in the Bavarian Senate, serving until 31 December 1999.[1] She served on Committee on Social, Health and Family Policy and on the Bavarian State Senior Citizens' Council.[1] In 1999, she was nominated by the Christian Social Union in Bavaria for the 11th Federal Convention.[2]

Siegel was awarded the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany in 2002 and the Bavarian Order of Merit in 2005.[1] The Bayerisches Landwirtschaftliches Wochenblatt  reported that she "championed the interests of Bavarian rural women with dedication and expertise".[3]
