Biography[]

Ellen Sundström was born in Stockholm, Sweden. She was the elder daughter of Carl Rudolf Sundström (1841-1889) and Carolina Sofia Häggström (1849–1943). Her father was an ornithologist and doctor of zoology. Her mother was a journalist and foreign editor with Stockholms-Tidningen. She was the sister of Swedish landscape artist Harriet Sundström (1872–1961) .^{[4][5] [6]}

After graduation, she began training as a physiotherapist. In 1890 Ellen Sundström married German orthopedist Ottmar Ammann (1861–1939) and then moved with her husband to Munich. She worked for Swedish-German women's rights, and was a welfare nurse and pioneer of professional training for social work. A Roman Catholic convert, in 1904 she co-founded the Munich branch of the German Catholic Women's Association. ^[7]

From 1919 to 1932, she served as a “landtag” deputy for “Bavarian People’s Party”, where she advocated the professionalisation of women's education. In January 1923, together with Anita Augspurg, Lida Gustava Heymann and a delegation of women, Amman called for Austrian born Adolf Hitler to be expelled from Germany. During the Beer Hall Putsch, she and several members of government hastily composed a condemnation of the attempted coup d'état. She continued to oppose National Socialism until her death. Ellen Ammann died in Munich during 1932 in the aftermath of a stroke. She was buried at Alter Südfriedhof.^[8]
