Gerda Krüger-Nieland (born June 22, 1910 in Bremen, died September 21, 2000 in Karlsruhe) was a German lawyer and first senate president at the Federal Court of Germany.[1] Because of some restrictions, she wasn't allowed to work neither a judge nor a lawyer[2] and in 1945, fled to Hamburg and worked there as a lawyer and mainly as a defense lawyer. Although she had never worked as a judge before, she became a judge in 1951 at the newly established Federal Court. In 1965, she was appointed as the first woman to the Senate President of the I. Civil Senate.
