[1] Agnes Schmidt was born in Gotha, a town rich in history located a short distance to the west of Erfurt in south central Germany.
[1] Elections were held on 10 February 1924 to the Thuringian Parliament ("Landtag") in which Agnes Schmidt won a seat, representing the Gotha electoral district for the Communist Party.
[1] In the context of the continuing internal ructions that were a feature of the Communist Party during the later 1920s Agnes Schmidt was initially seen as part of the leftwing, aligned with comrades such as Ruth Fischer and Arkadi Maslow.
After 1925 she identified with the ultra-left together with Iwan Katz and her fellow Landtag member Otto Geithner [de].
