Ursula Fischer (née Bätz; 6 September 1952 in Steinach) is a German former national politician (PDS).
[3] Ursula Bätz was born in Steinach in the East German Bezirk Suhl, a small but long established town in the Thuringian Forest to the south of Erfurt, today administratively part of the district of Sonneberg.
Between 1971 and 1973 she studied medicine at the Karl Marx University (as it was known at the time) in Leipzig, moving on to the Erfurt Medical Academy from where she emerged with a degree in medicine in 1976, which was also the year in which she passed the national examination necessary to obtain her medical practicing certificate.
In 1971, like many ambitious people, she had joined the country's ruling Socialist Unity Party ("Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands" / SED), but available sources covering this part of Ursula Fischer's career are otherwise silent on the subject of any political involvement.
[5] Ursula Fischer was one of two elected Upper legislative assembly (Bundestag) candidates from the party list for the Thuringia electoral district.
