Christa Schroeder never married. The practice of addressing women as ‘Fräulein’ or ‘Frau’ depending on their marital status was current into the 1970s but has become discontinued in modern Germany as part of the process of female emancipation, and all women out of their teens are now accorded the prefix ‘Frau’ irrespective of their civil status.
