Marieluise Beck (born 25 June 1952 in Bramsche, Lower Saxony) is a German politician and member of the Alliance '90/The Greens group in the Bundestag. She is also a member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.
Beck studied history and sociology in Bielefeld and Heidelberg. Beck also studied in the United States as a Youth for Understanding exchange student in 1967-68. She is a 1968 graduate of Quincy High School (Quincy, Michigan).
Beck was among the founding members of the German Green party, Alliance '90/The Greens. In 1983 she was elected to the German Bundestag and in the first electoral term in which the Greens were represented in Parliament she was one of the spokespersons of the parliamentary group, together with Petra Kelly and Otto Schily. That year, Beck she went on a trip to Washington, D.C. with Kelly and Gerd Bastian to discuss the NATO Double-Track Decision.
In 1984, along with Kelly and Schily, she withdrew her candidacy for the party's parliamentary leadership when a majority of the party's legislators nominated an all-female slate headed by Antje Vollmer in an unexpected move. She again served as a Member of the German Bundestag in the following electoral term from 1987 to 1990. After serving as a member of the Parliament of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen from 1991 to 1994, Beck was re-elected to the German Bundestag and has been a Member ever since.
