In 1990 Bake started working in a senior academic and administrative role (als “wissenschaftliche Referentin”) at the Hamburg region “Agency for Civic Education” (“Landeszentrale fur politische Bildung”). Between 2004 and 2017, she was the deputy head of the agency. The agency publishes extensive information about Hamburg’s social and regional history, as well as political and institutional politics. During Bake’s tenure at the agency, there has been a greater focus on women’s histories. It also plans and executes historical- based city tours and exhibits.

In 2000, with the active help of the historian-politician Silke Urbanski and of the journalist-politician Helga Diercks-Norden, Rita Bake founded the “Garden of Women” (“Garten der Frauen”) at Hamburg’s Ohlsdorf Cemetery. It is believed to be the only such place in the world. The three women involved were feminist activists. After the heirs or representatives of the deceased have died, the “Garden” can be used as a memorial for important women. Historical grave stones can be transferred to the Garden after they are no longer able or willing to maintain the original grave. It can also be used as a final resting place for women who have died since its inception. The (exclusively voluntary) “Garden of Women Association” has been chaired by Rita Bake since 2000. Bake was asked by a reporter about the implicit gender separation in the project’s launch: “Are all people equal in death?” Bake clearly had already considered the question and replied “Sadly no.” Women’s achievements are often overlooked while they are still alive and they will be forgotten much quicker after their death than men.

In 2012 Rita Bake developed Hamburg’s first on-line databank of women’s biographies. She continues to feed the databank with additional biographical material. In 2015 she instigated another on-line databank for the city, the so-called “Dabeigewesene Databank” which focuses on the experiences of those who lived through the Hitler years in Hamburg.
