Since 1981, Schnieber-Jastram has been a member of the German Christian Democratic Union (CDU). From 1986 to 1994 she was a member of the Hamburg Parliament and a member of the Bundestag from 1994 to 2001 , including serving as a parliamentary executive of the CDU faction (2000–2001) and in this position a member of the council of elders. From October 2001 to May 2008, she was State Minister for Social and Family Affairs of Hamburg.[1] She was succeeded by Dietrich Wersich.

In 2009 Schnieber-Jastram was elected to the European Parliament.[3] After her election, Schnieber-Jastram was criticised, among others, by the newspaper Der Spiegel, for collecting a pension for her job as Hamburg Senator (€5,500) and receiving monthly €7,665 for her election as MEP.[4] The Hamburg Government announced plans to change its law, to prevent double income.[5]
