Emilie Kiep-Altenloh (1888–1985) was a German sociologist and politician.

Life

[edit]

Kiep-Altenloh's doctorate, published as a book in 1914, was "the first scholarly publication on cinema in Germany".[1]

Kiep-Altenloh was politically active in the German Democratic Party, advocating equality between men and women. The Nazis prohibited her involvement in politics, promoting a turn to biology and zoology in 1934. She joined Jakob Johann von Uexküll's Institut für Umweltforschung,[2] later taking charge of the Institute and its work training guide dogs for the blind.[3]

From 1961 to 1965 Kiep-Altenloh was a member of the Bundestag.[2]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
