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

Life

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]
