family

Adolf Kiepert was born as the second son of the manor owner Samuel Gotthilf Kiepert and his wife Christiane Henriette (née Beer) and was baptized Protestant on September 24th in Marienkirche in Berlin-Mitte . His two years older brother was the geographer Johann Samuel Heinrich Kiepert (* 1818; † 1899). Adolf Kiepert married Emilie Beer and had two children with her who died early. The son died on the day of his birth in 1847, and the daughter Henriette Klara (* 1848) was only two years old. Her son Otto lived from 1850 to 1899.

engagement

Kiepert, the patron saint of the village of Marienfelde , became involved in politics and society, as Superintendent, Deputy District Administrator of Teltow , representatives of the National Liberal Party in the Prussian state parliament since 1869 and member of parliament from 1872 to 1878. He founded together with the agricultural technicians Max Eyth the German Agricultural Society DLG and was its first chairman.

Berlin memorial plaque for Kiepert in Alt-Marienfelde
Kiepert family grave at the Marienfelde village church

The 10th community school in Berlin-Marienfelde , Alt-Marienfelde, was renamed the Kiepert School in 1961 and names Adolf Kiepert and his brother Heinrich Kiepert as patrons. The new building of the Kiepert primary school in Berlin-Marienfelde, Prechtlstrasse 21 + 23, inaugurated in 1965, kept the name. A commemorative plaque is placed on the estate's house. Adolfstrasse, named after him, was renamed Greulichstrasse in 1948 due to possible confusion of names. In 1989 the Adolf-Kiepert-Steig was built in the Marienfelder Feldflur via a connecting railway, which has since been dismantled, which is a monument to him in the middle of his field of activity. In addition, his grave in the family grave next to the Marienfelde village church in the former churchyard has been preserved to this day.
