Live and act

Kiekebusch was born as the son of the farmer Friedrich Kiekebusch (1819–1901) and Auguste Kiekebusch, nee. Kolshorn (1833–1899) born. From the age of 6 to 14 he attended the one-class village school, then the preparatory institute and the teachers' seminar in Köpenick . He passed the first exam in March 1890, the second in May 1892. This enabled him to teach lower and middle classes at middle and high schools for girls. From April 1890 to February 1891 he was a teacher at the school in Velten . From 1891 to 1895 he taught at the girls' middle school in Köpenick and from 1895 to 1901 at the 209th community school in Berlin. In addition, from 1896 to 1897 he attended three semesters of lectures at the Berlin University and in November 1896 passed the examination as a teacher of the upper classes at middle and higher girls' schools. In addition, he took over the science classes at the Ulrich teacher's seminar. From 1901 he worked at the Sophienschule and in 1904 made up his Abitur at the Bismarck-Gymnasium . Then, in addition to his work as a teacher, he studied prehistory, history, German literature and philosophy at the University of Berlin .

After graduating as Dr. phil. In 1908 he worked for Gustaf Kossinna at the Märkisches Museum in Berlin, where he was a research assistant until 1911, then assistant, in 1919 head of department and in 1922 department director, which he remained until shortly before his death. From February 1917 to November 1918 he served as a war geologist on the Eastern Front . After the First World War he lectured at the Central Institute for Education and Teaching . He was involved in anchoring the prehistory in the curriculum of the Berlin elementary schools. In 1925 he was elected a corresponding member of the Archaeological Institute of the German Empire . From 1929 he was a lecturer for Brandenburg prehistory at the University of Berlin, in 1932 he became an honorary professor . In addition, since 1920 he was chairman of the Brandenburgia , society for local history and homeland security in the Mark Brandenburg, and a member of the Berlin society for anthropology, ethnology and prehistory .

In contrast to his teacher Kossinna, he saw the task of settlement archeology not only to be the reconstruction of tribal and ethnic areas, but also the research of the settlements themselves. Kiekebusch contributed a lot to the settlement history in Berlin and Brandenburg. Mention should be made of his settlement excavations , which he carried out in 1913/14 in Lagardesmühlen (today Kostrzyn -Kłośnica) during the Roman Empire and in 1910–1914 in Buch for the Bronze Age.

Kiekebusch married Lucie Kolshorn (1878 - August 24, 1944) in 1900. He had a son, Heinz , and a daughter who became an archaeologist as Ingeborg Mertins-Kiekebusch (1912 - July 18, 2004). From 1919 the family lived in Hohenbinde, a district of Erkner.

In Erkner, Berlin-Köpenick and Schönefeld streets were named after Albert Kiekebusch.
