Anna Köppen
Anna Köppen (born January 13, 1881 - † October 5, 1965 ) was a German photographer.
Life
Köppen was a pupil from 1898, from 1900 assistant at the photography school of the Lette-Verein, 1913 master's examination in photography, from 1915 head of the metallographic department of the photography school, from 1945 to 1952 head of the technical vocational school.
In 1905 the Lette-Verein received a facility for microphotography. Anna Köppen played a key role in the rapid development of another training occupation - metallography. Microscopy, spectrography, and X-rays have been used to study metals. Anna Köppen practiced in companies during the holidays, initiated further training, induced large companies to donate equipment for training and worked tirelessly on the ongoing development and updating of the teaching content. In addition, she had a great hobby - flying. In 1913 she took part in a flight competition in Johannisthal, where she took aerial photographs. Your exciting report on this flight is preserved in the archive of the Lette Association. After the Second World War until her retirement in 1952, Anna Köppen managed the reconstruction of the destroyed technical vocational school, which, despite major losses and initially lacking equipment, resumed training.
