biography
Vietor was the daughter of the theologian Cornelius Rudolph Vietor (1814-1897), pastor at the Liebfrauenkirche in Bremen and from his wife Adelheid Luce, who came from a Bremen medical family. Her brother was the businessman and entrepreneur Karl Vietor (1861–1934). She grew up in a very large circle of siblings.
She attended a private girls' school in Bremen and then studied education at the Kaiserswerther Diakonissenanstalt . In 1879 she passed her examination as a teacher in middle and high schools for girls. She made her first teaching experience in Wernigerode and with the deaconesses in Florence , where her Christian outlook and her turn to the language and art of Italy were promoted. After a short stay in Bremen she deepened her language skills in Rome from 1886 and acquired the license to teach Italian in Berlin in 1889 . In Bremen she was then a teacher at Helene Laweg and Sophie Petri's secondary school for girls. Finally, in 1897, she passed the exam for the direction of higher girls' schools.
In 1899 she ran a school under her name. It modernized the timetable and introduced mathematics as well as an increased range of natural science subjects. She brought academically trained teachers to her teaching staff, including the pedagogue and women's rights activist Käthe Stricker . The school has been called the Private Higher Girls' School (Lyzeum Anna Vietor) since 1912 and found state recognition and increasing popularity. On today's Carl-Schurz-Straße in Bremen- Schwachhausen , she had the architect August Abbehusen build a new school building, according to her ideas with large, bright rooms. The building was inaugurated in 1913. The school was nationalized in 1922, like other private schools.
The humorous Vietor remained active as a school teacher until 1925. She was active in various committees, including the church council of the Liebfrauenkirche in Bremen .
Vietor was buried in the Waller cemetery .
