biography

Keil was born out of wedlock and spent the first five years of her life in an orphanage in what is now Poland . She only met her father later and only briefly. In 1945 her mother took her out of the orphanage and fled with her to the west from the advancing Red Army . On the run, however, they were overtaken by Russian soldiers and taken prisoner for two years. After that, mother and daughter first came to the Friedland refugee camp and were able to settle in Bad Oeynhausen in 1948 .

Despite poor conditions, Keil graduated from high school and studied political science and sociology at the University of Hamburg , then also psychology and education . She received her doctorate in 1969 on the topic of state subsidies for youth education and then worked as an academic adviser at the University of Göttingen .

In 1971 she was involved in the founding of the University of Bremen and moved to the Hanseatic City of Bremen as a professor of social and health sciences . Not least because of her personal experience - she suffered a heart attack at the age of 40 and developed breast cancer at the age of 50 - psychosomatics , the connection between mental and physical illness, became the health scientist's most important research area. In 1992 she was awarded the first Berninghausen Prize for excellent teaching and innovation . In the 1990s she was criticized for her participation in esoteric fairs and events. In 2004 she retired .

Keil is active in the hospice movement and co-founder of the further education course Palliative Care in Bremen, which qualifies the professional care and accompaniment of seriously ill and dying people. Furthermore, she is involved in various social areas and runs an international soup kitchen. In 2004 she received the Federal Cross of Merit for her voluntary work to promote civic engagement, youth education and health advice and self-help.

She became known to a wider audience through the television series “Health Workshop” broadcast by the north German television stations N3 and Radio Bremen TV , which she designed together with the Bremen television journalist Klaus Haak . She has been committed to the unconditional basic income since November 2011.

Keil lived near Bremen in a former farmhouse in the Wesermarsch for around 25 years and since 2009 in Bremen.
