In 1924 she built her own radio while she was still at school. After her father protested, her uncle and grandfather financed the desire for technical training.

education

Hampe studied physics and engineering at the Technical University of Munich , where she completed her pre-exams in mathematics , physics, chemistry and technical drawing . She then continued her studies in telecommunications technology at the Technical University of Berlin and graduated in 1931 as a graduate engineer (Dipl.-Ing.).

From 1942 to 1944 she studied economics at the University of Hamburg , graduated in 1945 and obtained her doctorate in 1947 (Dr. rer. Pol.) On the "Influence of the war-related building destruction on urban land credit". She qualified as a professor in 1957 with "The free co-pricing".

activity

From 1931 to 1940, Hampe worked in test and university laboratories in industry: after completing her studies, she worked for a year to prepare a patent for the Krupp research institute and then to work as a physicist in the Barmbek hospital. Here she was released in 1933 for reasons of sex. After working as a quotation engineer at Kunst und Albers , she became laboratory manager at the tube and component manufacturer Philipps-Valvo . In 1940 she worked on her own application for the Navy at the Intelligence Test Command in Kiel .

In 1947 she worked in housing associations. From 1951 she worked as Albert von Mühlenfels' assistant and lecturer in statistics at the University of Hamburg.

Hampe was involved in the concept of reconstruction and the design of housing policy in post-war Germany .
