Life

childhood and education

Heimpel spent the first four years of his life in Leipzig. The family lived in Strasbourg from 1941 to 1943 . Then the mother and the five children moved to Falkau in the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald district . Here Heimpel was falsely accused of theft and arson by his parents. He was increasingly severely punished by his parents for these wrongly assumed misdeeds, up to and including whipping. In March 1945 they put him to reform in the "Kinderweide" education home run by August Heisler in Königsfeld in the Black Forest . Finally it turned out that behind the thefts and arson was the maid Rosemarie Prause, who was then dismissed. Heimpel returned to Falkau in August 1946. He attended the Birklehof School of Education in Hinterzarten . After finishing school, Heimpel studied agriculture and economics. In 1966 he received his doctorate with a thesis on the subject: The development of the income and expenditure of the Heiliggeistspital zu Biberach an der Riss from 1500 to 1630 as a Dr. rer. pole. at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen .

Working life

Heimpel worked for various German and international institutions in practical development policy. From 1980 to 1987 Heimpel was President of the German Overseas Institute . From 1993 to 2002 he worked in environmental protection projects in Brazil . In 2002 he retired. Since then he has been a freelance consultant for international environmental issues.

family

Heimpel was the fourth child of the German historian Hermann Heimpel (1901–1988) and the German educator and social worker Elisabeth Heimpel , née Sophie Elisabeth Michel (1902–1972). The couple had 5 children:

From 1943 the family stayed for a few years together with the family of Ernst Rudolf Huber , who also had 5 children, near Falkau in the Black Forest . Elisabeth Heimpel had inherited a larger house there. During this time, the 10 children received lessons from their parents, with Elisabeth Heimpel teaching natural history .

The events described by Heimpel in his book Report on a Thief take place in this time and environment . The Huber family is called "Bauer" in the book. The children's home is the "Kinderweide" sanatorium founded by August Heisler . It emerged from the "Luisenruhe" children's sanatorium founded in 1911 by the Red Cross sister Frieda Klimsch. In 1960 it was closed due to a lack of interested parties.

Heimpel lives in Florianópolis , Brazil.
