Elfriede Husemann studied chemistry at the University of Freiburg and received his doctorate in 1933 under Eduard Zintl . Then habilitated they at Hermann Staudinger in Freiburg in 1939. your further research career laid the Nazi government obstacles in the way, because she was a woman and not even the NSDAP belonged. She then worked in the laboratory for applied electron microscopy at Siemens & Halske AG , where she and Helmut Ruska did pioneering work in the field of electron microscopy .

After the war she worked again at Hermann Staudinger's Institute, from 1947 as an adjunct professor. In 1956, after his retirement, she became head of the institute and associate professor and in 1962 she received the chair for macromolecular chemistry at the University of Freiburg. In 1956 she was awarded the Saare Medal . Her students include Walther Burchard , Beate Pfannemüller and Helmut Ringsdorf .
