from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Elisabeth Pfeil (born July 9, 1901 in Berlin , † July 25, 1975 in Dießen am Ammersee ) was a German urban sociologist and refugee researcher. During National Socialism she worked in the context of population science; Pfeil is also considered to be the co-founder of West German urban sociology (1950s).

Life

Elisabeth Pfeil's scientific career began in 1927 with a doctorate as a mediaevalist and then as an assistant to Albert Brackmann at the University of Berlin . From 1930 to 1941 she was in the editorial board of the journal Archives of demography and population issues involved, then she worked until 1945 as a speaker on which is currently being established Reich Institute for Demography and Population Policy in Munich. The provisional research community for population science, which Friedrich Burgdörfer had initiated in the run-up to the alleged establishment of the institute, was given rooms in the Bavarian State Statistical Office.

In 1937, Pfeil became a member of the NSDAP .

From 1952 to 1956, Elisabeth Pfeil was a research assistant and group leader at the social research center at the University of Münster in Dortmund . During this time she also took on a larger research assignment for the Institute for Spatial Research . From 1953, Pfeil was a full member of the Academy for Spatial Research and Regional Planning (ARL) and headed the ARL's Research Committee on Big City Problems. In 1956 she moved to the research center of the Academy for Community Economy in Hamburg, where she was retired in 1968.
