Hilde Steppe (born October 6, 1947 in Rethem ; † April 23, 1999 in Frankfurt am Main ) was a German nurse , professional politician, qualified pedagogue , nursing scientist and professor . She dealt intensively with the role of German nursing during the time of National Socialism and, as a trade unionist, played a decisive role in the professionalization and academization of the nursing professions in Germany.

Live and act

Hilde Steppe completed her training as a nurse at the Kempten City Hospital (Allgäu) in 1968. Further training as a specialist nurse for intensive care and anesthesia and as a nursing manager followed. As such, she was, among other things, head of the intensive care department of the University Institute for Anesthesiology in Tübingen . In 1978, Hilde Steppe became a teacher at the advanced training center for professions in the health sector at the professional training center of the German Trade Union Confederation in Frankfurt am Main , which she later took over. She was a union member of ötv and a proponent of the representation of professional interests with the help of independent professional organizations.

At the suggestion of the Kaiserswerth deaconess Anna Sticker, Hilde Steppe began to build up an archive on the history of care in the early 1980s and founded a working group on the history of care . In collaboration with this working group, she published the book “History of Nursing - An attempt at a critical reappraisal” in 1984, which was the first to deal with nursing under National Socialism. Steppe also dealt with the topic of dealing with the seriously ill and the dying. Hilde Steppe was one of the founding members of the German Association for Nursing Science (today: German Society), who elected a board for the first time at the founding meeting on May 10, 1989. This board consisted of five women, including Hilde Steppe. Hilde Steppe was also appointed secretary of the board. In 1990, Hilde Steppe brought the first section of the new association to life with the “Historical Nursing Research Section”. This section was already internationally networked at the beginning of the 1990s and correspondingly represented at conferences, while otherwise the view of the association was more inward-looking to protect the delicate plant nursing science in Germany.

From 1992, Hilde Steppe worked in the Hessian Ministry for the Environment, Energy, Youth, Family and Health in Wiesbaden as head of the department for nursing in the health care system and advocated the establishment of nursing courses , in addition to nursing education and nursing management, in particular also the nursing science course, at universities of applied sciences a. In 1994 she completed her studies in educational science in Frankfurt as a qualified pedagogue. She became a lecturer at the Ev. Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences and the Fulda University of Applied Sciences. In 1995 she handed over the archive she founded to the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences .

During her activities, she continued research into nursing history and received her doctorate in 1997 as a Dr. phil., her dissertation was on the history of Jewish nursing. She had a close friendship with the Jewish nurse Thea Levinsohn-Wolf . In January 1998 she was appointed professor for nursing science at the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences. Hilde Steppe intensified German-language research on the history of nursing with Austria and Switzerland. We worked closely with the Austrian nursing scientists Elisabeth Seidl and Ilsemarie Walter . The Frankfurt companions included the doctor Eva-Maria Ulmer and one of the reformers of psychiatric care in Germany, Hilde Schädle-Deininger .
