Inge Löwenstein
Inge Löwenstein (* 1923 in Stuttgart ; † unknown) was Miss Germany from 1949.
Life
In March 1949 - six months before the founding of the Federal Republic of Germany - the Stuttgart woman won the title of German beauty queen, Miss Germany, with 9375 out of 10,000 possible points in Bad Homburg vor der Höhe .
The first contest after the Second World War was an idea of the Wiesbaden small business owner Karl Heinz Ronke, who founded the German Fashion Show Society and developed an idiosyncratic point table for evaluating applicants. Decisive factors were not only the chest size, but also the thickness of the lower lip or the distance from the chest to the neck .
Inge Löwenstein was able to use her election for Miss Germany as a stepping stone into the New World. She got a job in New York that was extraordinarily well paid for the time by an American airline.
