Life

Lenelis Kruse was born in Berlin in 1942. She spent her school days in Detmold, Düsseldorf and Ulm. There she passed the Abitur in 1961 at the Humboldt Gymnasium. After a year in New York, she began studying psychology at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg in 1962 , from which she graduated in 1966 with a diploma. Very early on, she became interested in the new academic field of environmental psychology. In 1972 she did her doctorate under Carl Friedrich Graumann with a thesis on "Spatial Environment", for which she received the Academic Prize of the University of Heidelberg. It was the first dissertation in Germany in the field of environmental psychology. After a post-doc study as a research associate at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York from 1973 to 1974, she qualified as a professor at Heidelberg University in 1976 with a thesis on privacy as a problem and subject of psychology. From 1978 to 1985 she received a Heisenberg grant from the German Research Foundation. In 1985 she accepted the call to the Fernuniversität Hagen , where she taught until her retirement in 2007. During this time, she also held visiting professorships at the Maison des Sciences d l'Homme in Paris and the University of Friborg (Switzerland). Since 1988 she has been an honorary professor at the Psychological Institute of the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg and teaches there to this day, both in the master’s course and for students from all faculties on key areas of environmental psychology and sustainable development.

Since the 1980s, she has dealt with the topic of "women in management positions" in research as well as in the field of science policy. In addition, since the beginning of the 1990s she has been active in various committees of scientific policy advice, in particular on environmental and sustainability policy, and tries to bring psychological expertise to bear in the search for problem solutions in these fields.

She was married to Carl-Friedrich Graumann until his death in 2007 and lives near Heidelberg.
