Amalie Luise Elisabeth Haub (September 20, 1899 in Mülheim an der Ruhr – January 24, 1977 in Bonn) was a German heiress, philanthropist and environmentalist.
[1] To mark the centenary of her father's birth, she founded the Karl Schmitz-Scholl Fund in 1968, a foundation for the promotion of environmental protection.
This task is performed by an international jury consisting of six prominent environment lawyers, which considers the most important diplomatic achievements in the field of environmental law and policy in the preceding year.
The Foundation is named after her late husband, Erich Haub, and his great-grandfather, the city architect, Christian Zais.
