Inge von Bönninghausen

Her childhood was eventful, as her parents and their children moved six times in three years due to the war and post-war period.

During this time, she experienced the building of the Berlin Wall, the Cuban Missile Crisis and the confrontation between East and West in the 1960s.

[4] After 40 years, Inge von Boeninghausen reflects on her “very special” time as a student in the light of the Women's Summer University.

[1][5] In addition to the regular programmes, the twelve-part Unerhört – Die Geschichte der Deutschen Frauenbewegung von 1830 bis heute, which was broadcast in 1987, was created together with editors from NDR and HR and is considered an "exceptional case of Fernsehgeschichte".

Between 1986 and 2007, Inge von Bönninghausen was a speaker and moderator at women's media conferences in Africa, Asia and South America.

In 1999, Inge von Bönninghausen was honoured with the Hedwig Dohm Certificate of the Journalistinnenbund for her achievements in making the expertise of women working in journalism publicly visible.

The jury called her a "pioneer in the German television landscape who has thematised, demanded and lived the work, impact and influence of women in the media".
