Magdalena Heinroth

Magdalena Heinroth née Wiebe (22 April 1883 - 15 August 1932) was a German ornithologist, aviculturist and taxidermist who studied numerous birds in captivity, raising them from chicks to adults.

Magdalena Heinroth was also influenced by a natural history teacher Seinig who showed her how to prepare skeleton specimens.

She then set up a small personal museum and also learned illustration techniques from an experienced woman, professor Ewald.

Since Oskar Heinroth was the founder and in-charge of the new Berliner Aquarium, his wife organized the documentation of their bird raising program.

At the beginning of the 20th century she published her notes on aviculture in the worldwide oldest bird journal Gefiederte Wel.
