Niddy Impekoven

She was considered a child prodigy and received intense dance training from Heinrich Kröller [de] and others.

Her well-known choreographies included Der gefangene Vogel, Münchner Kaffeewärmer [de], and Schalk.

[1] She appeared in three 1920s films, most notably Ways to Strength and Beauty.

[1] She retired from professional dancing in 1934, in part due to the Nazi seizure of power, and went on to live in Switzerland,[2] where she published her memoirs in 1955.

In 1919 she experienced a personal crisis, suffering from depression and anorexia nervosa; her parents brought her to Bad Ragaz, Switzerland, where she recovered under the care of Reinhard Goering [de].
