Adalbert Luntowski

Adalbert Luntowski (called from around 1917 Adalbert Reinwald ; born November 16, 1883 in Danzig ; † August 4, 1934 in Neu-Asel near Herzhausen (Vöhl) ) was a German teacher , writer and life reformer .

Luntowski was initially trained as a primary school teacher. He belonged to the Friedrichshagener Dichterkreis and lived first in Woltersdorf (near Berlin) , where he taught the children of Fidus , and from 1915 in Fürstenwalde / Spree . In the spirit of the Wandervogel and in the Greifenbund founded in 1915 with Otger Gräff, he campaigned for a “Germanic modernity” and in 1915 for the “birth of the German man”. In 1913, he translated the Book Renaissance by Gobineau . In Hamburg since 1915, he became managing director of the Fichte Society in 1914 and co-founder of the Fichte Universities in 1917 , a folk high school . From the German settlement community founded in 1915, he branched off in 1919 to the vegetarian settlement community Haus Asel , whose domicile was in Schmittlotheim am Edersee . He watched over the strict house rules. The unmarried “journeymen” had to discard their selves and show “noble activity” in return. In 1926 he wrote the autobiographical novel "Peter von Horn" about it.
