Anna Wiener-Pappenheim

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anna Agnes Dorothea Wiener-Pappenheim (born January 2, 1868 in Berlin, † June 14, 1946 in Bad Pyrmont ) was a German kindergarten teacher and Froebel teacher.

Live and act

Anna Agnes Dorothea was the second child of the well-known Froebel teacher and classical philologist Eugen Pappenheim . Her sister Gertrud Pappenheim as well as her brother Karl Pappenheim and her father's second wife, Anna Pappenheim (née Schneider), were, like them, connected to Froebel education and the kindergarten movement.

After attending the secondary school for girls , Anna Pappenheim attended the kindergarten teachers ' seminar of the Berlin Froebel Association , which her father had directed since 1892. She then worked in a kindergarten and in 1901, after the death of her father, took over the management of her former training facility, which she held until the seminar closed in 1913. At the age of 36 she married the banker Hugo Hans Wiener. The marriage remained childless.

At the time, Anna Wiener-Pappenheim represented the new method of concentrating educational material , which placed a certain educational material at the center of activities in kindergarten over a period of up to four / five weeks. The inclusion of housekeeping and care activities in connection with gardening activities and the care of pets led to the specification of this conceptual innovation.

The kindergarten teacher was involved in the German Froebel Association , founded the professional organization for kindergarten teachers, after-school care workers and youth leaders in 1912 , and was a co-founder of the Froebelsch Nannies Working Group , which was launched in 1926. But she was particularly interested in the Berlin Froebel Association in Berlin-Niederschönhausen , which was forcibly dissolved in 1942 because the board was predominantly Jewish. Anna Wiener-Pappenheim taught the girls Froebel pedagogy at the association's nanny school.

After the National Socialists came to power, Anna Wiener-Pappenheim had to stop more and more of her activities in kindergarten and Froebel education because of her Jewish relatives . Protected by friends, she was able to survive the Nazi dictatorship.

Part of her estate is in the Ida-Seele archive .
