from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arnold Friedrich Siegfried Reimann (born October 10, 1870 in Bütow ; † June 2, 1938 ) was a Berlin high school teacher for German and history and a city school councilor. He advocated strongly nationalistic history lessons and was a leader in integrating the school subject in the spirit of National Socialism .

Life

Reimann was founded in 1900 in Berlin with a dissertation on the Nuremberg humanists family Pirckheimer doctorate . From 1904 to 1909 he taught at the Luisenstädtisches Gymnasium , he was district school inspector 1910-1913, director of the Margaretenschule 1914-1915, in 1916 he was city school council, in the revolution 1918/19 as a member of the DNVP, however, not confirmed as a school council and officiated from 1922 as Headmaster of the prestigious Gymnasium zum Grauen Kloster until April 1, 1933, when he retired for health reasons. He published numerous textbooks for history and German lessons. He supported timeless hero worship for ancient acts of war, such as the battle of Thermopylae , and the revision of the Versailles Treaty . His history books were not allowed in Prussia for a long time because they were too nationalistic. His adversary was the head of the admissions committee in the Prussian Ministry of Education, Siegfried Kawerau . From 1933 he changed the books in line with the new rulers, albeit too timidly, so that in 1935 he fell out of favor. Martin Löpelmann , an old NSDAP member in the Reich Ministry of Education , had previously supported him.

From 1923 to 1934 he was chairman of the Association of History Teachers in Germany , statutes unconstitutional in June 1933 and operationally compliant, the DC circuit of the association in the Nazi Teachers League , but was there by Moritz Edelmann displaced.

After the end of the Second World War, Reimann's Hindenburg and Ludendorff (Oestergaard, Berlin 1936) was on the list of literature to be segregated in the Soviet occupation zone .
