Life

From 1905 to 1918, Axel Henningsen worked as a teacher at several elementary schools in North Schleswig . On April 1, 1919 he became rector of the old town boys' school in Rendsburg.

In the Reichstag election on January 21, 1921, he ran for the conservative and anti-Semitic Schleswig-Holstein state party .

Henningsen founded the Heimvolkshochschule Rendsburg in 1921 and was invited to the Hohenrodter roundtables in 1925 and 1927 . At the time of the Weimar Republic, the Hohenrodter Bund was concerned with basic questions and theoretical development in popular education.

After the Second World War , Henningsen was first head of an elementary school in Kiel-Hassee, then advisor for adult education and, since 1947, senior government councilor and head of the elementary and secondary schools department in the Ministry of Culture of the Schleswig-Holstein state administration.

His son Jürgen Henningsen (Prof. for Educational Sciences) made a significant contribution to the scientific development of the New Direction during the Weimar period.
