DINTA
The German Institute for Technical Work Training , or DINTA for short , was dedicated to scheduled vocational training and the training of managers for German industry. It was created in 1925 in Düsseldorf , the founding director was Carl Arnhold (1884–1970). The institute received financial support from the United Steelworks under Albert Vögler .
One aspect of the establishment was the intention to free the worker from the loneliness of his isolated partial function in the manufacturing process and to overcome the hostile opposition between employer and employee in the economic system. For this reason, sports training, which was ultimately aimed at increasing productivity, was also promoted. Gyms, sports fields and sports equipment were provided free of charge by the companies. The DINTA concept was followed by factories in Hamborn Westende and the rest of the Ruhr area. The great time of the miners in Ruhr area football came into being .
DINTA also ran training workshops, which were supposed to be an instrument to try out ergonomic concepts and the idea of the "operational community" in practice. There was a considerable continuity in the operational policy concepts of DINTA, which were reformed after 1933 in terms of racial hygiene.
At the autumn conference in 1932, Adolf Hitler gave a lecture to the Dinta. Leopold Ziegler reported about it:
“At that time I found the vast majority of representatives of the German (and Austrian) iron and iron processing industry enchanted and bewitched staring at Hitler. His imminent rise to state leadership was not only considered inevitable, but actually wanted and longed for. "
After the National Socialists came to power, DINTA tried to maintain its influence. The institute was renamed German Institute for National Socialist Technical Work Training while retaining its abbreviation . It offered the Reich Ministry of Labor a collaboration; however, from the regime's point of view, it was suspicious of wanting to continue to represent the interests of entrepreneurs. In addition, the German Labor Front and its office Beauty of Work now appeared as competitors .
The neurologist and psychiatrist Walther Poppelreuter , who had become a member of the NSDAP in 1931 and worked as a consultant to the institute from 1933, played a key role in the adjustment process .
