Life

Dietfrid Krause-Vilmar lost his father in the war at the age of four.

He studied history, political science and educational sciences at the Philipps University in Marburg and Goethe University in Frankfurt and completed his studies with the state examination for higher education. He then started with Leonhard Froese at the Institute for Educational Sciences at the University of Marburg with a doctorate, which he completed in 1974 with the thesis "JH Pestalozzi and the Stäfner People's Movement".

In 1970 and 1971, Krause-Vilmar was a member of the founding advisory board of the Kassel University as an assistant representative of the University of Marburg . In 1975 he himself was appointed professor for educational sciences with a focus on the “social history of upbringing and education” at the university.

Initially, the themes of his work were the French Revolution , Enlightenment , Pestalozzi and the history of the teaching profession. Later other topics were added, such as reform pedagogy and especially schools after 1945. However, he devoted a large part of his work to the historical and educational reappraisal of the National Socialist German past .

Krause-Vilmar retired in 2005, but was then acting director of the Fritz Bauer Institute until 2007 , the first German interdisciplinary center to investigate and document the crimes of the Nazi regime - especially the Holocaust - and its effects on the present.

The result of the work of Krause-Vilmar were over 100 publications. He became particularly well known in connection with the reappraisal of the history of the Breitenau concentration camp set up in the Breitenau monastery during National Socialism (later called a labor education camp) in Guxhagen . The research on this part of the history of the monastery, which had not been adequately investigated until then, and the establishment of the associated memorial that he initiated is closely linked to Krause-Vilmar.

Recently, a study he co-authored on the Nazi past of the former mayors of Kassel Willi Seidel , Lauritz Lauritzen and Karl Branner has attracted more attention and the results have been controversially discussed.
