Erhard Hischer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Erhard Hischer (born June 1, 1925 in Neustadt OS ; † October 7, 2005 in Eichstätt ) was a German psychologist and professor of social education .

Live and act

After graduating from high school in 1943, Hischer was called up for military service in the Air Force. After several months as a prisoner of war, he moved to the vicinity of Dortmund and later to Straubing . He initially earned his living in agriculture and as a carpenter. He completed training as a primary school teacher and worked as such for three years. Hischer then studied psychology at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich . He completed his studies with a doctorate . As a graduate psychologist, he worked for nine years in the correctional facilities in Kaisheim and Niederschönenfeld . With regard to the rehabilitation of young lawbreakers , Hischer advocated full-time parenthood in so-called SOS families :

It is above all conceivable that more numerous individual SOS families would make some juvenile detention centers superfluous. It is precisely the goals of the educational penal system that could be achieved in such families with a higher success rate. With such a rehabilitation program based on family upbringing and appropriately coordinated, there would be the possibility of adding another mode to the conventional parole. Those who stumbled, who were previously sent to prison for the first time, could, as a rule, be brought up for an SOS family upbringing .

In 1964, Hischer received a call as a lecturer in psychology at the then Pädagogische Hochschule Ruhr, Essen department and six years later - after completing his habilitation - a call as professor for the chair for didactics at the special school for the physically handicapped and curative education at the then Pedagogical University in Dortmund . Finally, in 1976, he took over the chair for social education at what was then the comprehensive university and now the University of Eichstätt . In addition, he taught curative education for many years at the Dillingen Academy for Social Education .

Hischer, who was the father of three children, had scientifically accompanied many research projects and actively worked on the curriculum committee at the State Institute for School Quality and Educational Research , and also prepared many psychological reports. In addition, he was the founder and director of the BPB publishing house in Eichstätt and was still active as a journalist himself.
