Life

Erich Feldmann was born in Elberfeld in 1893 as the son of the factory owner Emil Feldmann. From 1911 to 1914 he studied philosophy, education, psychology, history and German at the University of Bonn . In 1919 he was at Adolf Dyroff with a history of philosophy work to Joseph Neuhäuser in Bonn doctorate . From 1922 to 1924 he was a lecturer at the German Institute for Scientific Education in Münster. From May 1, 1925, Feldmann headed the Pedagogical Institute in Mainz as a professor of pedagogy, which (connected to the TH Darmstadt ) was responsible for teacher training in Hesse. With his colleague and the head of the Institute for Psychology, Youth Studies and Healing Education, Erich Stern , Feldmann tried to merge the two institutes into one faculty, but this only took place in 1947 without their intervention. Since 1929 Feldmann was a private lecturer at the University of Bonn. In 1932 he founded the Institute for Ethnic Education in Mainz. In December 1933 the Pedagogical Institute in Mainz was dissolved by the National Socialist government and Feldmann was retired; on December 7, 1933 he was dismissed. Feldmann belonged to the Catholic German Center Party for some time , but in 1934 he joined the Nazi teachers' union and the SA and then worked as a training officer for Nazi organizations. He was also a member of the German Labor Front and the Nazi Lecturer Association . In 1937 he became a member of the NSDAP ; in the SA he rose to Hauptsturmführer in 1939. In 1933 he had a teaching position at the Philosophical Academy in Braunsberg. In 1939 he became a lecturer in Bonn. In 1940 Feldmann became an adjunct professor for philosophy and education at the University of Bonn. There he also taught military training. Feldmann gave several lectures as part of the lecture series " War lectures of the University of Bonn " initiated by the rector of the University of Bonn, Karl F. Chudoba . He belonged to a small group of professors around Chudoba (to which Kurt Tackenberg also belonged), who at the beginning of 1945, after the university closed in the winter semester of 1944/45, relocated to Göttingen with Chudobas before the advancing allies with the mineralogical-petrological institute, which was regarded as an important warrior . There, even after the occupation of Bonn by US troops, the administration was held with the formation of a separate, self-sufficient rectorate, although the Prorector Theodor Brinkmann, who remained in Bonn, had already negotiated with the occupiers to continue the university's operations.

After the end of the Second World War he was initially dismissed, but in 1950 he was given another teaching position at the University of Bonn (for "History of Education"), which he held until his retirement in 1958. In 1953 he founded the German Society for Film and Television Research (later the German Society for Communication Research), of which he was chairman for a few years from 1959. He devoted his other scientific work to the phenomenon of mass media, especially film and television. Feldmann died on September 19, 1978 in Bonn.

Feldmann's first marriage to Käthe Bertram began in 1925. In 1967 he married Johanna Dietz.
