politics

Goldenberger, who had joined the Bavarian People's Party (BVP), was Minister of State for Education and Culture in the government of the Free State of Bavaria from October 14, 1926 to March 15, 1933 during the Weimar Republic .

Under Prime Minister Heinrich Held , Goldenberger dealt with the question of the ban on the social democratic children's organization "The Reichsarbeitsgemeinschaft der Kinderfreunde ", also known as " The Falcons ". Despite pressure from the Catholic Church and parts of his ministry , Goldenberger initially acted on hold. In 1930, the participation of school-age children in events of the "Kinderfreunde" was banned because the "Kinderfreunde" did not want to accept the conditions that appeared unacceptable to them (including renouncing the singing of socialist songs, wearing flags and badges , spreading social teachings, Criticism of the school and co-education ).

Since he had turned the National Socialists against him because he had dismissed several members of the National Socialist Teachers' Association from school service, he was imprisoned for several weeks soon after his term in office.
