from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Franz Häußler (born May 25, 1899 in Saubersdorf ; † November 16, 1958 ) was an Austrian pedagogue, psychologist and high school director.

Life

Häussler attended an officers' school before taking part in the First World War . After 1918, Häußler studied psychology and graduated with Dr. phil. from.

In 1933, together with Fritz Redl , Häußler published the standard work "Introduction to Psychology", which was to appear in further editions until 1961. Häussler was also the author of numerous other textbooks in the subjects of philosophy, psychology, and education.

In 1934 Häußler founded the "Jung-Urania", which, as a youth organization of the Urania , should offer courses for children, young people and students. On the other hand, Häussler wanted to give a new political home to all those young people who were no longer allowed to meet officially due to the ban on the NSDAP in Austria and the dissolution of the NS associations. This made the "Jung-Urania" a cover organization of the National Socialists, which took over the functions of the Hitler Youth . The organization was officially banned in the Austro-Fascist corporate state dictatorship in 1937.

After the “ Anschluss of Austria ” in 1938, the “Jung-Urania” was transferred to the Hitler Youth, and in May of the same year, Häussler became block leader . Häussler later became a member of the NSDAP with membership number 7,677,385 .

During the Second World War , Häußler was from 1942 private lecturer in psychology at the University of Graz .

After the Second World War, Häußler was a teacher (D, F, Phil) at the Stubenbastei grammar school in the 1st district. From 1954 on, he headed the school for four years on behalf of the director who was appointed to the Vienna City School Board. As a teacher and director, he campaigned for a (interdisciplinary) "epochal lesson" on a broad humanist basis and the "educational trips" traditionally carried out at the school for the upper school classes.

He died suddenly while he was the definitive director of the school for a year. He was buried at the Döblinger Friedhof .

Honors

In 1965 in Vienna- Donaustadt ( Kagran ) the Häusslergasse was named after him. A commission of historians, which examined the historical significance of the namesake for Viennese street names from 2011-2013, classified the Häusslergasse as a case "with intensive discussion need".
