Günter Köppe (born October 13, 1939 in Merseburg ) is a German sports educator and university professor .

Life

Köppe began an apprenticeship as a locomotive fitter in the German Democratic Republic after he had been refused a university course. After moving to the Federal Republic of Germany in 1959, he passed the West German Abitur in Waldbröl , then studied to be a primary school teacher at the University of Education in Bonn and then worked in the school service (elementary and secondary school). In the 1970s, Köppe accepted a position as an assistant at the University of Education in Bremen . He then went back to the University of Education in Bonn and worked there under Heinz Denk . In the early 1980s, Köppe became an academic adviser at the University of Education in Göttingen and moved to the University of Göttingen after the transfer of the sports department to the Institute for Sports Science at the Georg-August University of Göttingen had been integrated. In 1984, Köppe's doctoral thesis on the subject of “Concept for practical classroom analysis on the basis of model theory as a contribution to the scientific guidance of practical school studies in sports teacher training” was accepted in Göttingen. From 1993 he worked at the Justus Liebig University in Giessen as a substitute professor for sports education and in 1996 took up a full professorship there with a focus on sports didactics. He retired in 2004. Due to illness, his ability to move around deteriorated in his last years of service.

Köppe's research focus was in the areas of school sports (including swimming), sports teacher training and the worlds of movement and life of children. Together with Jürgen Schwier, he is the editor of the primary school sports manual, which was published in 2003 and was classified as a standard work. In 2002, Köppe published the work "A small (different) sports didactics from a sports teacher 's point of view". In 1997, together with Rolf Dieckmann, he was the editor of the book "Multiple Sclerosis and Sport".

From 1981 to 1987 Köppe sat on the board of the German Association for Sports Science and was one of the first authors of the "DVS Protocols", the forerunner of the series of publications "Writings of the German Association for Sports Science". He also initiated the foundation of the “Practical School Studies - Empirical Teaching Research” commission within DVS.
