Georg Reichwein

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Reichwein (born May 17, 1886 in Dorndorf ; † August 3, 1928 in Frankfurt am Main ) was a German educationalist .

Reichwein passed his Abitur in Hadamar and studied Romance languages , German , history and philosophy in Würzburg , Munich , Berlin , Münster and Halle (Saale) . There he received his doctorate in 1910 under Ernst Meumann and passed the first state examination in 1911 . He then taught in various schools until he voluntarily went to World War I in 1914 . After four weeks he left the house seriously wounded. From 1916 to 1927 he taught in Wiesbaden . From April 1, 1927, he taught as a lecturer and professor for history and civics at the Pedagogical Academy in Frankfurt am Main, but died in 1928 from the consequences of a war wound. His successor was the leading Nazi educator Ernst Krieck .

Already rich wine wrote as Studienassessor in the association's journal in 1919 past and present an essay on fundamental history didactic problems and political education . He dealt critically with the educational theory of the philosopher Eberhard Grisebach on the limits of education (1924), but agreed that there had to be limits for the state. He developed his own educational and "theory of the school ". In his essay from 1925 he was the first reform pedagogue of the Weimar period to use this term to grasp the connection between the institution and the surrounding society and to make it a program of humanities education for the first time. Up until now school was only thought of as a place of educational relationships. Similar intentions can also be found in Julius Gebhard (1923), the nationally thinking Krieck student Philipp Hördt presented the first book title ( Theory of the School , Frankfurt / M. 1933). But this approach lacked clear social science criteria and methods. It was not until the 1960s that these approaches were continued, e.g. B. by Wolfgang Kramp , Studies on Theory of Schools (1973). Helmut Fend's multi-volume theory of the school is the standard work today.

There is no relationship with the pedagogue and cultural politician Adolf Reichwein .
