Gerhard Linne

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gerhard Linne (* 1913 in Wolfenbüttel ; † October 25, 1975 there ) was a German historian , author and headmaster .

Life

Linne attended the humanistic high school Große Schule in Wolfenbüttel. After graduating from high school, he studied history in Heidelberg, Munich and Göttingen. There he received his doctorate in 1939.

He was then called up for labor service and then for military service. He took part in the Second World War in Flanders and France (rank of sergeant ), a. a. as an armed forces interpreter for French. In the military service he began to write books on regional studies.

After the collapse of the Third Reich , he first had to do labor in a prisoner-of-war camp before he was used there as an interpreter in the medical service. After his release from captivity, he initially engaged in journalistic activities, including a. literary essays for daily newspapers, because the British military government initially refused him entry into the school service. A scientist inquired at the Federal Archives that he had been a member of the SA from 1933 , which had "unreservedly affirmed the political reliability of his person."

“Der Punkt” (school newspaper of the Gaußschule ), the 1st post-war school newspaper in Braunschweig, 1st edition: Gerhard Linne was responsible for the content, Günter Gaus was the editor-in-chief .

It was not until October 1947 that he was hired as a teacher at the Gaußschule , where he initiated the first post-war school newspaper in Braunschweig and made a contribution to international understanding and the school theater. 1947-1949 Linne was part-time at the adult education center active in Wolfenbüttel in adult education. From 1949 he was active in the Sonnenberg International Working Group, where he organized seminars and supervised publications.

In the fall of 1951 he was appointed headmaster of the state new high school for boys in Braunschweig. The school's biggest problem was that the school building had been completely destroyed in the war and no longer had its own rooms. The parents' council elected in 1951 together with the alumni association had already started calling for a new building. In 1951 Linne initiated the school newspaper builds up! which became the common mouthpiece. He used the existing good political and economic relations to first put a call for tenders for a new school building in 1952 and, in 1953, to obtain funding from the state budget. The foundation stone was laid at the 125th anniversary celebration in 1953. In 1954, with the completion of the first construction phase, the new secondary school on Beethovenstrasse was rebuilt as a school for the then Braunschweig district . The inauguration of the entire new school building took place in September 1958.

Linne was a pedagogical concept of wholeness education, he understood “school as a higher form of existence”. He founded numerous working groups at the school (there were already 21 in 1954) and promoted integrative forms of teaching, e.g. B. also the development of exhibitions or school theater performances. He supported the establishment of own sports departments, some of which later became independent clubs, as well as the student exchange with France.

In 1972, even before it was passed by the Conference of Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs in 1976, the school was one of the first grammar schools to have developed a practicable concept for reforming the upper level and to take part in a teaching attempt. The concept of the Gymnasium Neue Oberschule provided for compulsory subjects that were to be taken all the way up to the Abitur, but could not prevail against those of the Ministry of Culture.

Linne took early retirement for health reasons; on May 2, 1975, his successor Horst Strebe was appointed.

plant

Linne began in the military from 1942 to publish travel and country descriptions about Flanders and France. In these books Linne also represented positions of National Socialist propaganda , e.g. B. a Germanic bond with the Flemings .

He continued fiction for a short time after the war, but then devoted himself to educational and historical topics.
