Live and act

Hans-Windekilde Jannasch was born in 1883 in the Eskimo settlement of Nain, in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador , as the son of the preacher and missionary of the Moravian Brethren Hermann Theodor Jannasch (1849–1931) and his wife Marie, née Miertsching his school education and then his teacher training at Herrnhut schools. There he met Martin Luserke , for example . The educational reform approach (e.g. with B. Otto, but also with his colleagues, who were also influenced by the Moravians) shaped him deeply and influenced his educational work in practice and teaching.

Hans-Windekilde Jannasch then taught at Herrnhuter and Free Schools as well as at the Wickersdorf and Solling rural education centers . Then Jannasch worked from 1930 until his retirement in 1953 as a professor for practical pedagogy at the universities of education in Altona , Hirschberg in the Riesengebirge and Göttingen. His teaching practice in elementary school was the first pedagogical textbook to be approved for publication by the British occupying forces in 1947 after the National Socialist dictatorship.

Hans-Windekilde Jannasch married Adelheid, née Schmieder, in 1922, with whom he had two children. Jannasch died in 1981 at the age of 98 in Göttingen. His grave is in the small cemetery at Landschulheim am Solling. This cemetery with very few graves has design features of the Moravian Brethren. Jannasch's maternal grandfather was the Moravian missionary Johann August Miertsching (1817–1875), the only German to discover the Northwest Passage (1850–1854), and the author of a travel diary that is one of the standard works of German polar science.

Hans-Windekilde Jannasch emerged as an author of educational and theological works. Many of his publications are autobiographical or reflect his educational work. His autobiography Pedagogical Existence deserves a special mention , in which he tells vividly about his childhood. As a missionary son, he came to the boys' boarding school of the Moravian Brethren in Kleinwelka in Saxony. His experiences with his parents in Nain and his school days in Kleinwelka take up a large part of his autobiography. Against this background, his path to reform pedagogy and his very own work in it are to be appreciated in the following chapters of the autobiography. His last publication Spätlese tells of encounters with well-known personalities of his time, e. B. Hermann Hesse , Hermann Stehr , Fritz Mauthner and Friedrich Gogarten .
