from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Abmeier (born June 17, 1889 in Einum ; † May 29, 1953 in Hildesheim ) was a German educator and university teacher.

Life

The son of a nurse attended the Josephinum Hildesheim until he graduated from high school in 1909 and studied German, history and ancient languages in Münster , Breslau and at the Ernst-Moritz-Arndt University Greifswald until his doctorate in 1912 and the first state examination. Abmeier then completed the practical year at the teachers' seminar in Habelschwerdt . From 1914 to 1918 he worked as a temporary seminar teacher there as well as in Peiskretscham , Proskau and Paradies . There he was a full seminar teacher until 1926. Between 1922 and 1926 Abmeier represented the German Center Party in the Reichsrat (Germany) for the province of Posen-West Prussia . After the seminars were closed in 1926 he became a lecturer, in 1927 professor of history and civics and deputy director of the cath. Pedagogical Academy Bonn under Georg Raederscheidt . In 1930 he was appointed the founding rector of the new Pädagogische Akademie Beuthen in Upper Silesia (since 1933 a college for teacher training ) which, like Bonn, only accepted Catholic students of both sexes.

At the beginning of 1934 he was given leave of absence because of his criticism of National Socialism and from 1935 worked as a teacher at the Gymnasium Fridericianum Glogau ( Lower Silesia ).

After the war ended in 1945, Abmeier was employed by the British military government as a department head for schools and as a sports officer for the Hildesheim district government . On January 18, 1946, he was appointed permanent director of the new teacher training college in Alfeld (Leine) by the senior president. In the first academic year 1946/47 it had 110 enrollments at first, then around 50 over several years, with a denominational ratio of around 85 Catholic students and 15 Protestant "and other" students. The lecturers selected by Abmeier consisted predominantly of men; since March 1, 1950, the only woman was Dr. Ludgera Kerstholt. Of the 51 graduates from the first course in 1946/47, 39 were male and 12 female. After graduation, the "First Examination for Teaching at Primary Schools" was taken. It consisted of a written term paper and an oral examination in educational science and several school subjects. Between 1947 and 1955 510 students completed their studies in Alfeld, the average age was 27 years.
