Heim- und Erzieher magazine

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The HEZ is an alternative educational magazine that has been published in West Berlin since 1972 as HEZ Heim und Erzieher magazine ( archived in the DNB until 1978 ) with DIN A4 staples, then with a new look from curative education Heim "Haus Tegeler See" came out until finally in 1990 Hans-Ullrich Krause from the Hohenschönhausen children's home became the editor of the periodical. The new name is HEZ Heimerzieherinnen magazine . HEZ has had a website since 2013, on which all articles are gradually being made freely available.

Topics and goals

The West German campaign against humanly unacceptable living conditions in the homes of the republic began towards the end of the 1960s. At that time there were committed “youth carers”, students and also “pupils” to radically criticize the home directors and those responsible for the homes. Among the active members of this movement and one of the HEZ makers was Manfred Rabatsch . The HEZ emerged as an organ of this movement. Experience reports and harsh attacks were printed. Educators had finally found a mouthpiece. Magazines like Diakonische Sozialpädagogik seemed too affirmative to them. In the journal B: E Concerning Upbringing , debates on socialization were presented too broadly and deliberately. But there was competition early on from the social work magazine . In the youth welfare offices one read with pointed fingers or under the table the sometimes violent criticism of the HEZ of the conditions in the administration. The high point of the extra-bureaucratic campaign was the "overturning" of the youth welfare day in Cologne in 1978, in which HEZ makers and authors such as Manfred Kappeler were actively involved.

The HEZ took over the tasks of the concept discussions in the 1980s. However, other specialist magazines joined in parallel, such as youth welfare from 1991 , which discussed questions of out-of-home care in Germany that were no less up-to-date. The HEZ had to stop its publication for a few years.

A resurgence resulted from the symposium “German-German Positions” in 1990 in Berlin. Peter Widermann and Hans-Ullrich Krause considered reviving the HEZ. A small editorial group made up of the two, as well as Margit Müller, Hans Potswadowski, Karlheinz Thimm , Henning Thill, Ulrike Herr and Hans Leitner started work. Initially, the topics revolved mainly around east-west questions with regard to home education, later on about home education in general. From the mid-1990s, topics such as home education and school, home education and psychiatry and others were dealt with.

Cooperations

Connections between the regional group Berlin of the IGFH and the HEZ made the HEZ a Berlin trade journal. The makers are voluntary actors. Five educational aid institutions are sponsors. There is a collaboration with the speakers in the Berlin Senate Department for Youth and with the Alice Salomon University .

Editorial office

The editorial offices and editorial locations of the HEZ changed; For some time the centrally managed children's and youth home “Haus Tegeler See” worked for the magazine, with Hans Podzwadowski, and later “Pro Max” edited it. Authors in this phase were e.g. B. the "anti-pedagogue" Heinrich Kupffer or the Berlin youth welfare coach Manfred Günther .

The DIN A 5 brochure on the Hohenschönhausen children's home has been published since the mid-1990s, and the IGfH board member Hans-Ullrich Krause is the publisher. In 2010 the concept was changed: colleagues outside the editorial team are asked whether they want to take responsibility for putting together a special issue. This is how thematic booklets such as “Adventure Education” and “Foster Children” were created.

The edition is 300. Five issues appear annually.
