Life

Heydorn passed the Abitur in 1935 at the Christianeum High School in Hamburg. Heydorn became a member of the Confessing Church as early as 1933 and did illegal political work from 1934 to 1939. He studied Chinese and English at the University of Hamburg . In 1938/39 he accepted a position as a German teacher in Wales for a year . His father fell seriously ill in 1939 and died in December. Heydorn returned to Hamburg and was drafted into military service when the war broke out .

In 1942 he obtained a diploma in Chinese language and literature while on study leave . In 1944 he deserted on the Western Front and became a British prisoner of war . In his absence he was sentenced to death by a German court martial. He did educational work in the prisoner-of-war camp.

In 1945 he returned to Hamburg and joined the SPD . In the first two electoral terms after the war (1946 to 1953) he was a member of the Hamburg Parliament . In 1946 he was a co-founder and first federal chairman of the Socialist German Student Union (SDS). The Hamburg citizenship elected Heydorn as a member of the Federal Assembly in 1949 , which elected Theodor Heuss as the first Federal President . In the 1950s he was a member of the Federal Board of Socialist Youth - The Falcons .

In 1950 he received his doctorate in Hamburg . In 1951 he married Irmgard Heydorn . He then switched to teaching at the University of Education in Kiel . In 1959 he was appointed associate professor at the Pedagogical Institute in Darmstadt-Jugenheim and in 1961 was appointed professor for education at the Frankfurt University of Education , which was integrated into the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main in 1967 . As a member of the "Socialist Support Society of the SDS" he was expelled from the SPD in the 1960s.

The personal and political biographies of Heinz-Joachim Heydorn and his wife Irmgard as well as Heydorn's relationship with his student Gernot Koneffke were literarily processed by Jan Koneffke in his novel Ein Sonntagskind .

Act

Heydorn represented an independent educational theory , the critical educational theory , which was critical of the existing educational system: For him, education was the process in which the human being as a subject enters his own history. Education is the ability of people to work in society and to act politically, but also to an aesthetic experience in which people visualize themselves. Education is therefore common property of humanity coming to itself in history, it is realized through an integrative community school for all children.

For this reason Heydorn fought resolutely against the tripartite school system from the start ; this school system reproduces the tripartite class structure of society in the Federal Republic of Germany.
