Hildegard Feidel-Mertz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hildegard Feidel-Mertz (born May 19, 1930 in Frankfurt am Main ; died October 23, 2013 ) was a German educationalist.

Life

Hildegard Mertz was born into a working-class household. She studied at the University of Frankfurt am Main and did her doctorate in 1963 with Theodor W. Adorno and Martin Rang .

From 1967 to 1972 she was employed at the Institute for Social Pedagogy and Adult Education at the University of Frankfurt, after which she became professor for youth and adult education in the social affairs department of the Kassel University . Her work focuses on the history of adult education, the history of workers' education, women's education and the exile of educators after 1933 , especially Jewish exile. Research into the Jewish rural education centers in Germany between 1933 and 1938 was also significantly influenced by her.

Together with Hermann Schnorbach, Feidel-Mertz built up the "Pedagogical and Political Emigration Collection 1933–1945 (PPE)", which is now in the German Exile Archive of the German National Library in Frankfurt. She was the editor of several works on the history of educational exile.

In 1977 Feidel-Mertz bought Richard Huelsenbeck's birthplace in Frankenau for her mother, a native of Franconia, and set up a small exhibition on the DADA movement there.
