from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Franz Georg Johannes Richter (born March 20, 1882 in Dresden , † January 29, 1944 in Frankfurt am Main ) was a German educator and professor at the University of Leipzig .

Life

After completing his training in Dresden-Friedrichstadt, Richter was an elementary school teacher with a very good final grade, which entitled him to study. From 1905 to 1909 he studied philosophy, education, German, history and religion in Leipzig. In 1909 he received his doctorate there for Dr. phil. in pedagogy (topic: the development of the arts education thought as a contemporary cultural problem ). In this he saw the art education movement facing the task of comprehending social progress through a comprehensive aestheticization of life.

In October 1918 Richter joined the Minerva Masonic Lodge on the Three Palms . From 1919 to 1924 he was a member of the liberal democratic DDP . In 1924 he was appointed director of the new Pedagogical Institute in Leipzig and was given the title of professor. From 1928 to 1933 he was a full honorary professor for didactics at the Philological and Historical Department of the Philosophical Faculty of the University of Leipzig. In 1933 he was dismissed under Section 4 of the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service due to his membership in the DDP and his membership in a lodge. In 1934 he moved to Frankfurt am Main, where he and his wife were killed in a bomb attack in 1944.
