Konrad Paschen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich Wilhelm Konrad Paschen (born May 16, 1909 in Hamburg ; † February 1, 1992 ibid) was a German sports pedagogue and sports scientist and professor at the University of Hamburg for sports education.

Life

During his school days, he was sent to Sweden several times during the summer holidays to relax and regain strength. After graduating from high school, he studied physical exercise and geography at the universities of Munich and Hamburg. In 1932 he was one of the first to graduate from the independent course for high school teaching. Parallel to his legal clerkship, he was already teaching sports history and sports practice at the Institute for Physical Education. He had his home in the Bündische Jugend , but, unlike the majority, was not ready to transfer his tribe to the Hitler Youth . In 1936 he was released from civil service and moved to Switzerland, where he continued to work as a teacher at the Lyceum Alpinum Zuoz boarding school . Here he also became a member of the NSDAP at the end of 1936 ( membership number 3,774,958). When the war broke out, he had to return to Germany or declare himself a political refugee . From then on he worked in Germany for the naval intelligence service as a telephone listener for Sweden. He also passed his French interpreting exam, so that he soon became an intelligence officer in occupied France. He saw the end of the war at the post office in Marseille . While he was a prisoner of war in North Africa, he organized the camp high school with other teachers so that the young prisoners of war could do their Abitur. For this he achieved state recognition of the French-occupied zone.

After being a prisoner of war and denazification, he returned to school in Hamburg and in 1953 back to the university, where he first became a lecturer in pedagogy, then director and professor at the Institute for Physical Education. He became a member of the Education and Science Union and chaired its sports committee for more than ten years. He was close to the educational theory according to Wolfgang Klafki . Since he did 'physical exercises from the child', he was particularly committed to physical exercises in preschool and school, but his goal was the life-time sport that he shaped. He coined the term school sport misery , saw himself as "the best among the non-experts, as a sport theorist who has his approach to the loser in sport". In this respect he was closer to Margarete Streicher and Karl Gaulhofer than other German sports educators of his time. In many areas Paschen was ahead of his time, for example he evaluated the effects of daily exercise time in elementary school as early as 1967-69.

In 1971 Paschen took early retirement, but worked as a sports teacher in senior sports until the end of his life. The WorldCat has 302 works by / about him. His university-related estate is in the archive of the Lower Saxony Institute for Sports History .
