Martin Luserke (born May 3, 1880 in Berlin - Schöneberg ; † June 1, 1968 in Meldorf , Holstein ) was a German educator , bard , writer and theater maker. He was one of the most important personalities in German reform pedagogy and is considered a pioneer of today's experiential education . He was the founder of the first German educational reform school located on an island in the sea and the initiator of the only theater hall in a German school . The introduction of the " performing game " ( amateur play ), which is differentiated from professional theater, into school and youth work is regarded as an outstanding educational achievement of Luserke . This was also integrated into the youth movement . He is therefore considered to be the founder of amateur play in schools in Germany. The terms "movement game" and "performing game" go back to Luserke. Luserke was the first educator to develop his own theory of school theater.

Life

Childhood, youth and family

Martin Luserke, born in Schöneberger Großgörschenstraße, was one of three sons of Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Luserke (1851-1931) and his wife Amalie Elisabeth (* 1855), née Lindhorst, who came from Westphalia . The Luserke family originally came from Breslau in Silesia , on their father's side they had been carpenters for many generations . After completing an apprenticeship as a bricklayer at the age of 14, his father had studied at the Technical University of Aachen on a scholarship without a school leaving examination . He then worked as a technical draftsman in the construction of the Anhalter Bahnhof and later worked as a site manager. As an examiner for a Berlin building construction department, his family was able to afford their own house in the middle-class Tempelhofer Kaiserin-Augusta-Straße.

In his childhood and youth, Martin Luserke had the opportunity to get to know the port of Hamburg , the Elbe and the German North and Baltic Sea coasts , including the East Frisian island of Spiekeroog and the island of Helgoland in the German Bight by sailing boat and steamship . According to his mother's written recollections, he was drawn to the sea at a very early age. However, the parents denied their son the desire to go to sea. He is described as a lively and imaginative child and evidently did not shy away from daring to experience the sea and the waves.

Luserke is said to have read works by Schiller from the age of ten , and Shakespeare , Goethe and Ibsen at the age of 13 - extensively and with great intensity. He is said to have had his first contact with the theater at the age of around fifteen at the Schauspielhaus Berlin , where he witnessed a Max Reinhardt production of the play Wilhelm Tell based on Friedrich Schiller . However, his imaginative expectations, which had formed through previous reading of the work, are said to have been grossly disappointed, which was apparently due to the distracting backdrop that he found exuberantly lush. His own images in his head could not be reconciled with the illusion theater on the professional stage. This was possibly an occasion for him to draw his conclusions for his own later theatrical work.

At the age of fifteen, Luserke broke with his parents' home. One of the main reasons for this is the moment when his mother stole a secretly read five-volume complete edition of William Shakespeare and burned it. Thereupon the student Luserke tried to finish the interrupted reading of the last play The Storm for himself.

Thirty-eight years later, the nationwide Nazi book burning on March 10, 1933, Luserke had to perceive as a déjà vécu experience , as a limitation of his latent aspirations for self-determination.

His break with his own parental home, dated around 1895, was based on a petty-bourgeois family life, which he found restrictive and “unhappy”, with great authority and “cold” religiosity, in which secular literature or literature characterized as unchristian had no place. As a child, Luserke was locked in the basement of the house as a punishment, on the wall of which he wrote “Boy arrest facility!” In chalk. Free thinking, discussing and acting seemed to him to be of very special importance, also for his later students, colleagues and employees. Other opinions and life plans were therefore not a reason for exclusion for him, but actions against the “school community” (community).

In 1908 he married Annemarie Gerwien (1878-1926), daughter of the Prussian lieutenant colonel Paul Vincent Gerwien (see: Sentence of Bolyai-Gerwien ), whom he had met through his work for the Free School Community of Wickersdorf . She worked there as a housekeeper from 1906. In 1910 the couple had a daughter, Ursula, and then three sons: 1912 Klaus, 1914 Heiner, 1918 Dieter.

Luserke was called "Lu" and his partner "Frau Lu" by the students at the Free School Community of Wickersdorf and later at the School by the Sea . "Lu" was still used by his students at the Meldorfer School of Academics .

Between 1938 and 1968 Auguste Schwarting ran the household for him. His daughter Ursula also looked after him in the last years of his life.

At the instigation of his parents, Luserke did not attend a state school, but first the boys' school of the Moravian Brethren in Berlin. His strongly pietistic parents sent him at the age of fourteen for teacher training at the Moravian teacher training college in Niesky ( Lausitz ) in Lower Silesia , where he completed his teacher’s examination in 1900. He met Hans-Windekilde Jannasch for the first time where the arts were more emphasized than in state schools . Between 1900 and 1904 Luserke was obliged to work as an elementary teacher and home educator at the grammar school in Niesky in order to pay off the costs of his training in this way. He played the viola in the city's lovers orchestra . During this time he became increasingly alienated from Pietism. He moved to Thuringia and from 1904 studied mathematics and philosophy at the University of Jena .

In 1905 he went on a marine study trip to Brittany , which turned into a hike of several months through the area of ​​the Celtic Stone Age culture. Luserke on Île-Molène is said to have been inspired by the lecture of a bard regarding his own future work to use oral and written traditions such as sagas and legends . A nearly two-month hike through Italy (1906), where he sat as a teacher in Florence , and trips to Egypt and Norway later followed this international experience. In Italy he reflected on his relationship to the profession as a teacher and had doubts about the pedagogical method he had learned, which seemed to him to be "infinitely powerful". He came to the decision to become a “modern teacher”, “to hurry ahead of mankind and to realize bold dreams”. From this, from reading a book by the reform pedagogue Hermann Lietz and a visit to him, he turned to reform pedagogy.

Disappointed by the academic teaching and by the concept of classical pedagogy conveyed at the time , he broke off his studies prematurely in 1906 and thus renounced a secure teaching career at state schools. Nonetheless, he was strongly influenced by his academic teachers, the Nobel Prize winner for literature Rudolf Eucken , Ernst Haeckel , Wilhelm Rein and later by Hermann Lietz. His idea of ​​an idealized “natural education for the development of attitudes” can be largely traced back to this, as can Eucken’s conviction of a unity of intellectual life and action. Johann Gottlieb Fichte's vision, presented by Eucken, of an independent schooling state, in which young people, freed from the constraints of the older generation, find spiritual and moral insight through their own actions, may have impressed Luserke against his family and religious background.

After Luserkes university professor Rein, at whose educational university seminar Lietz had also spent a year of training, called for the establishment of home schools in the mid-1890s, this new type of school provided a way out of the state school system of the imperial era for enthusiastic teachers. Luserke was drawn to it. The home schools were private, mostly secluded in rural surroundings with appropriate outdoor activities, combined with physical hardening and a life-reforming diet (mainly vegetarian ). The term home should tie in with the traditional family home and offer the students a kind of family substitute that does not exclude the family, but rather actively involve them in the work of the “school community”. The students should no longer only receive purely theoretical knowledge, but should be shaped ethically in terms of character (attitude). This had a didactic effect on all subjects, scientific and technical. The home schools criticized the social and cultural grievances in the German Reich, sometimes massively, but still felt connected to an idealistic “Germanness”.

For his literary work, Luserke himself names Adler , Freud , Jung , Klages , Nietzsche and Spengler as authors who shaped him. In 1931 Luserke graduated from the Maritime School in Leer , the helmsman patent on Little ride.

Professional development

1906: DLEH Haubinda

At Easter 1906 he joined the reform pedagogue Hermann Lietz and taught at his German Landerziehungsheim (DLEH) in Haubinda , Thuringia , at the time headed by Paul Geheeb . Three years earlier there had been a so-called “Haubinder Jewish Crash”, a dispute over the admission of Jewish students who were only to be accepted as pupils in exceptional cases, a request that Luserke did not take over when he later founded the school. At the DLEH, it was assumed that the pupil was “endangered by his innate evil”, a circumstance that led to extensive overprotection and very little freedom for the pupils (and teachers). According to Walter Benjamin , only Luserke and Gustav Wyneken formed an oppositional movement against the everyday military drill of the pupils in Haubinda. The resulting conflicts with the school management, but also the concealment of a planned partial sale of the school, led to the secession of the aforementioned educators.

1906–1925: Free school community Wickersdorf

In the autumn of 1906, a group of “educational rebels”, which in addition to Luserke also included Rudolf Aeschlimann , Paul Geheeb , August Halm and Wyneken, founded the free school community of Wickersdorf near Saalfeld in the Thuringian Forest . In addition to Wyneken, who is more likely to be described as a theoretician, essential pedagogical impulses should have come from the practitioner Luserke. Hans Alfken , for example, had a lasting influence on his concept of a directly experience-oriented didactics . Luserke worked at FSG Wickersdorf, for example, with Hans-Windekilde Jannasch , Peter Suhrkamp and Bernhard Uffrecht . Luserke's first amateur plays and stories were written at this new country school . Please refer

He acted as the primus inter pares of the comradeship of the bears , an almost family-like group consisting of about ten students and a teacher. In the logic of comradeships, these students were bear cub , Luserke bear . Ernst Herdieckerhoff and Ernst Putz were among the bears .

In 1910 (other source: 1911) Luserke was appointed headmaster by Grand Duke Georg II of Saxony-Meiningen , who was also known as the "Theater Duke ". The reason for this was Wyneken's known pedophile attacks against schoolchildren, which later led to the so-called "Eros scandal" and, in some cases, to court proceedings and Wyneken's loss of the school license. In the spring of 1912, Luserke subsequently created school books and teachers' books for the administration of the first six years of the FSG Wickersdorf's existence , as Wyneken had completely omitted this until 1909 or had done it incompletely from 1909. Until 1914 and then again from 1922 to the spring of 1925, Luserke took on the role of headmaster. His assessment has been handed down: "In the present, the school has degenerated into a mere preparatory institution and an institute for issuing authorizations, and the family no longer has time to carry out educational tasks."

In 1912 Luserke's first amateur plays appeared, which he performed from 1906. His first work on the art of dance was also published: "The art of dance should open up a path on which this strong instinct can again freely penetrate and raise us above ourselves".

In the meantime, from the outbreak of war from 1914 to 1917, Luserke was a soldier in World War I , most recently as a non-commissioned officer. Severely wounded and his head marked for his life (hence the headgear that was typical for him later), he was taken prisoner by the French . In 1917 he suffered a nervous breakdown and was therefore sent to Switzerland as a rehabilitation measure, where he remained until 1919. In a much older source it is said that Luserke called Wyneken back to FSG Wickersdorf immediately after the November Revolution in 1918 and gave him the school management there again after the Wyneken state government had been deposed. In doing so, Luserke pursued the goal of dissolving the camp formation that had arisen from Luserke and Wyneken supporters and opponents.

In 1919, under the influence of the November Revolution, Luserke wrote Volume 3 of the series Practical Socialism edited by the Marxist Karl Korsch , after George Bernard Shaw was the author of the second volume. Luserke called for a socialist ethic of work that had to follow social goals. Under editor Theodor Etzel , Luserke worked alongside Hans Brandenburg , Richard Euringer , Ludwig Klages , Manfred Kyber , Rudolf von Laban and Hans Reiser for the magazine Die Fahne , published by the beautiful Walter Seifert Verlag .

Back in the Free School Community of Wickersdorf , Luserke tried to counter the recurring pedophilia cases and the repeatedly flaring up confrontations with Wyneken, in the context of which the issue was contradicting educational ideas. First, together with Rudolf Aeschlimann and Paul Reiner, he formed the so-called “ triumvirate ” against Wyneken and his pedophile followers in the college before it finally came to secession .

1925–1934: School by the sea in Loog on Juist

Together with his colleagues Rudolf Aeschlimann , Fritz Hafner and Paul Reiner as well as other employees, he wanted to venture “to the edge of the habitable world”. Together with these colleagues, he founded the Schule am Meer foundation on October 4, 1924, and opened the reform pedagogy school by the sea in Loog on the North Sea island of Juist on May 1, 1925 , which he had explored with some colleagues and students at Whitsun 1924.

As a result, he literally built the school by the sea out of nowhere , in which he wanted to achieve a “synthesis of spiritual and life education ”.

Sixteen pupils moved with Aeschlimann, Hafner, Luserke and Reiner from FSG Wickersdorf to Juist, including Herbert von Borch , Walter Georg Kühne , Günther Leitz , Arne Skafte Rasmussen and Ove Skafte Rasmussen . He involved them in a "travel cooperative" in the reclamation of the Loog and in protecting the coast of the Juist sandbank .

“Luserke was looking for a place for the school on the seashore, the Nordic original home, where the ebb and flow of the ebb and flow of the tide bring people into inner movement. He was looking for an environment - in this case an island world - that challenged self-assertion in doing. That doing this also means practical work was a matter of course in such an environment and was part of life and education, of life in general. What is later dealt with in the formulation of agitur ergo sum from a human perspective is well laid out in the idea of ​​founding the school by the sea on Juist. "

- Kurt Sydow , 1980

While the journalist and music critic Herbert Connor advertised the Schule am Meer in the morning supplements of the Berliner Börsen-Zeitung , Luserke was able to win the concert pianist, conductor and composer Eduard Zuckmayer as music teacher, choir and orchestra director for the Schule am Meer , and later also the pedagogue Friedrich Könekamp , Walter Jockisch , Heinrich Meyer , Max Oettli , Günther Rönnebeck and Kurt Sydow . With Zuckmayer, the choir and orchestra and amateur theater groups from the Schule am Meer , Luserke undertook numerous guest tours through Germany during the school holidays, which received very positive media attention. Luserke was involved as a copywriter on compositions by Zuckmayer and also got to know his brother, the writer Carl Zuckmayer ( Der Hauptmann von Köpenick , 1931), who was visiting and working in the school by the sea .

From 1930 to 1931 the theater hall of the school by the sea was built for the "performing play" ( amateur play ) Luserkes . Please refer

With the support of the Prussian Ministry of Culture and the Berlin Central Institute for Education and Teaching, it was planned to set up the school by the sea on Juist as a game center and training facility for educational game leaders. Shortly after the handover of power to the National Socialists, Luserke wrote in the school's logbook: “Here in the sea and ice it can seem that Berlin has become a madhouse. Of course, the collapse of this madhouse must also destroy our work. ”At Easter 1934 the school was closed against the background of anti-Semitism and the National SocialistGleichschaltung ”.

The layman or role play is now an integral part of many schools in Germany and in the teacher training program. Luserke's conception of the "movement game" is being taken up again by directors today.

Luserke, who understood the interaction of students and educators as a cultural community, was seen as a sensitive educator with versatile craftsmanship and artistic talent, which he used in the sense of a "life education " (= education based on real life ) of his students. In Wickersdorf and Juist, he combined the fundamental demands of reform pedagogy and elements of the youth movement , which he in turn influenced with amateur play , which included expressionist expressive dance. He saw the educational value of the amateur play, provided that it followed the inherent laws of the game and did not want to imitate the big theater. He wanted to have an impact on professional theater with his school-based “performing game”, which was always tailored to a large extent to the personality of the students involved. His “Performing Game” was inspired by performances by the educational institute for music and rhythm founded by Émile Jaques-Dalcroze in Hellerau near Dresden . Luserke presented his conception in many lectures and in written treatises that were included in standard works of dance movement in the 1920s.

"My faithlessness to the normally existing, my fixation on creating new things, is rightly attested to me."

- Martin Luserke

His pedagogical practice, which was very progressive for the time and included a holistic concept (see article on the school by the sea , section on physical formation ), was based on a popular folk way of thinking (see also: Völkische movement ), a " Nordic - Germanic " Ideal on mysticism and myths . In addition to strongly idealizing and romanticizing aspects, this resulted in parallels to the National Socialist movement that emerged during the Weimar Republic , which formed a conglomerate of currents that had existed for a long time.

Luserke distanced himself from ethnic or National Socialist terms such as “ racial purity ”, “degeneracy” or “ethnic blood poisoning”, and thus from the racist exclusion of Jews and other minorities, in his programmatic and civilization-critical paper with guiding principles for schools by the sea as early as 1924 clearly, even before Hitler's Mein Kampf appeared for the first time :

“We believe in the German essence as a spiritual and spiritual raciality that exists above all daily opinions and party struggles as a community of language and as a form and continuous formation through common cultural assets . We believe, however, that it does not just exist as nature, but that it is the responsibility of the living to determine what they do with this life body. We also add to this responsibility a powerful sobriety in relation to the mystical overestimation of the blood and the corporeal and the hermit and folk nervousness . We do not believe that all pathological phenomena in nationality are due to poisoning with strangeness, rather we believe that they are based on mental and emotional malnutrition and formlessness. "

- Martin Luserke

The statement, which is intentionally abbreviated to the first half of the sentence, intentionally falsifying it, makes it clear that neither Nazi eugenics nor the antonym " Aryans " used by the National Socialists against Jews and other minorities or a national attitude that is immune to other than "purely German" influences the seaside school held its own. Surrounded by Frisians , who see themselves more as an independent group with their own history, language and culture, that would also have been unrealistic. Instead, the cultural similarities should be worked out and emphasized in the SaM in order to contribute positively to the “formation of attitudes” (basic attitude, character). The background of a culture that has been influenced by Christian-Jewish culture for many centuries is consequently reflected both in the school by the sea and in Luserke's work (see also: Chapter Jewish-Christian symbolism in the article on the school by the sea or Luserkes during the Nazi era with reference Book title published on Judaism Obadjah and the ZK 14 ).

Home of the Annemarie and Martin Luserke family in the Loog on Juist , referred to as “do” within the school by the sea

For decades, Luserke worked naturally with a large number of Jewish pupils, parents, colleagues like Eduard Zuckmayer , architects like Bruno Ahrends , shop stewards like Margarete Elisabeth Dispeker , Hans Hecht or Walter Schatzki and sponsors like Alfred Hess , with socialist or communist-oriented people like Adolf Grimme , Horst Horster (1903–1981), Fritz Karsen , Hedda Korsch , Karl Korsch or Paul Reiner , with opponents or antipodes of National Socialism such as Alfred Ehrentreich , Walter Kaesbach , Ernst Majer-Leonhard , Herman Nohl , Robert Wichard Pohl , Christian Rohlfs or Alfred Weber , but also with people like Eugen Diederichs , Hans Freyer , Ernst Herdieckerhoff , Gunther Ipsen , Ludwig Kelbetz or Ludwig Roselius , who later supported National Socialism. This diversity of contacts is by no means astonishing from today's perspective, because the broad spectrum is characteristic of a society and thus also that of a school.

The school by the sea , organized on a grassroots and decentralized basis , in which pupils and teachers had equal voting rights, had a relatively high proportion of pupils of Jewish descent, around a third, compared to the state schools in the German Reich. The proportion in parenthood was correspondingly high. This fact and significant donations to the Schule am Meer Foundation by sponsors of Jewish origin led to the school being denigrated and insulted as the “Jöödenschool” ( Low German for Jewish school) during the Nazi era .

While most of the other reform pedagogical institutions were integrated into the Nazi education system, in the case of the School by the Sea this prevented Luserke's conviction of the personal autonomy of every pupil and teacher. Such autonomy as well as the democratic and decentralized school organization diametrically contradicted the National Socialist ideology of unconditional subordination of the individual. Luserke's maxim also contributed to this that the youth phase should have its own value. This value appears to be taken for granted today, but at the time it was one of the new discoveries that only emerged during the Weimar period and was partially revoked during the Nazi era.

In 1933, in an unsuccessful attempt to secure the continued existence of the school by the sea , Luserke declared in articles for educational magazines that he was willing to participate in the new state system. For his "Performing Game" he referred to the " Nordic - Germanic character" of Shakespeare's poetry. After January 30, 1933 , for fear of anti-Semitic attacks by local NSDAP supporters, his Jewish students switched to purely Jewish schools near their parents' home or emigrated abroad. Due to this loss of up to a third of the student body and thus also of their paying parents, other Jewish sponsors and the Jewish teachers, the private financing of the SaM got into difficulties, because the stage hall, which was completed in 1931, had to be paid off. Luserke's offer to the Hitler Youth from 1933 to take over the sponsorship of the Juister Landerziehungsheim is therefore to be seen as reaching for a straw . Initially quite interested, the Reich Youth Leadership rejected this in January 1934, referring to the financial aspect. Luserke then offered the state administration of the National Political Educational Institutions in Prussia to take over the school buildings, again in vain.

Luserke's pedagogical legacy can be summarized as “world empowerment through experience from one's own adventure and experience”. The direct “first hand” experience was of particular importance to him, both for himself and for his students. This approach corresponds to the core of today's experiential education , for which it can be considered a pioneer.

Luserke was a very talented narrator who, unprepared and immediately on demand from his students, was able to develop adventurous and imaginative stories. These were not entirely invented, but were fed partly from traditional sagas, myths and legends as well as from the experience of his own life and that of his students. In this way he was always able to captivate his audience, because everyone became part of the story unfolding before them in some way. Only when this was well received by his audience did Luserke later put it on paper, an approach which in part certainly contributed to his literary success.

1934–1938: Octopus ZK 14

Dieter (1918–2005) and Martin Luserke on board the Krake , around 1935

After the closure of the Juister School by the Sea, Luserke led a life as a freelance writer on a sailing ship . His childhood dream of going to sea had probably been concretized in his head since around 1929 and was gradually implemented from 1931. He put on the blazer in Juist in 1934, as long as the SaM chapter was not yet fully completed for him . After that, however, he never returned there, but kept in contact with colleagues and students, for example with Beate Köstlin (later: Uhse), Hubert H. Kelter , Jens Jürgen Rohwer and Kurt Sydow . With his " Krake ZK 14", which he knew how to use as a floating poet's workshop, Luserke, accompanied by his initially fifteen year old son Dieter (1918–2005), spent around four years exploring the coastal waters of the North and Baltic Seas , exploring old Viking sailing routes to explore. In doing so, for example, his most successful novel Hasko and his favorite work Obadjah and ZK 14 were created .

Luserke's most successful novel Hasko , published in 1936

There was no clear political positioning of Luserke vis-à-vis the Nazi system; Luserkes was not a member of the NSDAP . He apparently turned down National Socialist offers to teach at a Napola , as well as to work for the Völkischer Beobachter . Nevertheless, in 1935, together with two colleagues who were close to the Nazi system, he received the newly founded literary prize of the Reich capital Berlin , presented personally by Joseph Goebbels .

From July 30, 1934, everyone who wanted to be a full-time writer had to be a member of the Reichsschrifttumskammer (RSK). This profession applied to Luserke after 1934. The prerequisite for membership was, in addition to the “ Aryan certificate ”, an examination of whether the applicant had violated the Nazi ideology in the past. From March 1939 onwards, publishers and bookshops were responsible for the systemic conformity of the writers' work and personality. However, Luserke cannot be called a writer who was loyal to the line during the Nazi era.

Luserke was particularly successful in literary terms in the Third Reich , to which the motifs of his works - camaraderie, risk and practical test - contributed significantly, but also his emphasis on Nordic and Germanic in connection with the backdrop of the sea and coastal landscape he created. Luserke's literary publications contain - as far as can be proven today - no Nazi propaganda due to their tending to be surreal subjects, but contain ethnic references.

A preprint of his novel Obadjah und die ZK 14 or The happy adventures of a sorcerer appeared in the Völkischer Beobachter in 1936 . After that, the title was published by the German Book Association , which at least managed not to publish a single book with Nazi propaganda during the Nazi era. Luserke's books were then reprinted several times, also in the central publishing house of the NSDAP , the Franz-Eher-Verlag .

"Anyone who can love Obadjah has fully understood me."

1938–1968: Meldorf (Holstein)

In 2010 an information board was erected near the former house in Meldorf

From the end of 1938 onwards, Luserke overwintered in Meldorf ( Holstein ) without any plans and then had to stay on land because of the fuel and food allocation, which was blocked for private ships in 1939, and the mining of German coastal waters. Only after hibernating for the second time in 1940 did he say he settled there permanently. From this point, a variety of texts for his "freedom of movement" and was Vikings - trilogy . He continued his narrative work. Countless people visited his mystical storytelling evenings. With the Meldorfer BDM group he tied back to the "performing game".

In his small house on Jungfernstieg, his study dominated, which he called the “workshop”. Carvings that were made during his captivity around 1918 and that adorned the walls of the octopus' cabin can now be found in his study. The anchor lamp of his ship offered atmospheric , subdued light, the holiday pennant of the octopus , which once fluttered at the top of the mast on special occasions, now hung on the wall between the two study windows. The many schnapps jars discovered on ZK 14 in the spring of 1934 were used in his garden behind the house to delimit the middle bed .

From 1938 Luserke took part in the Greater German Poets 'Meeting (from 1941: European Poets' Meeting = German-occupied territories) organized by the National Socialist cultural propaganda . The Reich Minister for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda , who is responsible for literature , Joseph Goebbels , also specifically invited some writers who, like Luserke, were rather far removed from the regime.

By the beginning of the war, his works are said to have reached a circulation of approximately 1 million. Due to his level of fame, he was hired as a narrator in 1940 as part of the Wehrmacht troop support , but was able to evade it again at relatively short notice. He got to know Hugo Herrmann, who later became a teacher at the Meldorfer School of Academics .

During the Second World War , some of his printed stories and novels were published as field literature for the soldiers by the soldiers' library of the High Command of the Wehrmacht (OKW), General Wehrmacht Office, Domestic Department , for example Der Gryperspuk with a circulation of around 50,000-70,000 copies, Stories of the lake and beach or beach wolves , which in four editions (Bertelsmann Gütersloh, Zander Berlin, Hauschild Bremen, Willmy Nuremberg) reached up to 110,000 copies. Thanks to the small octave format used, these could easily be enclosed with the field post . The High Command of the Navy (OKM) was also the editor of Luserke's works, for example with an excerpt from Reise zum Sage in the series Soldiers Tell Tales . It should be noted that the OKW in particular also had works by unpopular authors printed.

In 1943/44 Carl Zuckmayer wrote a dossier for the US Office of Strategic Services (OSS) , the forerunner of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) , which was only published in 2002 and which also describes Luserkes and the school by the sea (see article School by the sea , section review ). This was possibly influenced by an antipathy towards Luserke, which Zuckmayer explicitly refers to in his remarks.

During the war in the air , parts of Luserke's manuscripts were lost due to fire in publishing houses, and proofs were also lost shortly before the third part of his Viking trilogy went to press. In 1945 he volunteered as a bard in Holstein camps where members of the Wehrmacht were interned. However, this was prohibited in July 1945 after the British military administration accused him of being close to the Nazi system because of his literary work during the Third Reich. Luserke's works were banned in the Soviet and US zones .

Therefore His published work came in the post temporarily out of focus, in part because of copyright issues had to be settled, resulting from the liquidation of publishers, the division of Germany into occupation zones and finally the German division were in East and West. At Voggenreiter-Verlag in Potsdam the royalties he was entitled to were on hold in a significant amount. For Luserke, who despite and because of decades of work as a teacher and headmaster at private country school homes, had no pension entitlement, this had serious economic consequences. A state pension was only granted to him late.

Through the mediation of Wilhelm Flitner with the Hamburg Senator Heinrich Landahl , Luserke received a teaching position at the Social Education Institute (SPI) in Hamburg, a financial relief, but at the same time a considerable burden because the train journeys between Meldorf and Hamburg lasted six to seven hours in the post-war period and the In winter, wagons that were often iced over remained unheated.

As a lecturer for amateur play , he worked from 1947 to 1952 at the Meldorfer School of Academics , his first teaching position at a state school. This high school (today: grammar school), at which his students referred to him as "The Captain" or even "The Master", while his colleagues called him "The Magician", he called his "work laboratory". In 1950 he named what he called the “movement game” in the then further developed and mature form “ Meldorfer Spielweise ”, which he characterized as an own style of amateur play that was developed together in a construction hut . His Shakespeare research had led Luserke to believe that Shakespeare's works had also been created in a construction site. For several years afterwards, Luserke remained connected to the "performing game" at the Meldorfer School of Academics .

His movement games were staged in excerpts during several “musical conferences” of the state government and discussed by a broad audience of educators from across Germany, in the presence of high-ranking officials from the Ministry of Education and later Education, including the Minister for Education, Wilhelm Siegel .

Together with the Meldorfer pedagogue Heinrich Lohse (1907–1998), Luserke founded the “Musical Holiday Courses” in Schloss Nehmten on Lake Plön , in which pupils from different educational institutions took part every year in order to train themselves musically and dramatically, including Bernd Rohwer and Friedemann Rohwer, two sons by Jens Rohwer.

Luserke conducted annual training courses at the youth group leader school in Bündheim near Bad Harzburg . In cooperation with the adult education center in Meldorf, readings and stories with up to thirty listeners took place in his study.

In his last years Luserke worked on completing his conception of the play of Shakespeare - comedies and his philosophy of life. When asked by a radio reporter for Norddeutscher Rundfunk on the occasion of his 75th birthday what had been the most decisive factor in his life for him, he replied:

"When I look back now, there are three things that have been decisive: one is the North Sea, to put it more generally, the other is upbringing, education, the pedagogical, and the third is the adventure of life."

- Martin Luserke, May 3, 1955

He died at the age of 88 in Meldorf and was buried in the East Frisian town of Hage next to his wife Annemarie († 1926). The grave site was abandoned in 2018. Martin Luserke's tombstone was transferred to the sandbank by the Juist Heimatverein and is to be positioned there in the dune cemetery within a small area for honorary graves.

Memberships

Martin Luserke was evidently a Freemason . In related publications he, his work and his works are mentioned several times. There is an essay by Luserke, written in 1914 and published in the weekly newspaper for Freemasons Der Herold , in which he, as head of the Free School Community of Wickersdorf, deals with the subject of Freemasonry and education . Elsewhere in 1926 it was mentioned in the communications from the Association of German Freemasons by the board member Prof. Dr. Georg Ehrig from Leipzig as “Br. Martin Luserke ”, whereby the abbreviation“ Br. ”(= Brother) specifically refers to his membership. During the period of National Socialism Freemasonry was banned. There was hardly any resistance to this.

criticism

  • The pedagogue, writer and publicist Martin Kießig , who knew Luserke personally, says: “Martin Luserke was one of the most peculiar and idiosyncratic figures of German intellectual life in this [20th] century, a talent of phenomenal breadth: a leader in the amateur play movement, educator and School reformer […], Shakespeare researcher, historian on the trail of the Vikings and Geusen , mathematically, musically, artistically gifted ”.
  • The pedagogue Hans-Windekilde Jannasch describes Luserke as the “center” of the Free School Community of Wickersdorf , where he saw him himself (as in Niesky and Haubinda ). Their “heyday in the years 1909–19”, minus two and a half years of participation in and imprisonment in the war, was “largely determined by Luserke's personality”. An "abundance of creative suggestions" emanated from him; his “versatile musical talent” had “fertilized the life of the school”; he knew how to create an atmosphere. He had "emigrated from Christianity even then" and "was on his way back to that magical Nordic view of the world that was later expressed in his literature and which prompted him to found his school by the sea on the island of Juist".
  • To the writer Carl Zuckmayer , who had met Luserke at the school by the sea and who had developed an antipathy towards him, the educator Martin Luserke appeared in 1943/44 as a "serious and very questionable case". He described it as "not without risk" because it "could have a strong influence on young people". He is “of considerable imagination”, possesses individual will, ability and level as well as an enormous talent “in the artistic, especially the theatrical”.
  • The musicologist Kurt Sydow : "I confess that through encounters with amateur play and legend, upbringing and teaching, that is, through the encounter with Martin Luserke, I started moving and found my own way through it."
  • The pilot and entrepreneur Beate Uhse describes Luserke in her autobiography as her “favorite teacher”. He was "a fantastic man", "generous and witty" and "understanding".
  • The journalist and former headmistress Anneliese Knoop-Graf , who focuses on the resistance against National Socialism , describes Luserke in relation to his literary work as "often idealistic glorifying" and as " rooted in the ideas of the youth movement ". In his books he treats “mostly mythical material from the dreamy and spooky world of the North Sea, the Wadden coast and its inhabitants”.
  • The educational scientist Barbara Stambolis claims without any evidence that Luserke is "an anti-Semite , promoted by the Nazis, but most of the money for his ventures came from Jews and as an educator he was part of the progressive camp".
  • The doctor of educator Horst Müller (1929-2020), in nearly fifty years of amateur dramatic theater experience with pupils, students and older adults and eleven own stage plays, postulated in his recent publication in 2016, it was "not proven" whether Martin Luserke been an anti-Semite be. The starting point of his remarks is a short passage in Luserke's stage play Grotesque Blood and Love from 1906, first published in 1912 and later revised again and again. This takes place in the High Middle Ages (around 1050 to 1250), when Jews were outsiders of the emerging Christian estates, had no access to the guilds , could only practice outlawed professions, were not socially and religiously recognized and were viewed with disapproval. According to Müller, Luserke's grotesque features a Jew held captive by a knight who is dubbed a "damned Jew dog" by him. This may not have been unusual for the High Middle Ages. Political correctness was demonstrably neither in the Middle Ages nor at the time this Luserke grotesque was on the agenda under Wilhelm II (see anti-Semitism (until 1945) and anti-Semitism ).
  • In her dissertation from 2017, Barbara Korte points out that Luserke created his characters, described as Jewish, in very different ways. B. as a negatively drawn poison mixer in "Blood and Love"., But also positively as a popular, nice "Mauscheltyp" with quite differentiated characteristics ( Moses. In: Der Brunnen If ). In addition, Luserke leaves it up to the amateur theater groups acting in each case to determine how they interpret the characters in their performances, because he does not give any stage directions. However, Korte claims that Luserke's classification as an anti-Semite, which has been made elsewhere, is insufficiently documented.
  • The author Gudrun Wilcke (pseudonym: Gudrun Pausewang) noted in her work on The Children's and Young People's Literature of National Socialism… on Luserke's amateur play -Groteske Blut und Liebe : “Nanu! - These are not National Socialist tones! And the end of BLOOD AND LOVE also sounds like a hint of criticism of National Socialism . ”She obviously refers to a reworking of the 1906 work published between 1933 and 1945.
  • Karl-Ulrich Meves , actor and voice actor from Hamburg, was a student at the Meldorfer School of Academics and an actor at Luserkes Bauhütten : Luserke “has [...] put the locomotive of my professional life on the right track. [...] That is why Lu has a place in my heart. "
  • The educational scientist Jürgen Oelkers describes Martin Luserke, Hermann Lietz and Gustav Wyneken as "outsiders". Stylizing them as “great educators” was part of a self-presentation through which one was looking for followers and customers.
  • The pedagogue Gertrud von Hassel assessed Luserke's work at the Meldorfer School of Academics as “a five-year, extremely happy and fruitful phase [...] which triggered positive developments among the students. These five years with Luserke were a godsend for the school. "
  • The pedagogue and journalist Rudolf Mirbt comes to the following conclusion with regard to Luserke's role for the performing game in school and youth work: "Without Martin Luserke, amateur play would never have developed as it was possible between 1920–1933."
  • With reference to Luserke's book Schule am Meer - a book on the growth of German youth straight from the original to the last , the educational scientist Klaus Prange believes that Luserke recognizes a “mixture of regressive ideology and artistic stylization”. “Suffering from the present” rescues itself “in a sense of form that is stabilized through a premodern state of art”. “The discarded fashions of yesterday” would “to a certain extent become the permanent garb of the unhappy consciousness”. "Striking" is "the parallel to [Rudolf] Steiner : the aestheticization of experience presents itself as world fate".
  • The sociologist and economist Alfred Weber addressed Luserke in an open letter that was published in the renowned Frankfurter Zeitung on February 28, 1925 : “I have hardly found such a beautiful, practical outline of the task of today's education at its highest level, and what you give about it is - this is the very best - only the theorization of your successful practice over many years. "
  • The educational and theater scientist Hans Peter Schöniger states: “… in educational circles and in the public [it was] very quiet about the person Martin Luserke in the past. This may have been due to the fact that many Martin Luserke, in his enthusiasm for the Nordic-Germanic world of myths (almost all of his stories deal with it), referred to the intellectual pioneer of National Socialist ideas. One must be allowed to argue about such an accusation (also in the course of a critical analysis of the topic of reform pedagogy and fascism). "

Martin Luserke Society

The Martin-Luserke-Gesellschaft was founded by the chairman of the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce and head of the Commerzbibliothek , Hubert H. Kelter . He also served as president of the society that wanted to preserve the work of Luserke. The Martin-Luserke company acted after the end of World War II as a client to books reissuing Luserkes as anthologies. Herbert Giffei (1908–1995) acted as editor .

Trivia

In his novel Unter Westfälischen Eichen , which was published in 2002, the pedagogue and author Reinhard Stähling brings together well-known German writers, psychologists and educators, including Martin Luserke, in 1930 to modernize the outdated German educational system. The plot is fictional, but most of the characters and the documents are real history, including the quotations. The author is concerned with the question of whether such a meeting and its results or the subsequent joint work of the participants could have limited or even prevented the rise of the National Socialists.

By the artists Alf Depser (1899–1990), Dieter Evers (1913–2009), Poppe Folkerts (1875–1949), Siegfried Frings (* 1946), Kurt Loderstedt (1915–1987), Christian Mühlner (1916–2008), Helmut Richter (1909–1994), Karl Stratil (1894–1963), Willy Thomsen (1898–1969), Carl Zuckmayer (1896–1997) and Eduard Zuckmayer (1890–1972) are known works that relate to Luserke and his Relate works.

(Quote: It seemed essential to remind people, that the post-revolutionary society must also meet the needs of the nation's intellectuals. This is what Martin Luserke, a popular novelist and educator, tried to do in an essay on work motivation published in 1919 as part of a series Praktischer Sozialismus ("Practical Socialism") edited by the philosopher Karl Korsch . Like Ruckhaber , Luserke thought it wrong to make a distinction between mental and physical labor. This led him to call for a "socialist" ethic of work to replace the bourgeois-idealist one based on this distinction, which only helped to perpetuate the hierarchy of classes. Under socialism people of all walks of life would be taught to work for one another and to accept discipline in order to achieve common goals. Where Luserke chiefly differed from Ruckhaber is in his belief that intellectual work is hardly "work" at all, but rather intrinsically pleasurable activity and therefore in some sense its own reward. As a result , he was not particularly concerned with improving the remuneration of intellectuals or cutting back on their hours of work. But he did think that workers of the mind needed special conditions if they were to serve society effectively. To make their different treatment acceptable to the majority of workers whose days were spent in hard, routine, labor, it was necessary to adopt the principle of meritocracy: in Luserke's utopia, examinations would be used to select the few needed for intellectual tasks, and These individuals would then be given non-monetary privileges and rewards, including the opportunity to experience joy in work. )

Europa-Verlag, Hamburg / Vienna 2002, ISBN 3-203-82030-7 , p. 21 f. - Quotation: “Goebbels himself founded his› Weimarer Dichtertreffen ‹in 1938, possibly as a reaction to the meetings in Lippoldsberg, popular with writers . The external reason for the poets' meeting was the › Week of the German Book ‹, a nationwide advertising event for the book and at the same time for the sponsored authors. With the poet meetings, Goebbels was not only pursuing the goal of providing the literary elite of the Nazi state with a pleasant forum. Goebbels primarily used them as a means of involving the most important authors in his propaganda activities and forcing them to make political commitments. For this reason, he also specifically had writers quoted to Weimar who were rather remote from the regime. Albrecht Goes, for example, or Martin Luserke, Georg von der Vring , Walter von Molo , Friedrich Bischoff and Ernst Wiechert , who had just been released from Buchenwald concentration camp in 1938 and had to take part in the conference on poetry and the reality of the people.
