from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Max Staubesand (born May 16, 1892 in Berlin ; † May 28, 1984 there ) was a German special school teacher who, alongside Reinhold Dahlmann and Kurt Prautzsch, significantly influenced special schools in the Soviet occupation zone and later GDR . He also deserves the credit of being a co-initiator of the first academic training facility for special school teachers in Germany at the Berlin University , which began operations in the winter semester of 1947/48.

Life

Staubesand completed training as a teacher at the royal teachers' seminar in Berlin-Spandau. The young teacher then worked in a so-called secondary class, which were affiliated with community schools, in Berlin-Lichtenberg. He also trained as an auxiliary school teacher with Arno Fuchs . Both educators campaigned for the abolition of secondary classes and their conversion into auxiliary schools . At the request of Arno Fuchs, Staubesand took over the 5th auxiliary school in Berlin in 1926, which he ran until 1933. He was committed to ensuring that mentally handicapped children and young people continued to receive the best possible education and professional prospects after finishing school. As a member of the KPD (since 1919), the Association of Socialist Teachers and Educators and the Free Teachers Union , he had to give up all his offices after Hitler came to power and was placed under police supervision. As a coal bearer, he barely keeps his family afloat. At the age of 56, dust sand still had to go to war.

After the collapse of the Nazi dictatorship, he was appointed to the Hauptschulrat in the Berlin district of Lichtenberg. Two years later, Laubesand took over responsibility for the entire special education system in Berlin. In doing so, he first turned his attention to the reconstruction of the Berlin special school system and the provision of lessons. This included, in particular, the recruitment and training of special school teachers ... Dustesand organized training and further education courses for special school teachers on behalf of the Hauptschulamt without losing sight of the university education that is worth striving for .

Dust sand was u. a. Member of the board of the auxiliary school teachers association Berlin-Brandenburg, since 1950 lecturer at the Institute for Special Education at the Humboldt University. He died on May 28, 1984 in Berlin.

Awards

Jamesand received several awards, for example he was a holder of the Patriotic Order of Merit in silver. Furthermore, the SED party leadership presented him with an honorary certificate in recognition of his more than 60 years of active and loyal party work. On the occasion of his 90th birthday, the SED Central Committee wrote : You can look back proudly on a meaningful life. It was shaped by the passionate and fearless class struggle in the Weimar Republic and against the barbarism of fascism . After his death, several special schools in Berlin (East) and in the GDR bore his name, which dropped the name again after the fall of the Wall.
