North Sea Pedagogy
The North Sea Pedagogy was a school institution in Wyk auf Föhr that was part of the reform pedagogy and existed from 1908 to 1940.
The North Sea Pedagogy saw itself - analogous to the rural education homes that went back to Hermann Lietz - as a lake education home and was opened in 1908 with 38 local and 27 foreign students. The doctor Carl Gmelin and the North Sea Sanatorium, which he directed, played an important role .
From 1929 the school led to the Abitur, which was taken as an external examination. This year the number of students reached a record high of 205.
In 1940 the North Sea Pedagogy Department had to be closed because its educational concept , which was based on holistic individual development, could not be reconciled with the National Socialist ideas of discipline and discipline.
