Otto Eberhard

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Otto Eberhard (born November 28, 1875 in Ludwigslust ; † September 26, 1966 in Hohen Neuendorf ) was a German Protestant theologian and religious educator .

Life

The pastor's son Eberhard attended school in Ludwigslust and in Brandenburg / Havel until he graduated from high school in 1893. He studied Protestant theology in Erlangen with the traditionalist Theodor von Zahn and the dogmatist Reinhold Seeberg , Greifswald and Rostock until 1897 and completed his preparatory service in Neukloster . In 1901 he became rector of the elementary school in Zarrentin (Mecklenburg) and at the same time director of the advanced training school (a forerunner of today's vocational school ). In 1908 he was appointed by the Thuringian state government as seminar director to Greiz to reorganize the teachers' seminar. In addition, he was entrusted with the introduction of the state advanced training school. In 1914 he was appointed school councilor. After the reform of the seminar training, he entered the civil service waiting status in 1927 and moved to Hohen Neuendorf . 1927–1930 he was a lecturer at the Religious Education Institute in Berlin with Friedrich Delekat . In 1933 Gauleiter Fritz Sauckel put him from waiting to retirement.

From 1945 Otto Eberhard worked for a short time in Berlin-Pankow as a lecturer for religious methodology in the first catechetical lay course. From 1947 to 1949 he worked as a Latin teacher at a Berlin high school and from 1951 to 1952 he taught Christian teaching at this school.

Eberhard was against the uneventful memorization of religious instruction and wanted to start from the everyday life of children in order to anchor faith and ethics. This included lively narration and re-enactment of biblical stories. Simply listening to the word of God is not enough, as opposed to religious education in Karl Barth's environment .
