Pedagogical Academy Bonn

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Pedagogical Academy Bonn existed from 1926 to 1933 (renamed a college for teacher training ) and again under this name from 1946 to 1962, before it was renamed the Pedagogical College Bonn.

On April 1, 1926, the Prussian minister of education, Carl Heinrich Becker, opened the Pedagogical Academy in Bonn intended for Catholic students who wanted to become primary school teachers with academic training. The first director of the academy was Georg Raederscheidt until his impeachment in 1934, his deputy was the center politician Hans Abmeier (educator) . The academy was rebuilt from 1930 to 1933 by the architect Martin Witte . Important professors were z. B. Adolf Bach , Ernst Broermann , Johannes von den Driesch , Friedrich Schneider . In 1933 Bonn was the largest educational academy in Germany.

In April 1933 it was renamed a college for teacher training (HfL) by the National Socialist Reich Education Minister Bernhard Rust and continued in 1934 under the National Socialist Director. In 1933 the teaching staff was reorganized in the Nazi direction and numerous lecturers were dismissed (e.g. Joseph Antz , Hans Karl Rosenberg ) or returned to school. The new university director was Josef Gördel (1890–?) Until 1941. During this time, numerous important Nazi educators took up professorship positions: according to the SD advisor Heinrich-Josef-Nelis . In 1939 the HfL was closed due to the war.

In April 1941, however, the HfL became a teacher training institute that no longer accepted high school graduates, but only trained school assistants to meet the need for teachers. It existed until 1945, at the same time a teacher training institute in Honnef .

As early as 1946, a site for the now simultaneous (mixed denominational) teacher training in the Rhineland was opened again by the British occupation authorities in Bonn . Around 150 students were accepted annually. The first director of the academy was Josef Klövekorn (1904–1974). The women's rights activist Klara Faßbinder belonged to the first generation of professors . The academy building was used in 1948 for the Parliamentary Council and from 1949 as part of the Bundeshaus for the German Bundestag . The academy therefore moved its teaching operations to the specially converted Karlschule in Nordstadt . A new building was built in several construction phases from 1957 to 1965 according to plans by the Bonn State Building Authority on Römerstrasse in the northern part of the city, now Bonn-Castell . In the mid-1970s, further new buildings were built at the same location, some of which have since been closed due to pollutants.

In 1963 the academy was renamed the Bonn University of Education , which in turn became part of the Rhineland University of Education in 1965 . The last rector was Klaus Schaller .
