Pedagogical Academy Dortmund

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Pedagogical Academy Dortmund existed from 1929 to 1933 (renamed a college for teacher training ) and again under this name from 1946 to 1962, before it was renamed the Pedagogical College Dortmund.

On June 1, 1929, the Prussian Minister of Education, Carl Heinrich Becker, opened the Pedagogical Academy in Dortmund , Luisenstrasse 11, intended for Protestant students , with 35 students who wanted to become primary school teachers with academic training. The first director of the academy was Kurt Körber . He was followed by Arno Koselleck from 1932 to 1933 . The new academy building was inaugurated on Hindenburgdamm (today: Rheinlanddamm ) on October 4, 1930. Important professors were z. B. Friedrich Copei (posthumously professor 1953) or the first female representatives of their subjects in Germany Ilse Peters (religious educator) and Ermentrude Bäcker von Ranke , but also the National Socialist Ernst Krieck , who was suspended from service in 1932 .

In April 1933 it was renamed as a college for teacher training (HfL) by the National Socialist Reich Education Minister Bernhard Rust and continued from 1934 under the National Socialist director Oswald Muris , who was replaced in 1939 by Moritz Edelmann . In 1933 the teaching staff was reorganized in the Nazi direction and numerous lecturers were transferred back to school or dismissed, such as Johannes Sippel and Hans Pflug . During this time, numerous important Nazi educators came to professorships. B. Hermann Rudolf Bäcker , Franz Kade , Horand H. Schacht . From February 8, 1941, the HfL became a teacher training institute that no longer accepted high school graduates, but only trained school assistants. It existed until February 1945, but in 1942 it was relocated to Altena and later to Höxter due to destruction .

In December 1946 the British occupation authorities opened a new facility for teacher training in Westphalia as a replacement for the Dortmund location in neighboring Lünen , which moved into the old building on the Rheinlanddamm in 1951. Around 150 students were accepted annually. The first director of the academy after the unsuccessful appointment of the initially planned NSDAP member Wilhelm Kölsche (1892–1964) was the resistanceist Emil Figge . The first generation of professors included Wilhelm Menzel , Alfons Perlick , Heinrich-Georg Raskop and Luise von Winterfeld . An "Institute for Scientific Local Studies" under Perlick's direction met the needs of Westphalian regional history as well as those of many expellees . In 1951 the "East German Research Center in the State of North Rhine-Westphalia" was established there.

The academy was renamed in 1962 in Dortmund University of Education , which in turn became part of the Ruhr University of Education in 1965 .
