history
Pedagogical Academy - HfL - Teacher Training Institute
With the reorganization of the Weimar Republic in 1920, the Berlin pedagogue Eduard Spranger suggested creating a separate form of higher education alongside the university for non-grammar school teacher training , for which there were previously only teacher seminars. The Prussian minister of education, Carl Heinrich Becker , set up educational academies . A PA was also opened in Hanover from 1930. In order to promote independence, it was to be housed in modern new buildings on Bismarckstrasse , for which Franz Erich Kassbaum was commissioned as the architect . On May 28, 1929 the foundation stone was laid in the southern part of the city, the Hanoverian Pedagogical Academy was planned for 300 students and 24 lecturers. As early as 1931, Prussia stopped building work on the “new type of education center” - the causes were the global economic crisis , the Prussian government's financial constraints and a surplus of teachers. The PA itself was closed in the winter semester of 1931/32.
As early as 1933, the National Socialists continued the shell construction under Bernhard Rust . The former teacher from Hanover was since 1928 Gauleiter of Südhannover Brunswick , in 1934, he was appointed Minister of Science, Education and Popular Culture on. From 1934 175 female students studied at the only " College for Teacher Training " (HfL) in the German Reich under the director and psychologist Friedrich Dittmers and his deputy Martin Wahler . But the building was not completed until 1935.
In 1941 the Nazi state downgraded the HfL to a teacher training institute (LBA), girls as early as 14 years old had to be examined to see whether they were suitable as teachers (without a high school diploma) for the period after the war. Since the facility was hit repeatedly during the air raids on Hanover , operations on Bismarckstrasse were stopped in 1944.
University of Education - Minister Becker University
In 1946, teacher training was resumed on Bismarckstrasse. The College of Education , however, (PH) could initially use only one of the rooms, as well as the British occupying forces and the North German Broadcasting took advantage of the building. Only 300 students were accepted to complete the elementary school teacher degree in four semesters. In 1953 it was extended to six semesters. The director was the history didactician Arno Koselleck . There were numerous practical teaching attempts with Peter Petersen's Jena pedagogy . The Nazi persecuted Wilhelmine Ludwig was a lecturer. The " Minister-Becker -Hochschule" was merged in 1969 with the other PHs in all of Lower Saxony to form the Lower Saxony University of Education , before the institution on Bismarckstrasse was subordinated to the University of Hanover in 1978 . The Lower Saxony University Act determined that the University of Education should be assigned to the educational sciences department.
