history

In 1952/53 a pedagogical institute for teacher training for middle school (4th to 8th grade) was founded in Leipzig under Karl Kögler (until 1958) according to the "Ordinance on the new regulation of teacher training in general schools". It took its seat in the school building of the former Max-Klinger-Schule in Karl-Heine-Straße. With the introduction of the Polytechnic Oberschule in the GDR in 1959, the school duration increased to 10 years as a rule. The length of study for certified teachers was increased to four years in 1958 and to five years in 1982, including school internships. Together with others in the GDR, the Leipzig Institute was elevated to a pedagogical university on September 1, 1972, which awarded the Dr. ped. and from 1977 also the Dr. phil. could lend. Teachers were trained there until integration into the educational science faculty of the University of Leipzig on September 30, 1992 . On September 1, 1990, the Institute for Teacher Training Leipzig (primary school teacher training ) was integrated into the PH.

The university not only trained teachers for high schools in German, Russian, history and civics, but its scientists also conducted research in the pedagogical field and in the sciences taught as a school or study subject. They published their results both in the academic journal published by the university itself and in international specialist journals and monographs. For example, under Joachim Müller, there was a research group “History of the struggle of the working class for the liberation of women”, which was to continue the tradition of Clara Zetkins . There was also a research group “Critique of Civil Philosophy” under Herbert Mahr, research on officially rejected reform pedagogy (Christa Uhlig after her habilitation in Leipzig in 1980 until 1986) and an “Interdisciplinary Center for Teaching Research / Communication” under Edgar Rausch (1928-2016). Foreign students were able to acquire German language skills in an annual course.

From 1981 to 1989 the historian Joachim Müller (1926–2007; head of the research group “Proletarian Women's Movement” at the Central Committee of the SED ) headed the PH. He was replaced from 1989–1991 by the educationalist Horst Hesse (1935–2018). The last rector in 1991/92 was the dissident Germanist and literary didactician Wolfgang Brekle . The dean of the Philosophical Faculty from 1987 to 1990 was the linguist and Slavist Rudolf Kühnl. As one of two from the PH Leipzig, the Slavist Karlheinz Kasper (* 1933) received the award of Honored University Teacher of the GDR in 1981 . The other was Wolfgang Feige in the subject of civic education in 1984. He had a GDR-wide name for his teaching aids, as well as the long-time rector (1965–1981) and the textbook author Theodor Heidrich (1925–2007), who was in demand after 1990, for German language teaching .
