Rudolf Abshagen
Rudolf Abshagen (born June 23, 1909 in Chemnitz , † 1987 ) was a German psychologist and youth researcher .
Live and act
Abshagen received his doctorate in psychology from the University of Würzburg in 1932. From 1943 he worked in the Moringen youth concentration camp as a permanent representative of the criminal biological institute of the security police under Robert Ritter . He should constantly monitor the behavior of the male adolescents in the camp in order to distinguish genetic misconduct from social misconduct. Hereditary youths should remain interned permanently. Sinti and Roma were particularly affected.
After 1945 he worked as a psychologist at the Münster employment office. His empirical studies on the situation of post-war youth (1954) as part of a UNESCO project made the actual living situation of German youths clear, which corrected the general thesis of intellectual and moral neglect.
