Life

Rudolf Lochner was a son of the same name Rudolf Lochner (1867–1934), a private civil servant of the Ringhoffer works in Prague. He attended a German grammar school in Prague until he graduated from high school in 1914. As a war volunteer, he was taken prisoner by Russia for three years, from which he fled and returned to the Austro-Hungarian army as a lieutenant. After studying pedagogy and psychology in particular at the German Karl Ferdinand University , Lochner worked as an employee of Erich Gierach , whom he had already met in the prisoner of war camp. He received his doctorate from Grimmelshausen as Dr. phil. and passed the state examination in German, Czech and philosophy. After a brief teaching career, he was from 1923 to 1934 managing director of the German city education committee in Liberec , also in adult education and in the community colleges to act.

In 1927 he completed his habilitation in educational science under Ernst Otto in Prague with the hope of a university professorship. In 1934 he became a professor for "borderland studies" at the newly established college for teacher training in Hirschberg in the Giant Mountains . In 1935, Lochner qualified for a second time at the University of Breslau . From 1940 he was drafted as an officer and served in Wehrmacht posts in Breslau and Posen. Between 1942 and 1945 Lochner also taught as a lecturer in educational sciences at the University of Posen .

Lochner was a member of the Sudeten German Party and the National Socialist German Workers' Party .

After the end of the Second World War, he was appointed professor at the Pedagogical Academy in Celle ( Adolf-Reichwein-Hochschule Celle ) in 1946 . From 1951 until his retirement in 1963 he was professor for educational sciences at the Lüneburg University of Education .

Act

Lochner, along with Emil Lehmann and Eugen Lemberg, has been one of the protagonists of a Sudeten German popular education in Czechoslovakia since the 1920s . During this time he published a large number of writings characterized by hatred:

“Certain ugly traits are ascribed to them; They have been accused of theft by their neighbors since ancient times and there must be some truth in them; its first president has publicly proclaimed as an educational goal: “Don't be afraid and - don't steal!” Perhaps this tendency to more or less harmless thievery can be combined with the certain submissiveness that still attaches to them for historical reasons; they annoy themselves about it and often fall out of the role: then they become hateful and tyrannical and trumpet like the little man. However, this does not prevent them from developing a remarkable aggressive spirit, which their German neighbors have been feeling like waves for centuries. Take what you can from the neighbor, but beat him, suppress him, wipe him out; this is their tactic. They owe almost all of their cultural goods to German influence; they are Germanized Slavs. The adaptation to German conditions affects all Czech expressions of life at an early stage; Forms of constitution, administration of justice, economic and social conditions, development of the tribal structure, faith, literature, art, way of living, etc. The entire Czech culture no longer has any Slavic peculiarities "

“ To deal with Schönerer means to pursue greater German history. Schönerer, one of the most passionate Germans who ever lived, is the greatest German political educator after Bismarck and before Adolf Hitler. "

Lochner is seen in Germany above all by Wolfgang Brezinka as one of the founders of empirical pedagogy and educational science as a factual science. By resorting to Oskar Bail's genetics , Lochner wanted to make natural sciences the basis of scientific pedagogy alongside psychology.
