from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Uwe Lehnert (born November 21, 1935 in Berlin ) is a German educational IT specialist and university professor . From 1976 to 1980 he held the chair for teaching science with special attention to IT at the Pedagogical University of Berlin . From 1980 to 2002 he was full professor for educational informatics at the Free University of Berlin .

Life and work

After graduating from high school in 1956 in Oldenburg , Lehnert studied communications engineering and electronics from 1956 to 1965 and graduated with a degree in engineering. In 1972 he got a job as a university lecturer in the field of didactics of computer-aided teaching at the University of Education in Berlin and in 1976 he was given a full professorship in the field of teaching science, with particular emphasis on IT at the University of Education in Berlin. From 1980 until his retirement in 2002, Lehnert was professor for educational informatics at the Free University of Berlin and wrote monographs on educational informatics.

Commitment to criticism of religion

In 2009 Lehnert wrote a religious and church-critical plea for secular humanism , which appeared under the title Why I don't want to be a Christian and is now in its 6th edition (2015).

Lehnert is a member of the Humanist Association of Germany and a supporting member of the Giordano Bruno Foundation (gbs); and the Evolutionary Humanists Berlin-Brandenburg eV (EHBB), a sub-organization of the Giordano Bruno Foundation. He is also a member of the International Association of Non-Denominational and Atheists (IBKA) and the Freethinkers Association of Austria , where he also sits on the advisory board.

In December 2014, Lehnert rejected the classification of Pegida demonstrators in the right-wing extremist spectrum as undifferentiated in a report by the Humanist Press Service with reference to Wolfgang Donsbach , Werner J. Patzelt and the Pew Research Center . Rather, “most Muslim immigrants” would bring a religion with them that “is based on an understanding of society and a morality of the 7th century” and “does not fit together with essential elements of our constitution and our conception of life in a free society”. However, Lehnert also took the view that "the politically troubled landscape" would only be calmed down through an immigration law that clearly regulates both the criteria for asylum and the desired immigration of workers and prescribes how "to deal with rejected applicants" . Sebastian Bartoschek then accused Lehnert of "apologetics for pacifier Nazis".
