history

In ancient Greece , sophists were around 450 BC. Until approx. 380 BC Active as a professional hiking instructor. They wanted to provide a higher education that enabled them to take political action. Her teaching activities focused primarily on the subject areas of rhetoric and poetics as well as ethics and law . The sophistic converter teachers traveled from their center in Athens to the Peloponnese , Thessaly and southern Italy .

Even in the Middle Ages there was the profession of traveling teacher in German-speaking countries: The Hussite Friedrich Reiser (1401-1458) worked as a traveling teacher for the Waldensians from 1420 in Swabian - Alemannic and then from 1430 in Bohemia .

In the course of the European agricultural revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries , trained hiking instructors took on the task of imparting specialist knowledge to farmers , and of providing them with additional advice. This resulted in cooperation with the agricultural associations , which were increasingly founded during this time. These hiking instructors have special knowledge of their respective regional activities and their official recognition:

The industrial revolution in Germany caused deep distortions in traditional industries, which were supposed to be alleviated by the use of hiking instructors. For this reason, the Prussian state promoted training as a traveling teacher for weaving mills . Richard Keilholz , trained for this in Frankfurt am Main and Berlin , worked in Silesia .

At present, hiking instructors are still being trained in beekeeping in Austria .

After 1945, the Bavarian Trade Union Federation (BGB) transferred some mountain huts in which hut consultants were active. The later head of the DGB training center Niederpöcking (near Starnberg), Sepp Weinbuch, belonged to this group of traveling teachers. A well-known facility was the Winkelmoos-Alm, assigned to private operators by the successor association of the Bavarian Trade Union Federation, the DGB.

Traveling teachers, often referred to as speakers or teamers in current usage, have been active in trade unions and other adult education institutions, particularly since the reform of the Works Constitution Act (1972). The training centers can either be the sponsoring institutions or commercial seminar hotels. As freelancers or volunteers (which in the case of the works constitution is certainly associated with remuneration), they have largely replaced the full-time adult education teacher or are specialists such as judges and lawyers who are paid on the side.
