Teaching

Böhm advocates a “personalistic pedagogy” ( see also: personalism ). The focus of his pedagogical considerations is therefore the person who, in addition to their limitations by nature and its limits that exist on the part of society , is also and above all “I” who wants and thinks for himself in his uniqueness. The focus of his scientific work was the philosophy of education, history and theory of upbringing and education, comparative pedagogy and the history and theory of schools

music

In 2005, the world premiere of the church opera "Augustinus - Ein Klingendes Mosaik", composed by Wilfried Hiller , based on Böhm's libretto, took place in Munich .

On March 16, 2010, the oratorio “Der Sohn des Zimmermanns” composed by Wilfried Hiller was premiered in Würzburg's Kilians Cathedral, for which Böhm also wrote the libretto. In nine scenes from the New Testament, the person Jesus takes center stage without appearing as a figure himself. He shows himself alone in the mirror of his disciples and other contemporaries. The end of the premiere coincided with the annual 20-minute bell concert of all Würzburg churches on the evening of March 16, which is supposed to draw attention to the bombing and complete destruction of Würzburg by the Allied forces.

Press office of the Ordinariate Würzburg, March 8, 2004, accessed on December 18, 2010 : “Professor Dr. Winfried Böhm was honored as a versatile scientist, highly educated person and Christian. The full professor and board member of the Institute for Education at the University of Würzburg enjoy international recognition, which is evident from the numerous visiting professorships in Europe and overseas and memberships of several foreign academies. His pedagogy arises from an independent reflection of a personalistic approach on the basis of the Christian image of man, it says in the laudation. His multiple services reached far into the church.
