Provisional working title of the habilitation project:
The Protestant worldview and the “struggle for youth.” A history of Christian subjectification in youth and educational work in the first half of the 20th century
Current DFG Project
The discourse on “Protestant pedagogy.” Church education policy and denominational educational theory in the Weimar Republic / Der Diskurs um eine „Evangelische Pädagogik“. Kirchliche Bildungspolitik und konfessionelle Bildungstheorie in der Weimarer Republik.
The research project examines how the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union (APU) established and secured its social influence in the religiously and ideologically neutral state of the Weimar Republic through the concepts of “Protestant pedagogy.”
First, the institutional and media discourse foundations are systematically recorded. An in-depth analysis of educational theory concepts follows. Finally, the extent to which these concepts served as an educational policy instrument to position the APU as an educational institution vis-à-vis the state and other social actors will be examined.
The project illustrates for the first time the connection between church educational policy and religious educational theory formation against the legal and political backdrop of the Weimar Republic.
