PROJECT: HISTORY OF TEACHER EDUCATION IN HANNOVER
The idea of the project is to reappraise the varied history of the education of teachers in Hannover and to make it available for the public. The focus of the research lies on the people responsible (teachers and students), institutions, buildings as well as the evolution of the teacher education. The reviewing of the historical source material is furthermore aided through interviews with witnesses as well as participants of teacher education in Hannover. Publication of the research is planned with the inauguration of the new building for the Leibniz School of Education.
