Wichern-Stiftung | 1930
“Erziehungs-, Schul- und Berufs-Schwierigkeiten?”: trouble with upbringing, school or work? In 1930, the Wichern-Stiftung in Hamburg advertised to parents of boys and young men aged 8 to 25.
It offered a whole world under one roof: a primary school, secondary schools, training workshops, homes for apprentices and assistants, farm estates for agricultural training and a special-needs department.
The name honours Johann Hinrich Wichern, the Hamburg theologian who in 1833 founded the Rauhes Haus, a home for neglected children that became a model for Protestant social work in Germany.
The silhouette of a young man and the question mark show a worry of every era: what to do when a son does not fit in at school.
