Historiography as education - On the constitution of pedagogical historiography in the 19th century

In contrast to other disciplines, a peculiar historiography has established itself in pedagogics which - in its tradition - is rather educative and no t so much empricially oriented. The model - still effective today - was pro vided by KARL VON RAUMER With his "History of Pedagogics" (1872/73), which focusses on the biographies and attitudes of prominent personalities with m odel function. The main objective, mediated through history, consists in co ntributing to the creation of a professional ethics for future teachers.
