importance and dependent on each other. Basically, all social and societal life has an educational implication. Here we encounter an essential concept of Krieck's educational theory, namely that of "community". Since every human being is a member of communities, he is also educated according to the respective type expectation and in turn contributes to the education of others. The highest form of community is the "people", to which everyone is a member. In this context, Krieck distinguishes four forms of mutual "external education": The community educates the members. The members educate each other. The members educate the community. The community educates the community. It must be said that Krieck does not recognise every unit as a community. To explain these forms of education, Giesecke chooses the example of the family: the family as a community educates its members, e.g. the children. They educate each other and, through their ideas, also the family as a community. The communities educate other communities, e.g. neighbouring families. Furthermore, two forms of "self-education" are described: The community educates itself. The individual educates himself. What remains unanswered is the question of how communities can educate themselves if this does not happen at least through the initiative of their members. Individual "self-education" refers to the effort that individuals make by obtaining their own version from the different educational demands and trying to fulfil them. For Krieck, "breeding" takes the place of actual education. It is a process of collective integration of the human being. What is meant here is the shaping of an individual within a community through fixed values and a standardised course of evolution. The goal is the development into a fixed "type". Only the individual who conforms to the "type" becomes a "full member" of the community and is the result of the forming and breeding process. "National-Political Education" Krieck joined the NS Teachers' Association on 1 January 1932. His ideas on educational science became particularly clear in the work "Nationalpolitische Erziehung" (National Political Education), published that same year. In it, Krieck called for a "politicisation" of the sciences. Due to Germany's current plight, all efforts must now be directed towards presenting productive perspectives. The introduction to this treatise says: "The age of 'pure reason', of 'presuppositionless' and 'value-free' science is over." Krieck sees "political opponents" primarily among supporters of liberalism, individualism and pacifism. The new bearer of "political" science was the National Socialist
