| Zusammenfassung: | Abstract Art education in German schools combines practical courses and art history. The curricula only give a marginal position to art history, however. This concerns the arts of the Middle Ages in particular – only a minimum of lessons, if any at all, are dedicated to medieval art. However, European cities, villages, and landscapes cannot be understood without their structures and buildings inherited from the Middle Ages. In its first section, this article describes the critical situation of art history in German schools and argues that participation in European societies in the full sense of the Human Rights charter requires the inclusion of the medieval heritage in educational programmes. The second section takes Dortmund as an example. The third section describes exemplary projects focussing on medieval objects that we include in the regular curriculum of our teacher training programme at TU Dortmund University, and in collaborative courses held at university and at partner schools. |
