Odenwaldschule

Odenwaldschule is a German school located in Heppenheim in the Odenwald. Founded in 1910, it is Germany's oldest de [Landerziehungsheim], a private boarding school located in a rural setting. Edith and de [Paul Geheeb] established it using their concept of progressive education, which integrated the work of the head and hand. The school was run by Minna Specht from 1946 to 1951.^[1]

In the late 1990s, and again in 2010, the school became the center of national attention, when an investigation revealed the sexual abuse of more than 130 pupils by at least 8 teachers in the 1970s and 1980s.^[2]^[3]

The school had to file for bankruptcy in July 2015 and has since closed down.
