Hermann Neufert (6 July 1858 in Altstadt near Lüben, Province of Silesia, Kingdom of Prussia – 1935 in Berlin, Germany) was a German educator who founded (along with Prof. Dr. Bernhard Bendix) the world's first open air school, and the international movement which followed.
[1][2] Neufert visited schools in Lähn and Groß-Glogau, where he graduated his secondary education in 1877.
In May 1884 he passed an equivalent of today's state examinations, then called examen pro facultate docendi.
After a compulsory probationary year between Easter 1884 and Easter 1885 which he served partially at the two secondary schools Maria-Magdalenen-Gymnasium and Johannes-Gymnasium at Breslau he started as a regular teacher at the latter.
After six years, at Easter 1891 he got a call to Städtische Höhere Lehranstalt zu Charlottenburg near Berlin which was also a secondary school.
