Jugendburg

From 1935 to 1943 there was also a schoolchildren's magazine with the title Deutsche Jugendburg ("German Youth Castle"), which was published by the National Socialist Teachers League.

He also tried to found a new school or "Jugendburg" to serve his progressive educational project based on the concept of upbringing as the "Formation of People in the Sense of a Worldview" (Formung des Menschen im Sinne einer Weltanschauung).

Wyneken created the concept of "youth culture" in opposition to the perceived subservience of Wilhelmine Germany as well as against school and family.

The Freideutsche Jugend network which emerged that day around the Meissner Declaration had an anti-rationalist view point at odds with Wyneken's approach.

As the numbers of scouts and youth leagues continued to rise, the castles became international meeting places at which camps could be held.
