| Summary | "The Story of My Life — Volume 04" by Georg Ebers is an autobiographical account written in the 19th century, focusing primarily on the author's formative years and experiences in the field of education. The book recounts Ebers' life with particular attention to his time at the Keilhau Institute, a school founded on progressive educational ideas, where he interacted with influential figures like Friedrich Froebel. In this volume, Ebers delves into his personal journey from childhood to adolescence, exploring the philosophies that shaped his education and friendships at the institute. He vividly describes the personalities of his teachers, particularly Froebel, and the unique learning environment that emphasized nature, creativity, and physical activities. He reflects on the principles of education that were applied, the social dynamics with peers, and various memorable experiences including school plays, outdoor adventures, and the impact of historical events on his youthful ideals. Ultimately, this volume not only chronicles Ebers' life but also serves as an exploration of the evolving educational practices of the time, demonstrating the importance of a holistic approach to teaching and personal development.
