Hermann Lietz (28 April 1868, in Dumgenevitz on Rügen – 12 June 1919, in Haubinda) was a German educational progressive and theologian who founded the German Landerziehungsheime für Jungen (country boarding schools). In 1898 he taught at the progressive Abbotsholme School for boys, founded in Derbyshire, England, in 1889 by Cecil Reddie. Lietz was impressed by the Abbotsholme system of education, which combined comprehensive individual instruction with physical exercise and recreation. By 1904 he had founded three Landerziehungsheime, based on Reddie's model, for boys of different ages, in Ilsenburg, Haubinda, and Bieberstein. Read more on Wikipedia
