An important focus of the generational rebellion of the late 1960s was education reform. A growing number of parents established anti-authoritarian kindergartens known as Kinderläden, which provided educational alternatives to traditional communal and church-based institutions. This image comes from Holger Rüdel’s 1970 photo series documenting daily life in a Kinderladen established by student-parents in the West German city of Kiel. The Kinderladen movement influenced subsequent reform efforts that led to a more open and democratic educational system in the Federal Republic.
