- Аннотация: The Soviet Union had a tremendous social and scientific influence on life in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) between 1945 and 1990. The school system and curriculum were affected by these influences, even though the GDR school system was not identical to the Soviet education system. Marxist- Leninism, as a scientific ideology, acted as a unifying political element. Charles Darwin’s theory, which was understood as projecting a materialistic worldview, became the cornerstone of Marxist philosophy (Kolchinsky, 2001a, p. 157) and a constant in biology education in the GDR (Porges, 2018). A historical examination of the educational relationship to evolutionary biology thus provides insight into the complex interplay between science and society (inter alia, Junker & Hoßfeld, 2009). The respective zeitgeist is also reflected within the school itself, which in turn shapes future generations through its educational mission. The present contribution clarifies the question of which Soviet biologists found their way into the biology class of the GDR as part of the lessons on evolutionary biology and which technical and ideological statements were associated with those teachings. The analysis showed that during the time of Lysenkoism only a subset of biologists was included in the teaching and learning materials of the GDR and its own claim to respect all major Soviet biologists could not be fulfilled.
