Deutsche Montessori Gesellschaft

The Deutsche Montessori Gesellschaft was founded in Berlin in 1925, with the assistance of Maria Montessori. The aim of the society is to spread and support knowledge about Montessori pedagogy in Germany, and to work for exchange and in-service training for Montessori educators according to the principles of AMI. Twice a year the DMG publishes an issue of its magazine DAS KIND (THE CHILD), covering different aspects of Montessori pedagogy, including current research regarding child development and education. In addition, the DMG has published a number of books. The DMG board is laying an emphasis on promoting teachers’ workshops and conferences of the ‘Montessori Model United Nations’ (MMUN) to Montessori schools in Germany, being convinced that the MMUN activities have to play an important role in the German Montessori landscape; and supporting initiatives dealing with authentic Montessori education for the 3rd plane of development.
