Schule als Ort von Seelsorge?
Pastoral Care at School?

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the new concept of “Pastoral Care at School” which has been developed in Public schools in Germany in the last years. There are persons at school teaching as well as counseling. In order not to confuse being a teacher and being a pastor it should be clarified what means to work at school in a didactic context but also in the field of Pastoral Care. Discussing this with Schleiermacher’s differentiation of effective and representing acting (“darstellendes und wirksames Handeln”) the article argues, that teaching and counseling as well are forms of effective acting playing their specific role at school.
