Willi Aeppli 1894-1972

"Willi Aeppli (1894-1972) was a master Waldorf teacher in the Rudolf Steiner School in Basel, Switzerland. He is remembered as an excellent teacher who used his observations and daily experience to enrich his classroom teaching. He also led many informal courses on the art of education for teachers and prospective teachers throughout his long career as an educator." source

"Born in 1894 in Ada, Ghana, where his parents were active in the Basel Mission. After school, he attended the seminary in Zurich. It was followed by a study of the Germanic, the German language and literature at the University of Zurich. From 1921 he had several encounters with Rudolf Steiner. By 1927, Willi Aeppli taught at various cantonal schools. From 1927, a year after the founding of the Rudolf Steiner School in Basel, he was there, working up to his death in 1972, as a teacher."   http://www.geistesleben.de/urheber/willi-aeppli

"The first Waldorf school opened in 1919 in Stuttgart, Germany. Emil Molt, director of the Waldorf Astoria cigarette factory, invited Rudolf Steiner to become the pedagogical director of a school for the children of his factory workers. Steiner’s insightful philosophy, that education must be based on an understanding of human development, became what we now know as Waldorf Education." source


Steiner would have been 58.
