Biography
German teacher and Anthroposophist. In January 1909, Hahn met Rudolf Steiner for the first time and became a member of the Theosophical Society three years later. From 1919 onwards Hahn taught French, History and German language at the first Waldorf School in Stuttart. From Rudolf Steiner he was entrusted with the task of giving the so-called “free religion lessons” (for those children who did not belong to any denomination) and within this context held the first “Sunday Service” in 1920. From 1931 until 1939 he taught at the Vrije School in The Hague. After the war ended he returned to the Stuttgart Waldorf School, re-founded after the Nazi period and served as its unofficial director until his retirement in 1961. His numerous works as an author include recollections of Rudolf Steiner and his main work, Vom Genius Europas. He died on 20 June 1970 in Stuttgart.
