Summary: On the road to a new humanity: The reception of psychoanalysis in the early Kinderladen movement. In the late 1960s a group of students in West Germany founded the so-called Kinderläden (day care centers) in order to experiment with new forms of early childhood education. Members of the early Kinderladen movement in particular pursued a radically utopian approach that, they hoped, would engender new human beings. With the aid of psychoanalytic writings, especially those of Wilhelm Reich, they sought to create subjects that would overcome repressive bourgeois norms and live out their sexuality freely. This reliance on Reich entailed a new interpretation of the »base«, as psychoanalytic drive theory supplanted Marxist theory. As such, the early Kinderladen activists regarded the »basis« of society in biological, psychological, and pedagogic rather than economic terms.
