Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to clarify how Klingberg developed his didactics after German unification. His argument will be reduced to the following three points by considering his articles after the year 1990. (1) Klingberg insisted that there were some similarities between didactics of East Germany and that of West Germany. And then he indicated that it was the serious tendency to evaluate didactics of East Germany only from a political perspective. (2) Regarding the relation between general didactics and subject-didactics, he tried to grasp the relation unitary, as he emphasized the position of subject-didactics. The communicative profile of his didactics and the profile that he emphasized general didactics appeared obviously. (3) As he adopted the arguments of Herbart and Diesterweg, he developed his argument about the theme "Fuhrung and Selbsttatigkeit" with deepening that. He urged that both of the didactics of East Germany and West Germany were based on traditional didactics in Germany, and his didactics was also based on that.
