This study aims to analyze Jürgen Moysich's thoughts and his practices before his idea of Babyklappe (baby box) in 1999 and to describe the dynamism of his thought related to the early childhood education in Germany. His main works are published exclusively in the nineties, those contexts belong to seventies and eighties pedagogy in Germany, especially “progressive education” and “anti-authoritarian education”. However, in the nineties he was interested in the issue of “education after Auschwitz” put forward by Theodor W. Adorno and had radically carried out his own early child care and education. The results suggest that there is a concept of anti-authoritarian pedagogical mediation coherently in the heart of his thought, and that his idea of Babyklappe should be interpreted in this context.
