Die Lehrplane der Weimarer Republik sahen vor, den Deutschunterricht zu einer Kulturkunde im Sinne einer Deutschkunde zu erweitern. So erhielt auch die deutsche Kunstgeschichte darin ihren Raum. Die Spuren zeigen sich vor allem in den Lesebuchern, in denen nun auch Kunsttafeln integriert wurden. Aber welche Arten von Kunstwerken sind abgebildet, und welche Maler wurden bevorzugt? Sind an der Auswahl der wiederholt auftretenden Werke Vorlieben zu entdecken, und wird dadurch eine gewisse Kanonisierung von kunstgeschichtlichem Wissen sichtbar? Legten die Werke und die sie begleitenden Textbeitrage nationalbetonte Interpretationen nahe; weisen diese bereits in Richtung der NS-Zeit? Um Antworten auf diese und weitere Fragen zu finden, wurden fur diese Studie 13 Lesebuchreihen fur die hoeheren Schulen ausgewertet.
