چکیده
Health education as a part of physical education (PE) in schools has a long history in Germany. This chapter outlines the most important steps of PE development in Germany and explains the current status of health education within PE. Regarding relevant problems of the German school health system, various practice models are introduced. A special focus is on the long-term communitybased intervention project Healthy Children in Sound Communities, a unique curricular program for primary school children. The evidence-based outcome of this project leads to future visions of health education in Germany, including a monitoring system for motor and health development and social well-being of children.
