English summary: After the end of National Socialism, the young West German political science saw itself as the vanguard of German democratization. In West Berlin in particular, political scientists such as Ernst Fraenkel, Ossip Flechtheim and Otto Heinrich von der Gablentz were especially enthusiastic at the German School of Politics. They saw themselves as “preachers of democracy” in postwar Germany. This study examines how these actors transferred their pluralistic theories of democracy into practical political education. Thus, at the intersection of the history of ideas, institutions, and biographies, it contributes to the question of how West German democracy succeeded after 1945. German description: Nach dem Ende des Nationalsozialismus verstand sich die junge bundesdeutsche Politikwissenschaft als Speerspitze der deutschen Demokratisierung. Insbesondere in West-Berlin engagierten sich an der Deutschen Hochschule fur Politik Politologen wie Ernst Fraenkel, Ossip Flechtheim und Otto Heinrich von der Gablentz. Sie verstanden sich als Prediger der Demokratie im Nachkriegsdeutschland. Die Studie untersucht, wie diese Akteure ihre pluralistischen Demokratietheorien in praktische politische Bildung ubersetzten. So leistet sie an der Schnittstelle zwischen Ideen-, Institutionen- und Biografiegeschichte einen Beitrag zur Frage, wie die bundesdeutsche Demokratie nach 1945 gelingen konnte.
