![advice to Martin about masturbation is a similar intervention. The
warning about onanism comes from J. B. Basedow and J. H. Campe’s
collection Sammlung einiger Erziehungsschriften (Collection of Some
Pedagogical Writings) of 1778, also excerpted in Rutschky.53 Finally,
the pastor’s reflections on the pain punishment causes parents
subscribe to the ideas outlined in an instructional manual from
1887, which Rutschky entitles “Pedagogical Blows are the Blows
of a Lover”: “The father punishes his child, and he himself feels
the blow [. . .] If the father is a proper paternal teacher [ein rechter
Schulvater], he also knows how to love with the cane if need be.”54
Reproductions of therapeutic contraptions in Rutschky’s book, like
the child with the harness for good posture, call to mind Martin’s
immobilization for masturbating in his attic room.55 To sum up: the
most insidious aspects of child-rearing through the centuries are
made evident through the pastor, whose pontifications collate ideas
from an entire history of pedagogical reform. His speeches fuse the
various linguistic styles from multiple epochs, adding to the film’s
temporal iridescence—the late eighteenth-century sounds different
than the late nineteenth in terms of semantics and sentence structure.
