Bernhard Bavink (born June 30, 1879 in Leer (East Frisia), † June 27, 1947 in Bielefeld) was a German naturalist and natural philosopher.
In Göttingen and Goslar, he completed the preparation time for teaching at secondary schools and became in 1904 senior teacher at the Protestant Stiftischen Gymnasium in Gütersloh. From autumn 1912 Bavink was a teacher at the Auguste Victoria School, a girls' gymnasium in Bielefeld, which was named from 1947 to 1996 to Bavink. In 1920, Bavink took over the scientific management of the Kepler Association, for which he published the magazine Our World from 1920 to 1939. In 1929 he was appointed to the upper school council; He was also a consultant to the Provinzialschulkollegium in Münster. After the seizure of power by the National Socialists in 1933, he joined the NSDAP.
His book "Science on the Road to Religion" had three editions in the first year (1933) and was translated into English and Swedish. It has been discussed very controversially among scientists and theologians. In the same year Bavink also published the book Eugenics as research and demand.
After Ernst Klee, Bavink was a proponent of eugenics; he gave the "society the right to liberate oneself from livelihoods that in economic terms mean nothing and vegetate on the animal's point of view"
