Germany in 1919, a group of workers in the Waldorf-Astoria Cigarette Factory wanted the harsh and lifeless methods of pedagogy to be replaced with a schooling that truly suited the needs of their children.
Emil Molt, the factory's forward-looking director, asked Rudolf Steiner to develop a school based on Steiner's picture of the child as a being of body, soul, and spirit, in which teachers would teach out of love and respect for their students.
Over the course of a full and intense summer, Rudolf Steiner assembled a group of men and women who were to become the founding faculty.

 The Founding of the First Waldorf School (Easton)
As a result of his first lecture to the workers in Emil Molt's tobacco factory he was asked by them how the next generation could grow up free from the cultural deprivation from which they themselves had suffered.
But from the beginning the workers were fired with enthusiasm for the idea of a totally different kind of school for their children, and Molt, who was already a leader in the Threefold movement, immediately expressed himself as ready to devote the profits of his enterprise as "gift-money" for this new cultural venture.
The prospective student body for the opening, which was planned for September in the same year, consisted of the workers' children, about a hundred and fifty in all, to which were quickly added the children of the Stuttgart anthroposophists, approximately fifty in number, and coming almost entirely from a different class from their new fellow-students.

The first “Waldorf” school was founded in 1919 in Stuttgart, Germany by Emil Molt, the director of the Waldorf Astoria Company, out of his concern for the new generation of school children emerging from the devastation of World War 1.
If these children were to develop capacities that would allow them to transform society, they would need to be taught in a new way - one that addressed their essential humanity, that enhanced their concern for other people, and that fostered a sense of responsibility for the earth.
Molt approached Rudolf Steiner already well known in Europe as an author, lecturer & philosopher, to develop a form of education to meet these needs.

 The wisdom of Waldorf: education for the future Mothering - Find Articles
The impulse behind Waldorf education is cultural renewal--an impulse for the future that Rudolf Steiner felt could be fostered through a new understanding of the individual and community.
When a German factory director, Emil Molt, approached Steiner in 1919 to ask how children might be educated to prevent another catastrophe like World War I, Steiner responded, six months later, by opening a school for the 256 children of the workers in Molt's Waldorf-Astoria cigarette factory--hence the names "Waldorf" or "Steiner" education.
Steiner felt that children needed a balanced development of their capacities to be prepared as adults to contribute to cultural renewal, instead of to the ongoing dehumanization of society.

Its founder, Emil Molt, owner and chief director of the Waldorf Astoria cigarette factory, had started on an industrial training programme for adults, shortly after the First World War, and was now keen to start a school for the children of his factory employees.
