Different studies in German‐ and English‐speaking countries have confirmed students‘ small interest in certain topics of the Geography curriculum. This is often paired with a decline of subject‐related interest throughout the course of Sek I. There is a growing emphasis in Geography didactic‐teaching research on the exploration of didactic‐methodical measures to raise students’ interest in less‐favoured topics. Based on a standardised questionnaire handed out to Geography teachers this paper examines which didactic‐methodical measures are suitable to raise students’ interest for unpopular topics. According to this data, it can be concluded that a positive teaching environment, the integration of concret‐figuaretive media and also a realistic connection to students’ daily life could help realise this aim.
