Abstract	This article discusses Kitschelt's coordinate system of political preferences as an outstanding solution to fill the ideology gap in Civic Education and therefore to enhance political literacy. At first, the author explains and outlines the landscape of the four political ideologies: market-liberalism, conservatism, democratic socialism and left-libertarianism. In addition, he traces left-libertarianism to its merely known anarchist roots. After that, he explains how our basic political values are shaped by economic and cultural developments and how they combine to become political ideologies, social milieus and party families. As a third point, the author outlines possible applications of Kitschelt's model for the subject of Civic Education. For that, he proposes a map of fundamental controversial issues to help students to discover their own political position. Finally, the author introduces the "Found-a-Village-Project" as highly interactive and controversial scenario to foster political identity formation (Original übernommen Verlag).
