from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fritz Nölle (born May 19, 1899 in Lüdenscheid ; † November 14, 1980 there ) was a German writer .

Life

After attending elementary school, Fritz Nölle completed a teacher training seminar and then worked as an elementary school teacher in Lüdenscheid and from 1929 to 1945 in Dortmund . From 1940 he was the regional director of the Reich Chamber of Literature for Westphalia and a representative of National Socialist cultural policy.

In 1941 he and other regional authors such as Josefa Berens-Totenohl , Heinrich Luhmann or Maria Kahle declared themselves "soldiers of the word" in a " war confession by Westphalian poets " in the Nazi magazine Heimat und Reich , the central organ of Westphalian cultural and literary policy . On this occasion, Nölle presented a war propagandistic story “from the Polish War of 1939”, namely about the “victim death of a German woman and her child”.

After the end of National Socialism he was again a teacher in Lüdenscheid . He also published literary texts.

Honors

reception

Fritz Nölle's literary work consists mainly of novels and short stories . He had his greatest success with a trilogy of novels , consisting of the volumes Das Haus der Väter (1934), The young people (1934) and The limping decade (1937), in which he presented a satirical social panorama of his hometown.

The literary scholar Renate von Heydebrand judges Nölle's novel that it is “only third in terms of literary criticism” and stands for “the tendency of the German-national, anti-Semitic , idealistic- anti-capitalist and, at the same time, strictly anti-social democratic partisanship that has emerged from the history of the Heimat movement before 1900 - with its consequence, the rejection of Weimar democracy - towards the 'völkisch renewal' 1933 ”(von Heydebrand, 1983).

In contrast, it was said in 1987 that his writings would still be “still gladly read in my home region today”.
