job

After attending a private school in his home town of Popelken, Forstreuter switched to the preparatory institute in Insterburg and from there to the teachers' college in Memel . Also in Memel he passed the first teacher examination in 1907 and the second teacher examination two years later. He then became a teacher in Wriezen. In 1912 he passed the secondary school teacher examination in Berlin and the rector examination for secondary and higher girls' schools in 1919. Four years later he became the head of the municipal high school for girls in Wriezen. He held this position until 1933. In that year the school was closed and transferred to the Realprogymnasium in Wriezen . Forstreuter retired as headmaster.

Political propaganda

Forstreuter, who had been involved in the NSDAP at an early stage , was now largely in the service of Nazi propaganda . At the end of 1934, he gave up his position as deputy head of the department for knowledge and worldview at the Deutschlandsender in Berlin to settle down as a freelance writer in Berlin . However, he stayed with the broadcaster as a freelancer, read texts he had written himself on the radio and took part in radio discussions.

In addition, Forstreuter, who had previously been active as a writer, published numerous, mainly ideological essays. He published in a wide range of magazines, including Westermanns Monatshefte , program magazines such as Rufer und Hörer or Die Sendung , but also party organs such as the National Socialist monthly magazines , Arbeitertum and the calendar of German labor . He also gave lectures on political issues.

He had a special relationship with Bulgaria . On several occasions, he took a stand on issues affecting this country, both verbally and in writing. In doing so, he pointed to the "key cultural and political position of the country between the ' Occident ' and Turkey ".

His main works, however, are some books in which he interprets, among other things, the migration of peoples , the establishment of the Prussian monastic state , the settlement of Germans in Slavic or purely Slavic areas and the activities of the Hanseatic League as the spread of Germanness and its culture in the sense of National Socialist ideology . Two of his books were edited by Rudolf Jung , one of the most important theorists of National Socialism .
