Adolf Panzner
Adolf Panzner (born August 4, 1892 in Hamburg , † February 6, 1944 in Rickling ) was a German politician ( KPD ), anti-fascist resistance fighter and victim of the Nazi regime .
Life
The innkeeper, Panzner's son, completed a commercial apprenticeship at the end of his school career and was then employed by a lawyer and then by a trade association. From 1916 he took part in the First World War and was employed as a secretary for the Hamburg public prosecutor until his release in 1923.
Panzner was politically active at the time of the Weimar Republic with the KPD and the Red Aid . At the KPD Hamburg he was branch manager of literature sales until 1932. In March 1931, Panzner succeeded the murdered MP Ernst Henning in the Hamburg parliament .
After the National Socialists came to power in 1933, he continued to work for the now illegal KPD in Altona , Barmbek and Wandsbek . In autumn 1935 at the latest, he was arrested, taken into protective custody and severely abused in the Fuhlsbüttel concentration camp . After the following remand he was sentenced on March 21, 1936 by the Hanseatic Higher Regional Court on charges of “preparation for high treason ” to 18 months in prison and two years of loss of honor . Released from prison in March 1937, Panzner was unable to work due to the consequences of his imprisonment, so that his wife had to cover most of the couple's livelihood with a hairdressing salon. Panzner was admitted to the Rickling Sanatorium in 1939 because of a "nervous problem" , where he died in February 1944 of " arteriosclerosis cerebrii due to circulatory weakness".
A stumbling block was laid for him at Tondernstrasse 7 in Hamburg-Dulsberg , where Panzner last lived with his wife .
