Johann Albert Schüle (born February 12, 1890 in Wolfenbrück ; † August 2, 1947 there ) was a German farmer and politician ( NSDAP ).

Live and act

After attending primary school , Schüle was trained as a farmer on his parents' farm and on other businesses. He took over his parents' farm before the First World War , in which Schüle participated in medical units from April 1915 to November 1918. After the end of the war he worked his farm, which comprised 16 hectares of fields and woods. In 1935 he acquired another 13 hectares of forest. Schüle had been married since 1921.

From 1918 to 1931 Schüle was a member of the Württemberg Farmers' Union (WBWB), for which he was a shop steward and speaker. He was also the district leader of "Organization F", a paramilitary organization that belonged to the Black Reichswehr . In 1928 he ran unsuccessfully for the WBWB to the Württemberg state parliament .

On March 1, 1932, Schüle joined the NSDAP ( membership number 972.297), for which he was active as a councilor in Wolfenbrück and as a Gau speaker. In the April 1932 election, Schüle entered the state parliament for the NSDAP, to which he belonged until parliament was dissolved in autumn 1933.

After the transfer of power to the National Socialists, Schüle was a member of the Reichsbauernrat and from 1933 to 1945 regional chairman of the Württemberg state farmers' union. In the NSDAP he was head of the district headquarters in the department for agricultural policy of the district of Württemberg-Hohenzollern. He also initiated a milk processing cooperative. From November 1933 until the end of the Nazi regime in spring 1945 he was a member of the National Socialist Reichstag , in which he represented constituency 31 (Württemberg). On August 15, 1934, he joined the Sturmabteilung (SA). In November 1935 he switched from the SA to the SS (SS-No. 277.382), in which, after several promotions, he achieved the rank of SS-Sturmbannführer in January 1941 .

After the liberation from National Socialism , Schüle was interned in Ludwigsburg from June 1945 to March 1947 under automatic arrest . In his denazification process , Schüle stated that the agricultural crisis had prompted him to join the National Socialists. According to the local council of Oberrot, Schüle had campaigned for those seeking advice and help regardless of their party membership and had not exerted any political pressure. A neighbor stated that he had "always treated the foreigners working on his farm well and decently". Schüle died of suicide in August 1947 . In April 1948, Spruchkammer II in Backnang discontinued the denazification process with the result that schools could not be classified as “main culprits” or “accused”.
