Albert Siebelist

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Albert Siebelist (born April 1, 1885 in Suhl , † June 20, 1947 there ) was a German social democratic resistance fighter against the Nazi regime .

Life

He grew up with his foster parents Gottlieb and Luise Triebel in the Fallmich district. This included three other children Fanny, Klara and Jenny. He became a member of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD). Nothing is known about the profession. It is known that he appeared as a funeral orator at the death of non-church people. After 1933 he joined a resistance group to which the couple Anschütz and Willi Köhler belonged. This operated anti-fascist education. The uninitiated grandson Dieter acted as a courier between Siebelist and the Schumacher Willi Köhler, to whom book pages of Marxist writings were brought in broken shoes . While the couple Anschütz and Willi Köhler were arrested by the Gestapo in 1943 and taken to the Ichtershausen state prison , Siebelist was warned in good time by a secret embassy and therefore fled to Switzerland . Because the roads were already blocked by refugees, he returned and turned himself in to the police out of responsibility towards his arrested comrades. In a bombing raid by the US Air Force on Ichtershausen, some prisoners managed to escape, including Karl Heym and Albert Siebelist. It took him three weeks on foot to get home exhausted. Soon he was even employed as plant manager at the newly founded SAG C. Haenel, but soon died of the consequences of his abuse and the strain he had suffered.

Albert Siebelist married his adoptive sister Klara Triebel and lived with her at Gothaer Straße 82. They were the parents of their son Franz.
