obituary

Excerpt from the obituary of the Frankenhäuser Zeitung, No. 74, of March 28, 1929:

“He is no longer the man who hung with such a warm heart, with such deep love and with such unshakable loyalty to his Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt homeland, the Kyffhäuserland, his district of Sondershausen-Bad Frankenhausen, which has grown dear to his heart, and whose fortunes have been with him are closely connected to the most loyal man in our homeland, as closely as only a good father can be connected to his family. He was a full father to his fellow citizens, a real German man, a tolerant Christian. If ever a word can be applied to a person, it is this:
'Let the person be noble, helpful and good!'
It aptly describes the character of the deserving person who has gone home, whose senses and aspirations were only aimed at serving his circle and helping his people as far as he could. Truly a noble character, a person ennobled by simplicity, kindness, devotion and loyalty to the service of the general public. ...
Noble in his disposition, elegant and simple, not going too close to anyone, not hurting anyone. Balancing effect in the wake of parliamentary disagreements. Helpful against everyone, whatever their status, whatever their political position. If the district administrator could make it possible to help the distressed, his kind heart could always be felt in his gentle hand. Good against everyone, be it in the ramified official business against the tireless and loyal helpers in the office, or against humanity seeking help, who gladly took advantage of his good advice, his rich knowledge and ability. He was always the same, the reconciling, the mild, the helping. "
