Life
In 1914 he was ordained a priest in Fulda . He was parish priest in Obernkirchen near Bückeburg and then in Bremen-Aumund. On October 15, 1935, he became pastor in the Herz-Jesu-Kirche in Bremerhaven-Lehe (then Wesermünde ). His work was made more difficult from the start by the National Socialists. He always confessed that National Socialism and Christianity were incompatible. This led to his being under surveillance. He was denounced by an alleged convert and arrested by the Gestapo on November 2, 1944 . Pastor Görge was held in solitary confinement in the Fuhlsbüttel satellite camp for five months and then in the Kiel-Hassee labor education camp . On May 21, 1945, completely exhausted, he returned to his parish Heiligestes Herz Jesu Lehe, where he devoted himself to the reconstruction work. In June 1947 he went to his hometown Allendorf to relax. He died there on June 29, 1947. Görge is a victim of National Socialism . He has not yet been recognized as a resistance fighter .
