Life
Burghard Körner was born in the early days of the German Empire in 1886 as the son of a wine merchant in Göttingen, where he also graduated from high school.
From 1906 to 1911 he studied architecture at what was then the Technical University in Hanover, followed by training as a government master builder from 1911 to 1919, which was temporarily interrupted by his participation in the First World War.
During the Weimar Republic , in 1922, Körner was appointed government building officer.
In the year of the seizure of power , Burghard Körner joined the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP) under membership number 2645501 on May 1, 1933 , was appointed Ministerial Councilor in the following year, and in the same year until 1936, he also took on the role of a commissary block warden of the NSDAP . In the meantime he had also joined the National Socialist People's Welfare (NSV) in 1935 , and in 1936 became a member of the Reich Air Protection Association (RLB).
In 1937, Körner was appointed professor for foundation engineering and hydraulic engineering at the Technical University of Hanover, joined the NS-Bund Deutscher Technik (NSBDT) in the same year , became its training chairman for water management (until 1945), and joined the NS-Altherrenbund as well the National Socialist German Lecturer Association and took over the office of dean of the Faculty of Construction (until 1940). From 1940 to 1945 he was a member of the Senate of the Technical University of Hanover as a representative of the teaching staff.
In 1939, Körner was seconded to the "Reich University" in Prague , an office he held there until 1940. Until the end of the Second World War he remained training chairman for water management, but was interned from 1945 to 1946, while he had already been released from the Technical University of Hanover in 1945 on the orders of the British military government .
According to the university's denazification committee from the beginning of 1947, Körner displayed “a decidedly National Socialist sentiment” and represented “consistent anti-Semitism”. Under the British in 1947, Körner was classified in category III in the denazification process , ie "as an [...] ardent Nazi supporter". In 1949 it was classified in category V , so it was now considered "exonerated". In this way, Körner, who had been dismissed from the TH Hannover five years earlier as a professor, was able to retire in 1950 - with the pension payments of a professor.
In addition, before 1966, Burchard Körner was awarded a Dr.-Ing. E. h. appointed.
