Eugenie Haug

Eugenie Haug (born May 14, 1891 in Preßburg , † October 2, 1944 in Munich ) was a National Socialist political activist.

Life

Eugenie Haug, often nicknamed Jenny, Henny or Fanny, was born as the daughter of the piano teacher Johann Haug and his wife Magdalena. After attending school, she lived in Rosenthal , where she lived in an apartment on Wörthstrasse with her sister Frederike Haug. At the latest after the First World War , Haug began to work in her uncle Oskar Körner's toy store in Rosenthal.

In 1920 Haug came into contact with the early National Socialist movement. In the membership lists of the German Workers' Party , the predecessor party of the NSDAP , it was listed as of March 20, 1920 with membership number 913. She later stated this entry date herself. Through her uncle Oskar Körner, who soon became one of the leading figures of the early DAP / NSDAP, Haug came into the inner circle of Adolf Hitler , who renamed the DAP the NSDAP in 1920 and at this time began to dominate the party more and more. An indication of the closeness of her family to Hitler is that he celebrated Christmas 1921 with her at the Reichsbahnoberrat Theodor Lauboeck and his wife. Haug's brother Ernst also became Hitler's first chauffeur at this time. In Hitler's list of gifts she appears under “Miss. Haug ”and received books and a bonbonniere from him in 1935/1936 .

The close ties between the Körner-Haug family and Hitler led to the assumption that there were amorous relationships between him and Eugenie Haug in various early newspaper reports about Hitler, and she was even viewed as Hitler's bride. Evidence that claims in this direction are correct has not yet been found. In his investigation of Hitler's early career in Munich, Anton Joachimsthaler comes to the conclusion that the contact with Haug never resulted in an erotic relationship. As a zealous supporter of the NSDAP, Haug, who supposedly always carried a pistol for self-protection, took on numerous service tasks for Hitler and the party in the early 1920s and thus acquired a certain importance for the party's early history: She sewed in the early 1920s numerous storm armbands and storm flags for the NSDAP. Haug later even claimed that in May 1920, based on a design by Hitler, she sewed the first swastika flag , which the Munich party committee of the NSDAP accepted as the official party symbol on May 21, 1920:

"I sewed the first swastika flag and armband, based on the design of our beloved Führer."

After 1933 Haug was awarded the NSDAP Golden Party Badge because of her early membership in the NSDAP . In 1935, she took part in the celebration of the 15th anniversary of the NSDAP as a guest of honor. However, Haug no longer played a political role at the time of National Socialism and, like her brother, largely disappeared from Hitler's environment.
