Johann Peter Maria Ewald Dienhart (born April 14, 1902 in Wehlen , Bernkastel-Kues ; † June 21, 1987 in Morbach ) was a German National Socialist .

Life

Ewald Dienhart attended elementary school in Wehlen from 1908 to 1912 . His education at secondary schools ends in the lower secondary due to illness. After school, he becomes a winemaker and works on his parents' winery.

On March 1, 1930, he joined the NSDAP in Ürzig ( membership number 220.431). However, party membership was suspended on October 1, 1930 because he failed to pay his membership fees on time. In 1931 he was re-admitted.

From March 1932 to September 1934 he was district leader of Bernkastel . He was dismissed from this office at the instigation of Gauleiter Gustav Simon . Dienhart was considered very unpopular and a "horror of the community". However, Simon was a good friend of Dienhart and saved his indebted winery. Dienhart turned down an offered position in the Gauleitung.

Between 1933 and 1934 there were twelve criminal proceedings against Dienhart, for example in 1932 he raped a 16-year-old girl and threatened a bailiff. Adolf Hitler granted Dienhart amnesty . Another perjury procedure followed in 1936 , which was later dropped. Towards the end of the Second World War he was drafted into the Wehrmacht and became an American prisoner of war .

In the denazification process , he was initially classified as a follower. The district court Trier but sentenced him on July 6, 1948, two years in prison for crimes against humanity in four cases, including three cases in coincidence with official arrogance , in two cases with coercion and in one case with grievous bodily harm. The supposedly young age at which he was appointed district leader spoke in his favor. The court assumed that he was overwhelmed with this position. He was released from prison in December 1948. On the basis of his guilty verdict, he was classified as an "incriminated person" in a new denazification process.

On February 8, 1950, Dienhart had a serious car accident that restricted him for the rest of his life. He died in Morbach in 1987.
