Florian Seidl (born April 30, 1893 in Regensburg , † December 6, 1972 in Rosenheim ) was a German writer .

Life

The trained elementary school teacher Florian Seidl wrote poems, novels, short stories, radio plays and several plays for the amateur play movement in the 1920s. In 1929 Blut was published , a collection of historical prose books on the battle of the sexes.

With his publications from 1933 onwards, Florian Seidl explicitly placed himself in the service of National Socialist ideology (e.g. through the positive portrayal of the euthanasia idea in his novel Das harte Ja ). Seidl was one of the most important authors of the Franz-Eher-Verlag , the central publishing house of the NSDAP . During the Second World War , the circulation of his books was promoted through special editions for soldiers. Seidl regularly took part in the National Socialist Weimar poet meetings.

After 1945 Seidl worked as a teacher in Munich and published very little. In 1954 he was awarded the Nordgau Culture Prize (previously Honor Prize) of the city of Amberg in the field of poetry. In 1961, together with the co-partner of the Süddeutsche Zeitung, Hans Dürrmeier , he initiated the Schwabing Art Prize of the City of Munich, which he himself was awarded as an honorary prize in 1972.

In Regensburg, Seidl was awarded the Albertus Magnus Medal in 1953 by Lord Mayor Hans Herrmann , who was mayor and NSDAP member there during the Nazi era . In 1973 a street was named after him there. a. a school for the disabled. After Seidl's work in the Nazi era was publicly discussed in 1996, the CSU majority in the city council prevented a renaming for years, among other things with the help of a statement by the city archivist Heinrich Wanderwitz , according to which the streets and paths leading to Brecht , Tucholsky or Luther , other names would have to be given. After an intervention by the Bavarian State Government, the name of the street was changed to Johann-Hösl-Straße in December 1999.
