Franz Hochstetter

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Franz Hochstetter (born October 14, 1880 in Berlin , † October 8, 1948 in Ulm - Wiblingen ) was a German economist . He worked u. a. as an economist and business advisor in Berlin-Schmargendorf .

Life

Hochstetter was in contact with John Maynard Keynes , was an employee of Otto Lautenbach at the magazine Schule der Freiheit , and initially a "respected National Socialist". He was a founding member of the Rolandbund , an organization that had the goal of spreading free economic ideas in the NSDAP .

In 1936, Hochstetter resigned from the NSDAP as a result of party court proceedings brought against him by Reichsbank President Hjalmar Schacht in 1935 , which led to the confiscation of his writing Schule der Volkswirtschaft (military publishing house, Fürstenwalde / Spree 1935). The School of Economics is found in the 1938 list of harmful and undesirable literature . After 1938, despite the ban on the free trade movement issued during the Nazi era, a so-called free trade working group was formed , to which, in addition to Franz Hochstetter, Otto Lautenbach and Karl Walker belonged. They came together “irregularly, but continuously”. As part of this group, the three named developed an immediate program in 1943/44 to overcome the consequences of the war financially and economically .

After the end of the war, in the Soviet occupation zone, his book Loan Capital and Gold Currency as Foundations of Gold Slavery in Germany ( Eher , Munich 1931) was placed on the list of literature to be segregated. In the GDR , this list was followed by School of Economics and More Land! (Politics, Berlin 1917).

In the Baden-Württemberg State Archives there is a file on Hochstetter's court proceedings in Ulm .

Franz Hochstetter was married to the pastor's daughter Katharina Dorothea Walter (1887–1945).
