Life

Stumbling block for Franz Rheinberger in Lichtstrasse, Cologne-Ehrenfeld

Rheinberger came from a poor family. He does not belong to any political group. At the age of 17 he had lost his job in April 1944 because of "strolling around at work", but had accepted an illegal substitute job on a construction site. Here he met Hans Steinbrück , a prisoner who had fled the Cologne-Messe subcamp. Around 100 gathered around him, including numerous young people who were united as anti-fascists , forced laborers who had fled , Jews in hiding and deserters with the intention of escaping the war or shortening the duration of the war by using force against militarily important institutions. He joined them. When Rheinberger, along with Barthel Schink and Adolf Schütz, had obtained weapons for the Ehrenfeld group , all three were arrested by the criminal police on October 4, 1944 .

In June 1944, Rheinberger met another young man at the Körnerstrasse bunker who was gathering a group of edelweiss pirates : Bartholomäus Schink . He introduced him to the group that gathered in the inner green belt at Ehrenfeld Loch . Participation in the group around Hans Steinbrück seemed more important to them after a while, so that they no longer got into the "hole".

After their arrest in October 1944, 13 members of the Ehrenfeld group were hanged in public on November 10, 1944 in Hüttenstrasse without a court judgment . Franz Rheinberger was one of them.
