Life

Friedrich Hänichen was born in Bautzen in 1883 as the son of the secretary (and later governor of Grimma ) Friedrich Wilhelm Albin Hänichen who was active in the local district administration. From 1896 to 1904 he attended the Princely School in Grimma . Hänichen passed his first state examination in law in 1909. He then took up a job as a trainee lawyer in Lauenstein in the Eastern Ore Mountains . In 1915, Hänichen passed the second state examination in law, became an assessor and received his doctorate .

He settled in 1914 in Erla , where he married and in the official city Schwarzenberg administrative work in the Amtshauptmannschaft Schwarzenberg recorded. This activity was interrupted by military service in World War I , in which he had participated with the rank of officer. He became a member of the DVP and the Stahlhelm, Bund der Frontsoldaten .

In 1923 he was dismissed from the administration for insulting civil servants, whereupon he went into business for himself as a manufacturer of skis after appropriate training in 1924. In Schwarzenberg he became chairman of the local ski club.

In 1933, despite disapproval from the NSDAP , he was taken back into the administrative service as deputy governor of Schwarzenberg. In 1934, Hänichen was expelled from the SA , to which the Stahlhelm had been subordinated in 1933. Since 1944 he acted as the acting district administrator in Schwarzenberg, but was not appointed to the office of district administrator due to a lack of NSDAP membership.

After the end of World War II and the unoccupied period in May / June 1945 , during which he remained acting district administrator, Hänichen was confirmed as district administrator on June 29, 1945 by the Soviet commander of Annaberg . On July 26th, however, he was dismissed from this position again at the instigation of local representatives of the KPD . Hänichen then took over his ski workshop again and also manufactured consumer goods.

He was one of the persecuted people in the Soviet occupation zone and the GDR . Without trial or conviction, he was imprisoned from January 4, 1946 to January 17, 1950 because of the position he held during the Nazi era in the special camp in Bautzen . From November 1945 to November 1948 his property was also sequestered . In April 1949, his family was supposed to be forcibly relocated , but could remain in Schwarzenberg. After his release from prison in Bautzen, Hänichen returned to Schwarzenberg in 1950. On the recommendation of the SED city leadership, he remained under observation by the Ministry for State Security , which stated in 1952 that it was not participating in the rebuilding of socialism and was still a reactionary . Unfounded accusations were made against Hänichen that he was leading and directing hostile operations against the GDR. From 1955 to 1957 he was detained again. He died in Aue in 1962 at the age of 79.
