Friedrich Hilble

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Hilble (born June 10, 1881 , † June 4, 1937 ) was a Munich administrative officer and professional city councilor .

To person

Friedrich Hilble joined the Munich city administration in 1917. He was later until his death in 1937 head of the Munich welfare office and professional city councilor. Even before the seizure of power by the Nazis in 1933, he was a proponent of compulsory labor for the unemployed and cuts in social spending, then he pursued this line against " antisocial " and "parasites" more consistently. Finally, he also made a name for himself in the discrimination against Jewish welfare recipients and sought training for his employees in “race care” and Nazi ideology. Although he was not a member of the NSDAP , he did join the NSV . During the Weimar Republic he was a member of the BVP .

The first proposal for the imprisonment of the unemployed and welfare recipients in the Dachau concentration camp came from Hilble's office, with the aim of deterring and marginalizing them. Hilble himself wrote in 1937:

“In order to ensure the success of the job placement of the supported for the future, the communities [...] will continue the methods that they have used in recent years, without the employment offices having given them special support , including so-called hopeless cases. These methods are called: compulsory work, welfare work, support bans if work is refused, the toughest action against slackers, lazy people, those who refuse to provide support, etc. Especially at the current level of development, one will not be able to do without such facilities where it is necessary to work in work who do not want to work and allegedly also cannot. "

- Friedrich Hilble : "The new regulation of supportive unemployment assistance". In: The parish day. Journal for German community politics. Volume 31, No. 4 from February 15, 1937.

From 1934, “work-shy” welfare recipients could actually be sent to the Dachau concentration camp; the Munich welfare office under Hilble was Bavaria's front runner. Hilble thus embodied "the creeping slide of social policy into the völkisch fairway". The political scientist Claudia Brunner characterized him as a “perfect example of a dutiful, meticulous German civil servant” whose “merits” consisted of the “relentless implementation of National Socialist ideas” and “unrestricted loyalty to an inhuman regime”. A stronger involvement of Hilble in National Socialism , so Brunner is convinced, was only prevented by his death in 1937 due to a gall disease.

Street named after Hilble

In 1956 Hilblestrasse was named after Hilble in Neuhausen-Nymphenburg on the site of a former barracks . His special merit, according to the official justification, was his initiative as the deserved head of the municipal welfare and youth welfare office to build an old people's home (the St. Josef Heim, now part of the Münchenstift gGmbH).

In 2012, the Neuhausen history workshop published the book From “Aiblingerstraße” to “Zum Künstlerhof” , in which the street names in Munich's Neuhausen-Nymphenburg district are explained. Concerning Hilblestrasse it says: "About ten years after the Nazi regime, naming a street after a man who supported the Nazi system and thus the decreed anti-Semitism and put it into practice is actually incomprehensible." City to change this "untenable situation". The district committee of Neuhausen-Nymphenburg then applied to the Munich city council to review the naming of this street. The municipal committee decided to wait for the results of a study commissioned by the city council: Since 2010, the role of the Munich city administration in the Nazi era has been investigated at the Ludwig Maximilians University . Possible street renaming should only take place after the publication of this study, which should happen within a period of 15 years.

Hilblestrasse was the subject of the art project Memory Gaps - memory gaps by the painter Konstanze Sailer . The "administrative bad taste" was pointed out that Hilblestrasse is a side street of Dachauer Strasse. As part of her project, the artist temporarily renamed Hilblestrasse to Henriette-Rothkirch-Strasse after a Jewish resister who was murdered in the Bernburg killing center .
