Friedrich Reck-Malleczewen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Percyval stretching Malleczewen [ malətʃeːvn̩ ], actually Friedrich (Fritz) Reck (* 11 August 1884 on the Good Malleczewen , Kreis Lyck , Prussia ; † 16th / 17th February 1945 in the Dachau concentration camp ) was a German physician and writer . As a Christian, he stood against National Socialism .

Origin and education

As the son of the East Prussian manor owner and Conservative MP Hermann Reck and his wife Emma nee. Pietschmann (1854–1923), Friedrich Reck attended the Royal Lyck High School . Although he actually wanted to be a musician , after graduating from high school in 1904, at the insistence of his father, he joined the Infantry Regiment Grand Duke of Saxony (5th Thuringian) No. 94 in Jena . He broke off his career as an officer and studied medicine at the Albertus University of Königsberg and the University of Innsbruck . After the state examination (1910) he was promoted to Dr. med. PhD . Reck worked as an assistant doctor at the Königsberg University Hospital , but soon gave up this position to write for newspapers.

Private life

While still a student, Reck married the German-Baltic woman Anna Louise Büttner (1880–1980), a music student and daughter of the Riga- based Imperial Russian State Councilor Alfred Büttner (1836–1910), in 1908 . The marriage had the children Barbara Amata (born 1908), Ursula Susanne (born 1912), Juliane (called Ane, born 1917) and Thomas Wytold (born 1925, missing in World War II ), the divorce took place in 1930, after Years of separation. While his wife and two daughters were moving from Königsberg to Pasing near Munich , Reck traveled in the second half of 1912, partly as a ship's doctor , by steamship through South and then North America, which he reported regularly in the Ostpreussische Zeitung . In September of the following year, he took up a position as a feature editor and theater critic at the newly founded Süddeutsche Zeitung in Stuttgart , which he stayed until March 1914, soon after which he became an intern at the Royal Court and National Theater in Munich. Since then he lived, initially with his first wife and their children, until 1933 in Pasing, at Mussinanstraße 10 (today Nimmerfallstraße 11). Since stretching under diabetes mellitus was suffering, he was in the First World War not convened.

As early as 1913, Reck had met the Jewish bookseller Irma Glaser (1886–1933) from Böheimkirchen , Lower Austria , in Munich . From 1917 she worked part-time as a secretary for Reck and "soon became indispensable for him through her knowledge, her writing work, but then also through her organizational skills in financial matters and finally through her intimate familiarity with his 'real' life, his role play and his intentions" . In addition, it served as a template for the novella Die Fremde (Berlin 1917). At first Glaser lived alternately in Pasing, Bern and Vienna, then from 1920 in the house of her partner Reck in Pasing, always "diligently trying to compensate for the difficulties of his character in dealing with other people". The anti-Semitic writer Bruno Brehm portrayed the couple stretching and glazing as well as triangle first wife years later in The Liar (Vienna 1949), "his dodgy roman à clef about Reck". At the beginning of 1930, the Recks house, who was "a well-known original of the Munich bohemian ", founded the legendary Tukan Circle , which still exists today . After almost twenty years together, Irma Glaser died in 1933, the year Adolf Hitler and the NSDAP "came to power " , under unexplained circumstances, due to gas poisoning in Reck's house. Reck himself assumed suicide .

In the same year, Reck converted from Protestantism to Catholicism and moved into the Poing estate near Truchtlaching in Chiemgau , which he had acquired in 1925 . In 1935 Reck married Irmgard von Borcke , the adopted daughter of a befriended nobleman; from this marriage three daughters were born. From September 1944 until the end of the war, the Reck couple hid Albertine Gimpel (1896–1973), a Jew from the Gestapo, on their estate in Poing . Gimpel was a friend and after the war the wife of the painter Franz Herda (1887–1965), who was good friends with Reck and who also helped other Jews to save themselves from murder.

Reck's entire life was faced with the problem of dealing with his real economic decline, which was incompatible with the consciousness - conditioned by his origin - of belonging to a social and intellectual elite . His literary production, which was primarily tailored to marketability, can also be seen in this light. In 1931 Reck said: “As before, I can no longer [...] keep the best things I have to say to myself and write novels for maids and cab drivers. In my life I cannot line up newspaper novels like telegraph poles on a road and leave works that only I can write as torsos. "

Concentration camp imprisonment and death

Like other representatives of the conservative revolution , Reck initially hoped that National Socialism could stop the social leveling of the individual. The Diary of a Desperate Man , begun in 1936, shows that his hope has turned to hatred of the Nazis. He calls them the “herd of evil monkeys”. He accuses the resistance fighters of July 20, 1944 around Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg of having brought Hitler to power. On the other hand, he sympathizes with the student resistance of the White Rose around the Scholl siblings .

Due to a denunciation (for which, according to the Süddeutscher Zeitung of May 2, 1948, the publishing director Alfred Salat was sentenced to three years in a labor camp by the Spruchkammer München X) he was arrested by the Gestapo in 1944 , but a short time later with the certificate that neither there was something against him politically still criminally dismissed. However, his informer enforced that he was on New Year's Eve 1944 for "denigrating the German currency" (for example, in a letter to his Berlin publisher he is said to have forbidden payment in Reichsmarks because "no more nickel could be placed on this currency") arrested and taken to Dachau concentration camp on January 9, 1945 , where he died a little later.

The exact circumstances of his death are not known. Curt Thesing , who took over the administration of the literary estate on behalf of the widow Irmgard Reck-Malleczewen, writes in the preface to the diary of a desperate man (on November 3, 1946) that he “on February 24 - as far as his friends were able to determine the cause of death - by shot in the neck ”died. Other sources cite February 17th or 16th as the date of death. Strangely enough, Nico Rost describes in his Goethe diary in Dachau an encounter with Reck in the concentration camp on April 15, 1945. In her biographical epilogue to the 1994 edition of the diary , Christinezeile names typhus as the cause of death .

Literary work

Friedrich Reck-Malleczewen repeatedly processed his travel experiences in his novels. He also wrote numerous youth stories. His role model was Robert Louis Stevenson , but his work is close to trivial literature .

His 1930 novel Bombs on Monte Carlo (which essentially plagiarized the Fantômas novel La Main Coupée ) was made into two films.

As a writer in National Socialist Germany , Friedrich Reck-Malleczewen can be assigned to internal emigration . In his (re) Anabaptist novel Bockelson , published in 1937 . The story of a mass madness he describes the decline of the formerly class-conservative city of Münster in the 16th century, which developed into a populist dictatorship under the influence of the petty-bourgeois demagogue Bockelson . A comparison of the Anabaptist empire of Münster under its “leader” Jan Bockelson with the social conditions of the Third Reich is intended. “At no time did the National Socialists recognize the explosive political nature of the book [...]”, it was also “never banned”, but mostly received very benevolent reviews, especially in the National Socialist press. The novel has been examined several times in literary studies as an example of the historical novel or the handling of historical topics by authors of inner emigration.

Reck-Malleczewen's diary, which he began in May 1936 and which lasted until his arrest in October 1944, was first published in 1947 as a book under the title Diary of a Desperate Man . It was only published again by Goverts-Verlag in 1966, not least thanks to the advocacy of Peter Härtling , and since then has been reprinted four times by other publishers - including Eichborn Verlag in Hans Magnus Enzensberger's Other Library - (1971, 1981, 1994 and most recently 2015) . With its clairvoyant and brilliantly written diagnosis of Nazi barbarism, the diary is considered an important contemporary document and was also received internationally, in some cases enthusiastically: translations into Dutch (1968) and Spanish (2009) appeared, the translation into French experienced two editions (1968 and 2015), four into English (1970, 1995, 2000 and 2013), and Reck's diary was translated twice into Italian (1970 and 2015).

In March 2015, the Munich city council decided that Monacensia , the literary archive of the city of Munich, should acquire Reck-Malleczewen's literary estate.

Honor of the couple Reck-Malleczewen as Righteous Among the Nations

On January 14, 2014, Friedrich Reck-Malleczewen and his second wife Irmgard Reck-Malleczewen were welcomed by the Yad Vashem memorial together with Franz Herda, his daughter Vera Manthey (1918–1955) and Eduard Winkler for their help in the rescue of Albertine Gimpel, Max Bachmann (1883–1966) and Richard Marx (born 1925, after the war husband Vera Mantheys) honored as Righteous Among the Nations .
