Life

As the son of a general practitioner, Haas attended the new X-ray high school . After graduating from high school, he initially wanted to become a farmer . After his apprenticeship , he turned to law . He enrolled at the Albertus University in Königsberg and became a member of the Corps Masovia in the summer semester of 1923 . In that semester, a large agricultural workers' strike was called in East Prussia . With several Corps brothers Haas went to the technical emergency aid on farm work in the lowlands . When he stayed on his estate during the semester break, the relationship with the farm workers became extremely good. They had previously viewed the students as scabs . The helpers were rewarded with a hundredweight of rye per week. That brought in some money in the German inflation from 1914 to 1923 , but it shrank considerably when the Rentenmark was introduced in January 1924. Like almost all students at the SC zu Königsberg, Haas joined the Reichswehr in Lötzen at the end of winter . The big autumn maneuver ended with a military parade in front of Paul von Hindenburg .

Haas continued his studies at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn , the University of Hamburg and Cologne . The clerkship he made in the Rhineland . After the assessor exam he entered the internal administration of the Free State of Prussia . He was Regierungsassessor in Berlin and Government in Saarbrücken and Frankfurt (Oder) . Even before the outbreak of World War II , he was in 1939 District Administrator of the district Calau . The agricultural and industrial conditions of Niederlausitz presented the administration with difficult problems.

Haas fought at times as an infantry officer and company commander in the army (Wehrmacht) on the Eastern Front . In February 1940 he became second general staff officer of a regiment in the west. In 1943 it was on the Azov Sea . With the war, his work as district administrator also ended.

In the post-war period he made his way as a tractor driver . He moved to southern Württemberg , where he could live with his wife and two children. In 1948 he entered the service of the state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern . When the south-western state emerged, he came to the Ministry of Economics in Stuttgart . Immediately promoted to the Upper Government Council , he retired in 1968. Haas was a swimmer and diver . He loved the sea , but stayed in Freudenstadt. After he died and was cremated, his ashes were thrown into the sea.
