Life

Fritz Harzendorf was a German publicist and publisher who was active in southern Germany. He studied economics, philosophy and history in Heidelberg, Munich, Leipzig and England and completed his studies with a doctorate. Harzendorf began his journalistic career in 1913 with the evening newspaper in Konstanz, served as an officer in the First World War, founded the Oberländer Zeitung in Singen, and from 1929 headed the newspaper Der Hohenstaufen in Göppingen. During the National Socialist era , Harzendorf - a declared opponent of National Socialism - was banned from working. In 1946 he founded the Neue Württembergische Zeitung with Karl Aberle , of which he was editor-in-chief until 1963. Harzendorf died in 1964.

In his book So it came: the German Irrweg from Bismarck to Hitler (Konstanz, Südverlag), Harzendorf calculated in the spring of 1946 extensively long-term undesirable developments in Germany, which he believed had led to National Socialism. Among the causes he counted the stab in the back legend , post-war politics, the Prussian spirit, the fememicide of the Weimar period , but also Bismarck's emphasis on "blood and soil" to solve German problems.

Fritz Harzendorf dealt in detail with the history of the imperial city of Überlingen , which he regarded as his hometown. His main work is the large Überlingen residents' book 1444–1800 , which allows comprehensive social and personal historical access to the Überlingen residents at the end of the Middle Ages and in the early modern period. Harzendorf was a member of the Association for the History of Lake Constance and its Surroundings , in whose writings he published further works on the history of Überlingen.

Harzendorf is also one of the founders of the Michael Foundation to research and combat the causes of epilepsy.
