Georg Keil

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Keil (born September 21, 1905 in Jauer , Province of Silesia , † May 18, 1990 in Kiel ) was a German economist and spatial planner. Georg Keil came from the Bundischen youth movement , and since the mid-1930s has dealt with spatial planning and regional planning, regional structural policy, the development of settlement structures and problems surrounding cities and towns. As head of the state planning authority in Kiel, Keil worked on the official publications of state planning in Schleswig-Holstein.

Training and early companions

In 1927 Georg Keil completed his studies in law and political science at the Universities of Breslau , Vienna and Kiel (1924–1927) with a degree in economics. In 1931 he was promoted to Dr. sc. pol. PhD at the University of Kiel. From 1930 to 1933, Keil worked as a teacher and research assistant. During this time, he mainly dealt with issues relating to the labor camp movement. Georg Keil directed the " Boberhaus Grenzvolksschulheim " in Löwenberg / Silesia. If the Academy for Spatial Research and Regional Planning assumes that Keil has had a management function since 1931, Walter Greiff mentions January 1, 1933. In mid-June 1933, Greiff then replaced Georg Keil in the management of the home. Another publication mentions the years 1932/1933 as Keil's leadership position.

Around the Grenzvolksschulheim the “Boberhaus-Kreis” was formed. a. Adolf Reichwein , Artur von Machui , Hans Raupach and Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy belonged (see also: Löwenberger Arbeitsgemeinschaft , Schlesische Jungmannschaft , Kreisauer Kreis ).

Various trips took members of the Silesian Young Team to Southeast Europe in the 1930s . Southeastern European colleges were held at the Boberhaus (1932, 1934, 1935), some of which Keil reported on. The Leipzig sociologist Gunther Ipsen started his "Sociological Village Weeks" (1930/1931) in conjunction with the young team. Through contacts of Leipzig social scientists to Romania, village sociological working methods also came to Germany. Interrelationships between regional planning, spatial research and sociology persisted through (former) Leipzig social scientists even in the first post-war decade ( Hans Freyer , Karl Heinz Pfeffer , Hans Jürgen Seraphim , Hans Linde , Erich Dittrich , Karl Thalheim , Wolfgang Schmerler and others).

At the end of 1933, Georg Keil was appointed director of the newly founded farming school in Groß-Bölkau near Danzig . He remained in this position until mid-1935.

Confluence with Nazi regional planning

In 1935, Keil's dissertation “The Lower Silesian Industrial Area. Its development and emergency ”(Berlin). Between 1937 and 1939 Georg Keil worked as a district planner for the government in Köslin ( Koszalin ). From 1940 to 1942 he was a department head at the general consultant for spatial planning in Gdansk. In a source for the " Generalplan Ost " a "Dr. Keil" is mentioned who would have worked for Rosenberg as well as for Himmler in the context of settlement planning for the Ukraine (March 1943).

After 1945: State planner in Schleswig-Holstein

In 1945 and 1946, Georg Keil was involved in setting up the Housing and Refugee Office for the Rendsburg district as well as an allotment garden department for the Oberpräsident in Kiel ( Theodor Steltzer ). Keil built up the spatial planning in Schleswig-Holstein (from 1946 onwards) , which had now become the sole state affair primarily as state planning .

Initially, Georg Keil was deputy state planner for Schleswig-Holstein (until 1949), and from the same year (until 1970) head of the authority. Keil contributed to the official publications " Spatial Planning Plan for Schleswig-Holstein of 1948" (and subsequently the plan in 1969) and the " Regional Spatial Planning Program for Schleswig-Holstein" (1967).

Keil also participated in the working group of state planners , the first conference for spatial planning, in the committees of the ministerial conference for spatial planning and in the joint state planning council Hamburg / Schleswig-Holstein.

From 1960 to 1965 Georg Keil was Vice President of the Academy for Spatial Research and Regional Planning (ARL, Hanover). In 1970 he retired.
