from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Otto Angerer (born February 15, 1893 in Seebach , † March 28, 1951 in Speyer ), often called Otto Angerer , was a German politician ( NSDAP ).

Life

Angerer grew up as the son of a forest manager, first in Seebach, then in Germersheim . After elementary school and high school , he joined the Württemberg Army and in 1912 became a flagjunker in the 9th Württemberg Infantry Regiment No. 127 , which was stationed in Ulm . In 1914 he became an officer at the Hanover War School . At the First World War he took recently as brigade adjutant part and was established in March 1918 as a lieutenant dismissed from the military service. He then worked as an estate manager and in 1927 took over the family business, a game and fish shop in Germersheim.

On April 1, 1931, he joined the NSDAP ( membership number 463.866), shortly thereafter the Sturmabteilung (SA), where he later rose to the rank of Standartenführer z. V. of Brigade 51 in Neustadt an der Haardt , he was also a special commissioner in Germersheim. From June 1924 to 1936 he was Gau inspector of the Gaus Rheinpfalz and responsible for Neustadt and Landstuhl . From 1936 to 1945 he was honorary mayor of Germersheim, Lingenfeld and Westheim .

In September 1940 he became mayor of Saargemünd . In May 1942, however, he was deposed because he wanted to protect a woman from Lorraine from deportation. In Lorraine he was also Gaujägermeister from 1941 until the end of the war. From December 15, 1942, however, he was again employed as Gauinspektor der Westmark .

After the Second World War he was arrested in Germersheim and interned in Wörth am Rhein . The Chamber I of Neustadt removed him from the public service as an “incriminated person”. After the revision of the proceedings, he was denazified on March 28, 1950 by the Chamber II as a "minor offender" .

At the end of 2009, a gallery with photos of the former mayors of Germersheim was installed in the Germersheim town hall. On one of them Angerer was shown in Nazi uniform. This led to a debate about the meaning of the image and how to deal with the city's historical past. In 2011, a comment was added to the picture of Angerer and that of his predecessor, Fritz Wolf , referring to the city's National Socialist past.
