Georg Stierle

Life and work

Stierle was born the son of a carpenter. After attending primary school, he completed an apprenticeship as a technical draftsman. He joined the free trade unions in 1916 and worked as a commercial employee until 1933, including as managing director of a non-profit cooperative in Frankfurt am Main. After the takeover of the Nazis he was released in 1936 arrested for illegal political activity and sentenced to eight months in prison after a ten-month custody for conspiracy to commit treason. He served his prison sentence in the Lichtenburg and Buchenwald concentration camps until April 1939 . He then ran a grocery store in Frankfurt am Main.

Since Stierle threatened to be detained again a few months after his release from the Buchenwald concentration camp, he accepted an offer from the Gestapo to work for them as an undercover agent (according to his own statements in the later denazification process ) . However, since Stierle only submitted general reports and did not specifically denounce anyone, the Gestapo lost interest in him and after a while stopped contacting him.

From 1943 to 1945 he took part in the Second World War as a soldier . He was most recently taken prisoner, from which he was released in 1945.

From 1945 to 1965, Stierle was a managing board member of the Frankfurter Volks-, Bau- und Sparverein. He also acted as chairman of the Association of Southwest German Housing Companies.
