Gregor Schwartz-Bostunitsch

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gregor Wilhelmowitsch Schwartz-Bostunitsch (born December 1, 1883 in Kiev , Russian Empire ; † after 1945 ; his death is completely unexplained), also: Grigorij V. Svarc-Bostunic , pseudonym : Doctor Gregor , was a German-Russian journalist and theater critic , SS standard leader and ethnic esotericist .

Life

Schwartz-Bostunitsch on his father's side came from a well-known German-Baltic family from Riga , on his mother's side he had ancestors from Serbia and Bavaria. First he studied law and worked as a journalist and theater critic . In the most varied of biographies there are repeated references that he stayed in Germany before the First World War . Its exact whereabouts are difficult to prove. In August 1914, the Schwartz-Bostunitsch family stayed in Bad Kissingen . There she was surprised by the start of the World War, interned by the German authorities and finally deported to Russia .

Schwartz-Bostunitsch already distinguished himself in the Russian Empire with anti-Semitic and occult writings. He had come into conflict with the communists during the October Revolution . He was involved in the Russian Civil War on the side of the White Guard generals Denikin and Wrangel . There he was, among other things, an agitator with the troops that led the fight against the Bolsheviks . After their defeat, he first fled to the Balkans and eventually came to Central Germany.

Escape to Germany

There he made contact with the relevant circles relatively quickly. Connections both to the so-called " Coburg Circle " and to the early National Socialists (to E. v. Scheubner-Richter , an early companion of Hitler ) are documented. He appeared in Munich in 1922. There he came into contact with Hitler, Rosenberg and the NSDAP . It began his lecturing activity, with which he evidently earned his living. He also published a variety of books. Lectures and books revolve around the same topics over and over again: the " Jewish-Bolshevik World Conspiracy ", occultism and Freemasonry . For example, in October 1932 in Neustadt an der Aisch in Middle Franconia he gave a lecture on the reign of terror in Russia during the revolution (“German Michel, who you are still sleeping, wake up knowing that Jewish communist leaders in Germany have said: In Germany has to bleed 10 times as much as in Russia [...] ”). In his most widespread book on Freemasonry, he also describes architectural details of the Würzburg Cathedral , which allows conclusions to be drawn about his knowledge of the area in northern Bavaria. A residence at this time was among other things Erfurt.

Cooperation with Alfred Rosenberg

The two National Socialists of German-Baltic descent worked closely together for years. Schwartz-Bostunitsch repeatedly published articles in the monthly or quarterly magazine " Weltkampf ". It was one of the earliest ideology forges of the NSDAP, which was headed by the party's chief ideologist, Alfred Rosenberg .

After the transfer of power to Hitler and the National Socialists, Schwartz-Bostunitsch made a steep career with the SS (at least part of the time an employee of the Ahnenerbe ) and became a member of the NSDAP (membership number 859.390). Although there were doubts about the character of the occultist and esotericist, especially about Reinhard Heydrich , he was still allowed to go. Personality disorders in the sense of paranoia are also mentioned. Finally, in 1944, he received the rank of SS-Standartenführer. Towards the end of the Second World War he tried to save his extensive library of Judaica , Occulta and Masonica from bombing raids on Silesia .

The unclear end of life

The last known act in his life is the promotion to SS-Standartenführer by Heinrich Himmler . This took place on November 9, 1944, the significant date of the Hitler putsch in Munich for the National Socialists . The last traces of Schwartz-Bostunitsch include a few letters with denunciations from January 11, 1945. Nothing is known about his whereabouts. In May 1946 his name appears for the last time on a list of prisoners of SS officers compiled by the High Command of the American Armed Forces; this list is in a Moscow archive.

Michael Hagemeister also reports the following:

“Schwartz-Bostunitsch made only a few trips from Silesia. One of them took him to Prague in November 1944. There, for the first and last time, the 'Working Group for Research into the Bolshevik World Danger', which Rosenberg had recently founded, met. It was planned to produce a large 'handbook of Bolshevism'. It is not known whether Schwartz-Bostunitsch was also involved. "
