Hans-Bernhard von Grünberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans-Bernhard von Grünberg (born March 30, 1903 in Pritzig , † June 15, 1975 in Munich ) was a German political scientist and National Socialist . From 1937 to 1944 he was the last rector of the Albertus University in Königsberg . In the post-war period after the Second World War in Germany , he sat on the board of the German Reich Party and the National Democratic Party of Germany .

Life

As a professor of political science, Grünberg became a member of the NSDAP in Königsberg in 1931 . For them he sat in 1933 in the provincial parliament of the province of East Prussia . Until his replacement by Theodor Oberländer (1933) he was acting head of the Institute for Eastern European Economy . From 1934 he was full professor for economic political science. In Nazi Dozentenbund he was from 1935 to 1945 Gaudozentenbundführer in Gau East Prussia . In 1937 he was appointed rector of the Königsberg University. In 1938 he was also the district head of the NSDAP.

In 1942 Hermann Rauschning dedicated a chapter of his book Men of Chaos to Grünberg while in exile in the United States . In it he revealed that Grünberg had already planned large economic and traffic-technical areas in the entire west of what was then the Soviet Union in the 1930s. After the university was bombed in the air raids on Königsberg in late August 1944 , he volunteered for the army . On the Eastern Front he was taken prisoner by the Soviets , from which he was released in 1951. He found a new home in Wuppertal and worked there as a graduate economist.

Along with Karl Kaufmann , Friedrich Karl Florian and Wilhelm Meinberg, he belonged to the inner leadership circle of the Naumann Circle , which wanted to bring National Socialism back to power. The German Reich Party (1950) saw him in 1955 as a member of their party leadership. From 1964 he was a member of the founding board of the NPD . Later he sat on the federal executive board.
