Life and work

Hans Bible was the only child of his parents Johann and Elise Bibel, geb. Engelhardt. He grew up in Nuremberg , where he attended secondary school until 1916 and then the Royal Bavarian Teachers' College in Altdorf . In 1918 he was drafted to train recruits and to serve at the front in Flanders, for which he was awarded the Cross of Honor in 1936 . After completing the final seminar exam, the four-year preparatory service and the employment test, he started teaching in Georgensgmünd in 1923 and in the Thusneldaschule in Nuremberg from 1927, which he held until his retirement in 1962.

From 1936 he was trained as a reserve officer in the Wehrmacht alongside his professional activities . As such, he was called up to serve at the beginning of the war in 1939 until the end of the war, seriously wounded in the attack on Poland , deployed on the Eastern Front in 1943/1944 and promoted to captain of the reserve in 1944. In 1945 he was briefly captured by the Americans.

After a serious illness caused by the war, he returned to school at the Thusnelda School in Nuremberg at the end of the war. In 1954 he was appointed rector of the wooden garden school, whose buildings, which had been destroyed by the war, were rebuilt during his term of office.

He was volunteer as an organist and choir director, award-winning pigeon fancier of the Nuremberg swallows and Strasser varieties, as well as in a number of clubs.

In 1927 he married Maria Bibel, geb. Frame builder. The marriage resulted in the two children Annelore and Wolfgang . After the death of his wife in 1962, he married Martha Bibel, b. Long. He died in 1967 of complications from a heart attack.

Political and school political activities

In 1919 Hans Bibel joined the Bavarian Teachers 'Association (BLV), today the Bavarian Teachers' Association ( BLLV), first became its chairman in Middle Franconia in its working group for Bavarian Young Teachers (ABJ) and, in 1927, deputy regional chairman in Bavaria and thus co-editor of the German Young Teachers -Zeitung as well as co-founder of the school country home improvement. He also appeared as the author of many articles a. a. in this newspaper and as a speaker. In 1933 he lost his school political offices as a result of the National Socialist takeover. After the war he was active again in a number of functions in terms of school policy, for example as a representative of the Nuremberg teaching staff in the city of school care, as chairman of the staff council in the Nuremberg II school supervisory district and as a district committee member in the BLLV.

From 1925 to 1933 he was a member of the German Democratic Party (DDP) and its young democrats . In 1937 he became a member of the NSDAP and was therefore considered a follower after the war . In 1946 he founded the local association of the Free Democratic Party (FDP) in Georgensgmünd and participated in the founding and development of the district association of the FDP in Nuremberg together with Thomas Dehler and Fritz Linnert . In 1952 he was elected to the Nuremberg city council, was elected chairman of the FDP city council faction in 1953 and also to the district assembly of Middle Franconia in 1954 and retained this and the related offices, such as membership in the Nuremberg council of elders, until his death. 1956 to 1966 he was also FDP district chairman for the district of Nuremberg .
