Life

Hans Bongard studied philosophy and then became a teacher. In 1919 he was appointed to the Saarbrücken City School Council. From 1922 on, Bongard and Walther Stein edited the book series Welt und Zeit .

In 1927 he joined the German-Saarland People's Party . In the same year, Bongard became second chairman of the Saar Research Association (SFG), the establishment of which he had helped to prepare intensively. In 1930, Bongard was the organizer of the Saarland celebrations at the end of the Allied occupation of the Rhineland . For his services to the Saarland and Rhineland culture, he was awarded an honorary doctorate from the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn .

After his party was absorbed into the German Front , he held the office of cultural advisory council . After the annexation of the Saar area , he became a member of the NSDAP and the National Socialist teachers' association . However, Bongard was considered a “ Jew friend ” within the party , as he had previously employed Jewish musicians and in 1933 performed pieces by hated composers. Richard Hellriegel , country director of the Reichsmusikkammer , finally managed to keep Bongard away from cultural-political tasks. Bongard resigned from his offices and left Saarbrücken.
