He taught from 1933 to 1941 at the educational institution Banatia in Timișoara and was headmaster of the grammar school in Bela Crkva ( German Weißkirchen ) from 1941 to 1944 .
During this time he worked at the cultural office of the "German ethnic group in the Banat and Serbia" in Zrenjanin . The NS - Office Walter was in 1943 editor of the speeches of the ethnic group leader Josef Janko . He also published his own speeches in the series of books by the German People's Group. At the end of the Second World War , as part of the evacuation of the German ethnic group from the Banat in 1944 , he fled the advancing Red Army to West Germany . From 1949 he was the managing director of the Banat Swabian Landsmannschaft , where he also edited the Banat Post .

The coat of arms of the Danube Swabian country team
In 1950, Hans Diplich designed the coat of arms of the Danube Swabian Landsmannschaft . A red armored, soaring black eagle on a golden background, divided by a blue wavy bar. In the lower half there is a six-towered white Vauban fortress with a curtain wall and red-roofed buildings on green arable land . On the left in the coat of arms is the shining sun, on the right the waning moon.
The eagle symbolizes the patronage of the emperors of Austria . The blue bar stands for the Danube as a stream of fate , on which the ancestors once drove downstream in the Swabian trains with Ulmer Schachteln and Kelheimer Platten to their new home. The rising, shining sun symbolizes the re-strengthening influence of Christianity , the waning moon (welt) as a secular symbol of Islam symbolizes the dwindling influence of the Ottoman Empire . The buildings represent the Timisoara fortress in the midst of fertile farmland, with the castle as a symbol for the imperial fortifications and the military border to protect against the Ottoman Empire . The six towers of the fortress represent the six main settlement areas of the Danube Swabians:
- Southwestern Hungarian low mountain range
- Swabian Turkey
- Slavonia - Syrmia
- Batschka
- Banat
- Sathmar
Diplich used the German national colors black, red and gold and the Danube Swabian tribal colors white and green for the design . White stands as a symbol of the peaceful spirit of the Danube Swabians, green as the color of hope for the new territory that has developed into a granary .
