In 1933 he became the local group leader of the " Red Aid ".

After the National Socialists came to power , he became involved illegally for the KPD. Hauschulz was also arrested in connection with the distribution of illegal publications ( tribune , Junge Garde , Roter Pfeffer ) in Burg and Magdeburg. He came into custody initially to Magdeburg, then to Berlin . Pretrial detention lasted from August 8, 1934 to July 6, 1935. Hauschulz was sentenced to two years in prison for high treason .

At least around 1950 he lived at Eggersdorfer Straße 20 in Fermersleben .

Criticism of Hauschulz

Hauschulz is accused today of having been the ideological guard of the SED in Magdeburg. As head of the PKK, it was his responsibility to secure, investigate and monitor the party-compliant behavior of party members. During this time, ideological “cleansing” actions took place in the SED, which were aimed particularly at people with a social democratic conviction. Several people, including Erich Koß and Rudolf Eberhard, were arrested during Hauschulz's term of office . Koß and Eberhard were each sentenced to five years' imprisonment and deprivation of property for sabotage . The mayor of Magdeburg at the time, Walter Kaßner , is also said to have contributed to the arrests .

Honor

In the city of Magdeburg , a street ( Hans-Hauschulz-Strasse ) was named after Hauschulz during the GDR era . On January 9, 2003, however, the name was changed.
