Hans Holfelder (youth functionary)
Hans Holfelder (* 1900 in Vienna ; † January 20, 1929 ) was an Austrian National Socialist and leader of the völkisch , agrarian-romantic Artamanen movement.
Holfelder was a member of the right-wing extremist Patriotic Movement in Austria . He went to Germany because he was threatened with prosecution in Austria after a shooting with a fatality. He taught for the German Farmers College as a lecturer in 1924 at the Limbach manor in Saxony. At the same time, as an Artam leader, he built two new Artamships in the same year. In 1925 he became a member of the NSDAP (local group Halle-Merseburg). In 1927 he became Federal Chancellor of the Artamanen. Together with Friedrich Schmidt he is said to have recruited Heinrich Himmler for the Artamans. In a motorcycle accident on November 11, 1928, he was so seriously injured that he died on January 30, 1929.
Holfelder was honored by Himmler (taking over the grave maintenance with SS honor guard) and Richard Walther Darré with a foreword in the book New Nobility from Blood and Soil (Berlin 1930).
His younger brother was Albert Holfelder .
