Life

Hans Neumann grew up in a parental home that lived in a Catholic diaspora community in Aumund , which at that time still belonged to the Blumenthal district. He trained as a carpenter at the large shipyard in Bremer Vulkan , where he joined the German Woodworkers Association and in 1930 the KJVD and the KPD . In February 1933, shortly after the start of National Socialism , Hans Neumann took over the illegal leadership of the KPD in the district town of Blumenthal. However, he was arrested by the National Socialists a short time later and deported to the Esterwegen concentration camp until 1934 . After his release he worked again at the Vulkan shipyard in Vegesack , where he continued his resistance work together with Bernhard Göhner.

At the beginning of the Second World War , he and Leo Drabent organized a resistance network for the Bremen shipyards in conjunction with the Bästlein-Jacob-Abshagen group in Hamburg . On March 29, 1943, he was arrested by the Gestapo along with Leo Drabent and nine other resistance fighters . On October 13, 1944, he was sentenced to death by the People's Court for trying to "undermine the resistance of the German people through communist propaganda". Hans Neumann and Leo Drabent were beheaded with the guillotine in the Brandenburg prison.
