Hans Raupach

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Raupach (born April 10, 1903 in Prague , † January 12, 1997 in Söcking ) was a German lawyer , sociologist , economic historian and Eastern European researcher .

His father Gustav Raupach (1875–1956), who came from Alt-Reichenau near Schweidnitz , moved to Prague at a young age, where he worked as a healing assistant. There he married Isa Stefan (1882–1939), a daughter of Wenzel Stefan.

In his place of birth, Prague, Hans Raupach attended the German state high school. After the establishment of Czechoslovakia , the family returned to Silesia in 1919 , where they settled in Bad Warmbrunn in the foothills of the Giant Mountains . Even as a schoolboy, Raupach had joined the Wandervogel and later the Bündian youth movement . In 1923 he passed the Abitur in Hirschberg . He then studied political science and law at the Universities of Breslau and Berlin . In 1926 he returned to Breslau , where a year later he worked with the sociologist Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy with the dissertation "The matrimonial property law of Kniha Tovačovská " (= Tobischau legal book ) to become a Dr. iur. received his doctorate . In 1928 he passed the first state examination. In addition to his legal clerkship , he worked from 1928 to 1930 as a consultant in the legal department of the Eastern European Institute in Wroclaw. He then headed the Boberhaus border school home in Löwenberg , founded by the Silesian Young Team , but was pushed out of the line in 1932. In the same year he received a Lincoln grant with which he was supposed to coordinate the activities of independent organizations in Silesia. On March 8, 1933, he was one of the five members of the German Freischar who, for tactical reasons, publicly declared their willingness to join the NSDAP . They were of the opinion that this would save the Boberhaus, which was already renowned at the time, from being attacked by the National Socialists . The party did not join because the Silesian party offices had an entry ban. On January 1, 1934, Raupach received the post of assistant at the Notgemeinschaft der Deutschen Wissenschaft in Berlin. There he was given the management of the “Center for Labor Service in People's Camps”, which was set up as the central coordination point for the Bundischen and Freikorps labor service associations. From the winter semester of 1934/35 onwards, the University of Halle gave him a teaching position for folk theory of border and foreign Germanism and practical foreign studies . On November 21, 1937, he applied for membership in the NSDAP and was admitted retrospectively to May 1, 1937. In the same year he completed his habilitation in Halle for the subject of social and economic history with the thesis “The Czech Early Nationalism. A contribution to the history of society and ideas in the Vormärz ”. The publication of a history of the Czechs and Slovaks written at that time was not approved by the Reich Chamber of Literature. In 1939 he was one of the participants in the XIV International Sociology Congress in Bucharest.

As early as 1938 Raupach was drafted into the Wehrmacht and assigned to the office of "Abroad and Defense", which was headed by Wilhelm Canaris . First, he was appointed as an officer cadet in the Brandenburg Division trained and in the 6th Army used to defectors to advertise. In addition, he was used because of his language skills for interrogations of prisoners and defectors. For his services in a special formation in the Russian campaign , he received the Iron Cross 2nd class . In April 1944, the University of Halle appointed him extraordinary professor in absentia. In 1945 he was taken prisoner by the Americans. A month later he was taken to England, where he was interrogated for three months.

Although he was released in 1946, he was unable to continue his academic career. That is why he first wrote a book on "The true portrait of Johann Sebastian Bach". It was not until 1949 that he was given a substitute at the economics chair at the Technical University of Braunschweig . In 1951 he was appointed full professor of economics at the University of Work, Politics and Economics in Wilhelmshaven - Rustersiel , of which he was rector in 1958/59. In 1956 he became a member of the Braunschweig Scientific Society .

From 1962 to 1970 Raupach taught as a full professor for economics and society in Eastern Europe at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich, and from 1963 to 1975 he was the director of the Eastern European Institute in Munich . In 1968 he was elected as a full member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences , of which he was president from 1970 to 1976. In 1971 he was accepted into the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts and in 1973 he received the Bavarian Order of Merit . In 1986 he was honored with the Bavarian Maximilian Order for Science and Art .
