Hans Struth

Hans Wilhelm Struth (born September 27, 1893 in Frankfurt am Main , † November 9, 1972 in Cologne ) was a German publisher.

Life

Hans Struth, son of the Mainz city architect Valentin Struth, born in Frankfurt am Main, initially wanted to become a Catholic priest, but gave up that wish. He studied philosophy and law in Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland. During his studies in 1913 he became a member of the KDStV Hercynia Freiburg im Breisgau .

In 1925 he founded the press apostolate plant in Cologne, and later the Hans Struth KG publishing house in the Hansahaus in Cologne. In 1931 he founded the Feuerreiterverlag Hans Struth KG and became editor-in-chief of the Catholic Illustrierte Feuerreiter . In 1962 he sold the Feuerreiter to the Sebaldus publishing house in Nuremberg.

In 1946 Struth founded Fides Romana , a lay association of Catholic German men, and was its president. In 1964 the association became inactive.

Hans Struth was from Pope Pius XII. appointed papal chamberlain with sword and cloak (it. Camerieri d'Onore di Spada e Cappa). On December 8, 1962, he was awarded the knighthood of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem in Rome .

For many years, the Struth couple repeatedly supported the tasks of the arch-brotherhood to the painful Mother of God of the Germans and Flemings with notable donations. After the death of his wife Olga on December 2, 1974, both were buried in Rome at Campo Santo Teutonico in the Vatican (grave site ACST: GA-Struth-C III, 5). In 1993 the estate of Hans Struth was handed over to the Catholic University of Eichstätt ; Parts of the estate are in the historical archive of the Archdiocese of Cologne .

↑ Catholic media (Catholic press): The Feuerreiter , founded in 1925, was supposed to contribute “to the penetration of life and culture with Catholic values” with photos and photo reports from the church sector. The fire rider initially continued to appear after the end of the Second World War, but in 1967 it was merged with the body of the Catholic men's communities, Mann in Zeit , published by the bishops . This resulted in the bi-weekly illustrated Weltbild , which is now called the “Christian family magazine ”. [1]
