Act

In 1973 Hartmut Fröschle was the founding president of the German-Canadian Historical Association - Association for German-Canadian Historical Research in Toronto .

Fröschle is considered a Justinus Kerner researcher and sponsor of the Justinus Kerner Association and Weinsberg Women's Association and, above all, a Ludwig Uhland researcher. For many years he was involved in the Association for German Cultural Relations Abroad (VDA). He was (co-) editor of the German-Canadian Yearbook 1973-2005 with 18 volumes, for which he wrote numerous articles. In 1981/1982 he was co-editor of the journal Contributions to Swabian Literature and Spiritual History and from 1985 to 1992 editor of the journal, now called Suevica .

Fröschle was temporarily active in the Southern Africa Aid Committee founded by NPD functionary Peter Dehoust in Coburg in 1976 , which among other things dealt with the promotion of the German language and culture in Namibia . In Canada, too, he showed little distance from former National Socialists, even from top executives, as his editorial work shows.
