Heinrich Bollinger

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich "Heinz" Philipp Bollinger (born April 23, 1916 in Saarbrücken , † July 17, 1990 in Freiburg im Breisgau ) was a German resistance fighter and professor of psychology .

Life

Heinrich Bollinger grew up in Saarbrücken as the son of a smelter in Burbach . With his brother Wilhelm he was active in the Catholic youth organization New Germany . After graduating from elementary school , Heinz Bollinger attended the Saarbrücken reform high school. In 1937 he graduated from high school and then studied philosophy at the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg . He completed his dissertation on Max Scheler in 1942 and was supervised by Martin Honecker (1888–1941). During this time he tried to find like-minded people among the students for an opposition to the National Socialists. He and his brother met Willi Graf from the White Rose group and joined the group. Heinrich Bollinger did not take part in the distribution of the leaflets, however, as he considered the action to be premature. He was arrested by the Gestapo on March 5, 1943 . From Freiburg he was transferred to a Munich prison and interrogated there. A participation could not be proven to him. The charge before the People's Court , chaired by Roland Freisler, was therefore only for knowledge and failure to report the action and for listening to enemy broadcasters . He has been to seven years in prison convicted. He spent his imprisonment in Ludwigsburg prison , where he worked as a librarian. He was released on April 12, 1945 and was able to continue his studies after the German surrender.

From 1966 to 1981 he was professor of psychology at the Lörrach University of Education . He participated as a consultant in Michael Verhoeven's film Die Weisse Rose (1982) and was committed to the reversal of the Scholl siblings' guilty verdicts , which, however, did not take place until 1998 as part of the law for the abolition of Nazi judgments in criminal justice . Bollinger died in Freiburg in 1990.
