Life

Heinrich Guter came from a strictly Catholic milieu. He attended the humanistic grammar school in Ulm. Soon he and his classmates Franz J. Müller , Heinz Brenner , Walter Hetzel and Hans Hirzel belonged to the regular circle of friends who were skeptical of National Socialism . Through Hirzel, Guter came into contact with Sophie Scholl and the White Rose resistance group. He was privy to the distribution of leaflets without, however, participating himself.

Guter was sentenced in the so-called “Second White Rose Trial” on April 19, 1943 by the People's Court under Roland Freisler to 18 months in prison because he knew about the activities of the resistance group but had not reported them.

Heinrich Guter studied architecture and became an architect in Munich . In 1961 he married the actress Erika Wackernagel (1925–1995).

In 1987 he co-founded the White Rose Foundation , which was founded by survivors.
