Heinrich Kipper

Heinrich Kipper (born December 16, 1875 in Illischestie , Bukowina ; † March 10, 1959 in Hollabrunn , Lower Austria ) was a Bukowina-German teacher, playwright, writer, journalist and dialect poet.

Life

Heinrich Kipper headed the Bukowiner Bote and the Free Teachers' Newspaper (1901–1908). As a teacher, he was also politically active in the interests of his professional colleagues and entered the Czernowitz municipal council for the Bukovinian German Nationalists. In 1914 he was appointed a member of the German examination commission for elementary and community schools in Czernowitz. Raimund Friedrich Kaindl called him the "most important dialect poet of the Buchenland ". He wrote in a Carpathian-Swabian dialect that was strongly influenced by the Palatinate. Kipper was a staunch advocate of the war idea in World War I - like many intellectuals of the time - and was so badly wounded with the rank of first lieutenant as battalion commander in his native Bukovina on January 1, 1915 that his leg had to be amputated. In the same year he was appointed professor at the teacher training institute in Chernivtsi.

Relationship to National Socialism

Kipper's 1942 novel Germany, we come describes the life of the Germans in Bukowina and portrays National Socialism as the ideal regime. In 1948, the Karl Kühne publisher confirmed in a legally binding letter to Kipper that he wrote this novel under the title Heimat at Verlag was submitted and that Kipper had no influence on the choice of the final title. The same letter says that Kipper was married to a Jew and was not a National Socialist. Nevertheless, Kipper is counted among “the 'people of Germany' and national socialism professing native poets” and referred to as a “Nazi-friendly novel producer”.
