Life

After completing his school career, Schade completed a medical degree at the universities of Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich , Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn and Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel . He had been a member of the Corps Franconia Munich since 1928 . In 1932, Schade was promoted to Dr. med. PhD . He then worked as a medical assistant in Munich and Königsberg i. Pr. Even before the seizure of power , in 1931 he had joined the National Socialist German Workers' Party and the Sturmabteilung . From the SA he later switched to the Schutzstaffel , in which he rose to SS-Sturmbannführer in 1944. From November 1, 1934 to July 1, 1935, he completed the first race hygiene course at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Anthropology, Human Heredity and Eugenics (KWI-A). Then Schade was Otmar von Verschuer's assistant and senior physician at the Institute for Hereditary Biology and Racial Hygiene at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main until 1939 . In this function, Schade also acted as an expert for the forced sterilization of so-called Rhineland bastards . Schade completed his habilitation in 1939 with a paper on the hereditary record of the population of the Hessian Schwalm and was then a lecturer in “Hereditary Biology and Racial Hygiene” at the University of Frankfurt / M. employed.

In the Second World War , Schade was drafted into the army (Wehrmacht) . In December 1942, Schade received a position as senior physician under von Verschuer at the KWI-A, which he was initially unable to take due to the war. He was stationed in Berlin by the beginning of 1944 at the latest and was therefore able to do research on his habilitation topic at the KWI-A as part of a research assignment. He also acted as an appraiser for the Reichsippenamt . Later, however, a frontline deployment followed and Schade was taken prisoner by Yugoslavia at the end of the war. After his release from prisoner-of-war, Schade worked as a freelance worker from 1950 onwards, preparing paternity reports, approved by the German Society for Anthropology. From 1952 he was employed as a lecturer at the University of Münster at von Verschuer and in 1954 he moved to the Westphalian Wilhelms University of Münster as an adjunct professor of human genetics . From 1965 to 1974 he headed the Institute for Human Genetics and Anthropology at the Medical Academy in Düsseldorf , which he was appointed full professor in 1966 . Schade was the author of numerous publications, including the 1974 work Völkerflut und Völkerschwund . He was also a member of the German Academy for Population Science. In the dispute over the renaming of the University of Düsseldorf to Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf , Schade was one of the opponents of the renaming. Schade was one of the signatories of the Heidelberg Manifesto in June 1981 .
