Heinrich Sohnrey

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heinrich Sohnrey

Heinrich Sohnrey (born June 19, 1859 in Jühnde ; † January 26, 1948 in Neuhaus im Solling ) was a teacher , folk writer and publicist . Many of his literary works are committed to the ideology of National Socialism .

Life

Heinrich Sohnrey was born out of wedlock to Baron Oskar Grote and Rosine Luise Sohnrey. After school, supported by his paternal grandmother, he went to Hanover in 1873 and trained as a teacher. He started his first job in 1879 in Nienhagen auf der Weper , a district that is now part of Moringen . Here he began to be interested in folklore and local history. He remained connected to the region all his life, so that he is known as the Solling poet to this day . Sohnrey married his former student Luise Schoppe here.

From 1885 he briefly studied linguistics , literature , history and botany in Göttingen ; He was also enrolled in Berlin for two semesters.

From 1886 to 1889 he was a teacher in Möllensen in the Hildesheim forest. In 1889 he became an editor in Northeim , later in Hildesheim , where he founded the Hildesheimer Sonntagsbote , in 1890 in Freiburg im Breisgau and finally in Berlin , where he was relocated with his wife, five children and mother in 1894. In 1901 he was instrumental in building up the Wandervogel movement; At times he also took over the chairmanship of Der Wandervogel - registered association in Steglitz.

In 1904 he founded the Deutsche Landbuchhandlung publishing house in Berlin , where his books and writings were published from now on. His folk writings are part of Heimatkunst and represent the ideology of the Völkisch movement and the tendencies of the German nationalism that determined the Wilhelmine era . Sohnrey later supported the Nazis' blood-and-soil ideology ; Many of his novels and stories are also based on central aspects of Nazi ideology. The journals founded by Sohnrey (for example Die Dorfkirche , Archive for Inner Colonization [1909–1933, New Bauerntum from 1934 ]) received strong support from the Reichsnährstand during the Nazi era from 1933 ; The Reich Ministry for Food and Agriculture and the Reich Office for Agricultural Policy also support his efforts to strengthen rural areas and peasant structures.

In October 1933 he was one of 88 writers who signed the pledge of loyal allegiance to Adolf Hitler . Although he was not a member of the NSDAP , Sohnrey was one of the declared admirers of Hitler and the politics of the NSDAP, and the cultural service of the NS-Kulturgemeinde Berlin even read: "Heinrich Sohnrey was the only leading cultural bearer before January 30 [ 1933], whom the [National Socialist] movement was able to honor without reservation. " The UFA reported in detail about the big ceremony on the occasion of Sohnrey's 75th birthday in Jühnde in 1934 with a cinema contribution to the weekly newsreel . In 1939 Adolf Hitler awarded him the " Eagle Shield of the German Reich ".

Sohnrey lived in Berlin until 1943. After one of his two houses in Lichterfelde was hit by a bomb in March of that year, he and his family fled to Neuhaus ; In August 1943 a bomb hit destroyed his publishing house in Berlin-Steglitz .

Heinrich Sohnrey died in 1948 in his home region, in Neuhaus im Solling, at the age of 88.

Relationship to National Socialism

Until 1945

Even before 1933, Sohnrey's literary texts were committed to the ideology of National Socialism . In his closing speech at the Nuremberg Party Congress of the NSDAP in 1933, Adolf Hitler gave a lecture on the content of the 1932 Sohnrey novel Wulf Alke in his explanation of the National Socialist concept of art with the words:

"Because what is wonderful [sic] when an 11-year-old boy starts to draw and carve in his farming village and cannot get rid of his passion, which promises so little practical value, and finally gives immortal works to the nation as a great master."

- Adolf Hitler : Speech of the Nazi Party 1933

Shortly afterwards, the Deutsche Landbuchhandlung publishing house , owned by Sohnrey, advertised this novel in the magazine Neues Bauerntum , in which Wulf Alke was described as "the prediction of the Führer Adolf Hitler". This novel also propagates the Führer principle as it was based on Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf . One of the protagonists, a shepherd, describes pars pro toto for the rural population the desire for a “sharp dog” that is able to lead “the whole German people” against its “external enemies”:

“Why can't the whole German people be one mind and one soul, one shepherd and one flock? Yes, of course, you would have to send someone around the German country who, like my sultan [the speaker's sharp shepherd dog], pulls the herd together, barks and holds it together. Because that's no different: you can't bring a rebellious herd together with long-suffering and sweet words, but only with a sharp dog, so to speak. Oh, people, when will the sharp dog come to the German people? Well, well, it's a long way from the core to the tree; But the time will be ripe for sure, you will see that all of Germany will be of one mind and have a heartbeat and will see a single, a few people herd within its borders. And then his irrepressible inner strength and raucousness will no longer be directed against himself, but only against his external enemies, who do not want to grant him his strength, unity and tranquility [...] "

- Heinrich Sohnrey : Wulf Alke , Roman, 1933

In footsteps by the sea. A borderland novel (first printed in 1928) is about. a. about the “racial decline” of the Germans, which was allegedly caused by “Polish agents”, which produced a “mentally badly retarded” tribe. It is said of the inhabitants of the fictional Baltic Sea island on which Sohnrey's novel is set:

"Originally of purely German blood and evangelical faith, these people [...] have completely fallen out of Germany through strong ecclesiastical influences, perishable mixtures of blood, as recently through the nationalistic activities of the Polish agents."

The novel leaves no doubt that the racial decline of the “borderland Germans” controlled by “Polish agents” must come to an end: “German is German, and what is German must remain German; what was German must become it again ”. The "nationalist drifts of the Poles" have divided the islanders:

“[Many of them are] spurred on and on by Warsaw or Krakow and have always stirred up poison and gall […] on Germanism in general, by which they believed their original folk existence was raped. In any case they wanted to remain a different nation in the German nation, as such they certainly wanted to beat the German one again; they were only waiting for the great power and violence that was to break in from the east. In short, the Easter jars must be seen as a real weed that the devil would have sown in the German wheat. "

Jews and Poles are hostile to German and Christianity : “'Listen, people, he mocks our faith!' exclaimed the 'chicory Jew'. 'Into the sea with the heretic!' Shouted Jacosch Raza ”.

The novel also contains clear features of anti-Semitism , which, for example, characterize the story How the Dreieichen People came to their court from 1899 (later printed under the title Die Dreieichen Menschen) and the autobiography Between Dorn und Korn , in which Sohnrey characterize the achievements of NS -Staates celebrated: "And as powerful as Hitler's speeches are also the deeds with which the greatest and, we believe, most lasting popular upheaval came to light that was ever experienced in a cultural country in the world." In the foreword of his first 1927 as The story of Black-brown girls , edited in 1938 and now printed as The Foreign Blood , wrote Sohnrey: "With youthful hopes I send you [this story] into the new world of the Third Reich, in whose circles of thought it was from the beginning." This novel fits in seamlessly - three years after the passing of the Nuremberg Race Laws with all their appalling consequences s into the race politics of the NSDAP and thematized u. a. the “protection of German blood” or racial disgrace as well as the consequences of extra-marital sex between “ gypsies ” and Aryan women (in whose common families there are “more children than piglets”). There is a pastor that Sohnrey has said about descendants of mixed marriages :

"[...] a mixture of German blood with the blood of another, a lesser race, as one has to say after all experiences, [is] necessarily a [sic] evil. [...] The German blood must remain pure. In spite of all the Christian tolerance that we have to practice according to God's commandment, we have to say harshly and coarse with regard to the consequences of the blood mix: 'Away with harm!' "

The fifth of the Ten Commandments “You shall not kill!” Is thus liquidated; the Nazi race theory and the extermination policy of “minor races” is legitimized by a clergyman.

Appreciation by Adolf Hitler on the occasion of the award of the eagle shield of the German Reich (1939)

In the same text, the alleged hatred of foreign countries for Germany is discussed across the board, which the National Socialists used as a pretext for the outbreak of war: “Germany was lost and the hostile world without any reason, only animated by a thirst for hatred and revenge against the devastated fatherland . "Elsewhere it says:

“The poisonous hatred of our many and powerful enemies would have barred all doors in the world against us Germans. For better or worse, we had to stay in the country, start a new life in the loyal association with the German brothers and try to create a new German power so that our enemies and haters would finally stop trampling on our heads. "

Heinrich Sohnrey later welcomed the Wehrmacht's war successes :

“The German sword made the eastern dream free and gave it back to the motherland. After the end of the war, peace work will penetrate him and German life will develop. Genuine German nationality is supposed to grow up again here and a sex to take root, hard-working and strong-willed, as is the German way, a sex that also takes on the major tasks of population policy: Raising a rich, clod-loyal offspring, who always form a living protective wall against the Far East . "

In Sohnrey's opinion, the land of Eastern Europe was the legitimate property of the people who had conquered it militarily and made the “path [...] free to their own soil”: “Of course, all the settlement work will only be able to be done after the war has been victoriously ended. Because it must first and foremost be open to soldiers from the front who won the land. ”In the same text it says:“ It [is] no coincidence that National Socialist Germany founded its eternal existence on the blood and strength of the peasantry. ”

Also in 1943, Sohnrey celebrated the achievements of National Socialist family policy in Aus Groß-Berlin and small villages :

“In all of this, the happiness of marriage has never been shaken. She gave birth to four healthy children, three sons and a daughter, one of the sons in Holzminden highly regarded as a city councilor, government councilor and head of the tax office, as he and his mother were among the first supporters of the Führer and bearer of the NSDAP's gold medal has been."

Sohnrey's work Landflucht ist Volkstod , published in 1939 . A word to the teachers about the school leaving of the rural youth was under the motto:

The great command stands over us:
You must do your duty in the service of your people.
The Führer on Thanksgiving Day 1936.

The story The Knechtemarkt was part of the work schedule for German lessons at the Napola , the elite schools for the training of the next generation of National Socialist leaders .

As the "oldest German champion" for the goals of the Gauheimatwerk Süd-Hannover-Braunschweig eV, founded in 1941 , an "association of people's comrades called for active National Socialist work", Sohnrey was made an honorary member by Gauleiter Hartmann Lauterbacher when it was founded in 1941 ; In 1942, the "Heinrich Sohnrey Competition" was announced - also by Lauterbacher.

After the end of the war

After the end of the war, Sohnrey's works became guideposts for the country (1939), rural exodus is the death of the people. A word to the teachers on the school leaving of the rural youth (1939) and from Greater Berlin and small villages (1943) as well as the journals Neues Bauerntum and Die Junge Dorfgemeinschaft in the Soviet occupation zone , which he distributed and published, were placed on the list of literature to be segregated.

On October 8, 1945, Sohnrey wrote a letter to the Allied Control Council stating:

"I, Professor Dr. phil. hc, Dr. rer. pole. hc Heinrich Sohnrey, I was never a member of the National Socialist Party because I was always of the conviction, which I also expressed often enough, that Hitler was making a big mistake in founding the party because he was thereby a wedge in the unity of the German people drove, and in his address to the German people always addressed them as party members and German national comrades. On the other hand, I have always had the unity of the German people, especially our rural population, in mind, for which I have been working for over half a century in close agreement with the Prussian and German Ministry of Agriculture (Ministry of Food) in my entire life as a writer, mainly for the welfare of the rural population , primarily the workers and peasants. "

In December 1945 he wrote that he wanted to start the rebuilding of his publishing house with a brochure entitled “Adolf Hitler and the great misfortune of the German people”: “Here, Hitler and a certain section of the German people should be thoroughly settled and the direction of my publishing house for all time. "

reception

Commemoration and relativization

The texts of the Solling poet Heinrich Sohnrey, which were committed to National Socialism, were forgotten after 1945; Due to his services to rural welfare and his folklore work, which he acquired in the years before 1933, the memory of him has been and is cherished to this day; shortly after his death, the Heinrich-Sohnrey-Gesellschaft was founded in his birthplace Jühnde .

The chairman of the Esebecker Heimatverein, Gerd Busse, comes in his Sohnrey biography Between Hut and Castle , which was published on behalf of the Heinrich Sohnrey Society and which was published in 2009 by the Holzmindener Kleinverlag Jörg Mitzkat ("Books for the Weserbergland Region") , to the result:

“[With some] utterances that appeared in his writings or in the forewords of new editions, one can argue about whether it was meant as it was written or whether it was not just“ concessions ”to the National Socialist regime in order to get something out for himself, his publishing house and his life's work of social reform that he might otherwise have been denied.
Assessing its role in National Socialism is difficult. That is why the range of assessments in literature ranges from pioneering to the unsuspecting abuse of his ideas by the National Socialists. The famous, popular, old, friendly and popular man, who could be presented to the public and with whom one could "score" in rural and middle-class circles, on the one hand and the pitiable, fateful, misunderstood, disappointed man on the other , old man who had nothing left but his own life: These are two sides of a picture that was drawn about Heinrich Sohnrey's role in the "Third Reich" in literature after 1945. "

Newer literary encyclopedias, on the other hand - if they even include Sohnrey - assume an increasing ideologization of his writings during the Nazi era.

Review today

Based on an expertise by the Göttingen Germanist Frank Möbus on Sohnrey's National Socialist texts, the school committee of the Göttingen district council unanimously decided on November 24, 2011 to rename the Heinrich-Sohnrey-Realschule in Hann. To pick up mouths. Since December 1, 2011, it was temporarily called Realschule II ; it is now called the Three Rivers Realschule .
The Heinrich-Sohnrey School in Boffzen was renamed Primary School at Sollingtor .
Heinrich-Sohnrey-Strasse in Göttingen was renamed, the revocation of the honorary citizenship of the University of Göttingen was initially checked. However, the university came to the conclusion that it was not necessary to withdraw the award, since the honor had expired with Sohnrey's death. In Hanover , the Sohnreystraße was renamed Lola-Fischel-Straße on September 29, 2016 and in Letter (Seelze) a discussion about a possible renaming of the streets or paths named after Sohnrey has started; In Rinteln , the local council decided in April 2012 to rename Heinrich-Sohnrey-Weg, in Höxter a decision has already been made in favor of a new name for Sohnreystraße. The city council of Hann. At its meeting on December 15, 2011, Münden unanimously decided to give the Sohnreystraße a new name with the participation of the citizens; since April 2012 it has been called Quantzstrasse. In Hattorf am Harz it was decided to rename Heinrich-Sohnrey-Strasse; the Sohnrey-Weg in Springe is also given a new name.
The Heinrich-Sohnrey-Gesellschaft, on the other hand, continues to take the position “that Sohnrey's achievements are still in place today and he can serve as a role model in many areas, but also as a reminder of how quickly well-intentioned things can also support the wrong things can! ”On February 22nd, 2012 the Heinrich-Sohnrey-Gesellschaft published a statement on the expertise of Frank Möbus“ In the matter of Heinrich Sohnrey ”on the Internet.

The Göttingen historian Dr. At the end of August 2013, Dirk Schumann made the following recommendation to the management of the University of Göttingen in a report on Sohnrey: The university should distance itself from its honorary university citizen, Sohnrey, who was appointed in 1934. He is not a declared National Socialist, but his work and writings have been marked for decades by clearly xenophobic and racist tendencies. In addition, there are no particular merits of Sohnrey's for the university. Schumann cited as an example of racist tendencies passages in Sohnrey's writings that repeatedly dealt with the purity of German blood, for example in the book “The story of the black and brown girl”, which was renamed “The foreign blood” in 1938.

In 2014, the city of Hanover appointed an advisory board made up of experts to check whether people who gave their names to streets “had active participation in the Nazi regime or serious personal actions against humanity”. He suggested the renaming of the street named after Sohnrey. Even before 1933 he had conveyed ethnic, anti-Semitic, anti-Slavic and anti-Gypsy ideas. In the high editions of his books, he had spread “xenophobic and racist ideas”.
