biography

Heinrich de Buhr was relieved of his post as deputy head of the employment office in Heide (Holstein) on March 24, 1933, "because the political past of the person concerned does not guarantee a job in the sense of the current national government". and on August 22, 1933, dismissed without notice under the racist law to restore the civil service .

As a result, he was unemployed until October 10, 1934 and lost all means of livelihood, so that his house at Stiftstraße 17 was foreclosed and sold to the city of Heide. At the time of the " seizure of power " by the National Socialists, he was SPD district chairman of Dithmarschen, city councilor and magistrate in Heide, and second chairman of the Heider Reichsbanner .

In 1934 he went to Hamburg, where he tried his hand at traveling on commission until 1937. From October 1937 until the end of the war he was an innkeeper in Hamburg. His restaurant was badly damaged in air raids. The SA and Gestapo repeatedly threatened him because of his political past. In 1943 he joined the NSDAP , because it had given him the “choice” between joining the party or Neuengamme concentration camp .

After the failed coup attempt on July 20, 1944 , he was detained for four days for interrogation and interrogation in the action grid .

After the end of the war, he took over the post of deputy head of the Heider employment office again and was its head from 1946 to 1950. In 1950 he left the service for health reasons.
