Heinz Schauwecker

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinz Schauwecker (born October 11, 1894 in Regensburg , † June 4, 1977 in Berching ) was a German doctor, writer and local poet.

Life

Schauwecker belonged to the Wandervogel movement when he was at school. In 1914 he volunteered for World War I , where he was used as a medic. In the winter semester of 1916/17 he joined the AMV Fridericiana Erlangen . After the end of the war he joined the Freikorps Epp of the later NSDAP politician Franz Ritter von Epp . There he worked as a brigade doctor. After studying medicine in Erlangen and passing the state examination in 1920, he worked as a general practitioner, first in Nuremberg, and from 1938 in Berching .

Through his meeting with Johann Baptist Laßleben (1864–1928), the founder of the magazine Die Oberpfalz (1907ff.), Heinz Schauwecker came into contact with the Upper Palatinate homeland movement . Schauwecker is considered to be one of the founders of the so-called "North Gate Movement". The “Upper Palatinate-Egerland Working Group of Home Care Associations in the Nordgau”, which he helped initiate, organized a “Home Day” in Cham in 1930 . This resulted in the annual “ Nordgautage ” (1930–1935). In 1935, the district leader of the NSDAP took over the chairmanship of the "working group", the previous executive committee had to resign.

In November 1938, Heinz Schauwecker published a rhymed thank you in the journal Die Oberpfalz , which he edited and has since been edited by Michael Laßleben , in which the simple popular piety of people “in the forest” is presented as the basis for loyalty to Adolf Hitler : “Wherever in the forest the young and old / to thank the Lord fold their hands / out of every prayer a request is made - / they don't clothe them in resounding words / but their hearts stammer with hot urge: / God bless the Führer all his life! "

In the local press, Schauwecker was later attested to a personal commitment to prisoners of war during the Second World War and to the rescue of 20 mentally handicapped people from access by the SS.

In 1951, Heinz Schauwecker contributed to the resurgence of the “Nordgautage”, which still takes place annually today. Schauwecker acted as its honorary president. In 1969 he became the first honorary member of the newly founded Oberpfälzer Kulturbund.

Also in 1969 Schauwecker was one of the co-founders of the Federal Association of German Writers and Doctors , which awards an award named after him, the “Schauwecker Medal” (with the motto: “Power of the word - power of medicine”). At times, Schauwecker was vice-president of the world association of doctors and writers UMEM (Union Mondiale des Écrivains Médécins).

Creation and reception

Alongside Georg Britting and Gottfried Kölwel , Heinz Schauwecker was considered a popular writer in Upper Palatinate in the 20th century. His works can be counted as homeland literature, partly as trivial literature. He gained regional fame primarily through his “Heimatfestspiele”, small dramas on local history topics. Many of his publications from the 1920s onwards have ethnic content such as the theater play Deutsche Vision (performed around March 30, 1924 for the “German Day” in Neustadt an der Aisch , where Gustav Sondermann also recited poems from the fatherland). Texts such as Das neue Teufelsauten (1923) are “peppered with nationalistic, anti-democratic and anti-Semitic phrases.” The Oberpfälzer Kulturbund sums up today: “His work before 1945 must be viewed as critical, as it is strongly permeated by Nazi ideology; after the war, Schauwecker was only active as a doctor and local writer with apparently uncritical stories and novels, fairy tales and legends. "

Schauwecker's estate is kept in the Regensburg State Library .
