Life

Heinz Sting was born the son of a postal inspector. In 1906 his father was transferred to Nordhausen and the family moved to the up-and-coming railway and industrial location on the southern edge of the Harz Mountains . Sting attended grammar school, graduated from high school in 1923 and then studied law and economics at the universities in Jena , Leipzig and Halle . He passed the first state examination in law, then completed his legal clerkship and finally passed the second state examination. He then joined the Prussian judicial service as a court assessor .

Sting joined the National Socialists early on, had been a member of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP) since 1925 and became the party's local group leader in his hometown of Nordhausen in 1927 . In 1931 he was dismissed from the Prussian judicial service because of his political activities and from then on worked as a lawyer in Nordhausen. In 1932 he was elected to the Prussian Landtag , to which he belonged until the corporation was dissolved in October 1933. In the time of National Socialism , Sting initially made a rapid career after the " seizure of power " by the National Socialists. On March 25, 1933, he became the head of the city ​​council in Nordhausen and three days later he became a ministerial advisor and personal assistant in the Prussian Ministry of Justice . In addition, he was appointed by the district government as NS mayor of Nordhausen after the left-liberal mayor Curt Baller (1880-1966) was suspended in April 1933. When Sting took up the post of Lord Mayor on July 1, 1933, "the city [Nordhausen] was firmly in the hands of the National Socialists".

The local party headquarters of the NSDAP in Nordhausen had its seat in the former Kaiser Wilhelm club house on Baltzerstrasse , which was renamed in 1933 to "Adolf Hitler House". This is where the NSDAP district leadership and the offices of the Hitler Youth and the Nazi women's association and the German women's association were located. After arguments with the Gauleitung , in particular with Fritz Sauckel (NSDAP-Reichsstatthalter Thuringia) and Heinrich Keizer (NSDAP-Kreisleiter Südharz), Sting was excluded from the NSDAP in 1935; he lost all party offices and was deposed as mayor of Nordhausen.

In 1938, however, he was accepted back into the party after a request. In 1939 he became government director in Braunschweig . From 1939 to 1945 he took part in the Second World War as a soldier , and from around the end of 1943 he was a Nazi command officer .

After the end of the war in 1945, Sting was appointed director of the economic and social affairs department of the government in Hanover . He then worked as a ministerial official in Lower Saxony , most recently as senior government director. He also acted as federal chairman of the regional teams for the province of Saxony and Anhalt . As chairman of the Nordhäuser Heimatfreunde , he was the editor of Nordhäuser Nachrichten. Südharzer Heimatblätter .
