from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinz Werner Schwender (born April 10, 1909 in Wiesbaden-Biebrich ; † December 3, 1999 ) was a German lawyer. At the time of National Socialism he was district administrator in German-occupied Poland . In the district of Warsaw, he served as District Chief in organizing the Holocaust involved. In the Federal Republic of Germany he was Ministerialrat in the Ministry of Housing .

Life

Schwender studied law from 1927 to 1931 at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich and the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main . In 1928 he became a member of the Isaria Corps . He took the two state law examinations in 1931 and 1935 and received his doctorate in 1935. He became a member of the SS and joined the NSDAP on May 1, 1933 , between 1934 and 1938 he was NSDAP training director. From 1937 he worked as a government assessor at the Bad Freienwalde District Office, and from June 1, 1938 at the Prussian Building and Finance Directorate.

With the establishment of the Generalgouvernement after the beginning of the Second World War he became from September 20, 1939 district chief in the district of Łowicz in the district of Warsaw under the governor Ludwig Fischer .

In his circle, Schwender had already ghettoized the entire Jewish population in May 1940, thus creating a model for planning the Warsaw ghetto . The ghetto in Łowicz was completely cordoned off with fences and walls, a Jewish council was set up and a Jewish security service . "We managed to control the Jewish element very clearly," he reported to the inspecting Governor General Hans Frank in October 1940 . Schwender was motivated by strong anti-Semitism . From January 1941 the approx. 18,000 Jews of his group were again expelled, now to the Warsaw Ghetto, so that Schwender was able to determine in February 1941 that apart from a few forced laborers his group was practically " Jew-free ". The concentration of the Jewish population in a very small area and the formation of ghettos were a prerequisite for the “ final solution to the Jewish question ”.

Schwender was drafted into the Wehrmacht at the beginning of 1943 , his successor in Łowicz was Josef Krämer . After the end of the war he was interned by the Soviets and the British . During the denazification , he was acquitted on October 9, 1947 by the ruling chamber . Since 1950 he was an employee in the Bonn housing ministry , initially under Eberhard Wildermuth , and rose there to the ministerial council. He published in this field.
