from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Helmut Hass (born November 17, 1919 in Kiel ) is a former German politician ( NPD ).

Life

Hass attended the state secondary school in Kiel -Wellingdorf since 1930 . In 1936 he passed the secondary school leaving certificate and began an apprenticeship as a materials tester (phys. Laboratory assistant) at the Deutsche Werken in Kiel. He passed his assistant examination in the spring of 1939. He then volunteered for the Reich Labor Service and was used to reclaim new land in Camp 1/77 Tinnum on Sylt. From October 1939 he was a volunteer with the Waffen SS and completed his military service until May 1945. He was in the front line in a reconnaissance department and was wounded several times during the war. Hass has also received several awards. After the end of the Second World War , he was taken prisoner. After his dismissal, he began various activities at Deutsche Erdöl AG in Heide (Holstein). In 1949 he was appointed trustee by the Dortmund Regional Court for a freight forwarding company . In February 1950 he began his work in the iron and steel industry in the Dortmund Hörder-Hüttenunion . In 1954 he moved to Salzgitter because he got a job as a master in the rolling mill . First he was appointed head foreman in 1959, and in 1965 he worked as an operations assistant in the semi-finished product adjustment department of the iron and steel works.

politics

In 1937, Hass became a member of the NSDAP .

Hass became a member of the NPD in January 1965. He ran for the NPD in the state elections in Lower Saxony on June 4, 1967 . The NPD received 7.0% of the vote and 10 of the 149 MPs; Helmut Hass moved to the 6th Lower Saxony state parliament . He was initially a member of the NPD parliamentary group, left it on January 16, 1970 because of dissatisfaction with Adolf von Thadden and was a guest in the CDU parliamentary group from February 17th. Prime Minister Georg Diederichs (SPD) took this as an opportunity to terminate the grand coalition, which resulted in an early state election on June 14, 1970 . The NPD received 3.2% of the vote and failed to pass the five percent hurdle; In 1974 she received 0.64% and in 1978 0.43% of the vote.

Hass was a city councilor in Salzgitter, initially as an NPD member. The CDU district association in Salzgitter had refused to recognize Hass's CDU membership , contrary to a recommendation by state chairman Wilfried Hasselmann and an admission decision by the state executive committee. Nevertheless, Hass eventually became a member of the CDU parliamentary group in Salzgitter's city council.

Helmut Hass set a precedent for the scope of the free mandate of MPs. Before the state elections in 1967, the NPD had all candidates sign a bill for DM 30,000 (in today's purchasing power € 57,918). This “security change” should be due if the MP leaves the parliamentary group without resigning from his seat. After hatred left the NPD parliamentary group, the NPD initiated enforcement ; the regional court of Braunschweig rejected this as immoral .
