from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Helmut Schrätze (born June 18, 1922 in Zwickau ; † December 14, 2018 in Kottgeisering ) was a German mineralogist . He was a professor of mineralogy at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich and a publicist.

Life

At the age of 17, Helmut Schrätze became a telecommunications operator and took part in World War II from 1939 onwards . In May 1945 he was taken prisoner of war. After his return he studied geology and mineralogy at the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg and received his doctorate in 1951. From 1954 to 1961 he was an assistant at the mineralogical institute in Heidelberg and received the Venia legendi (teaching license) in 1958 . In 1964 he moved to the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich , where he was a conservator , then a scientific adviser, and an adjunct professor from 1967 and professor of mineralogy from 1970. In September 1987 he retired.

In 1950 he received the Clemens Winkler Medal.

As a mineralogist he is known as the author of a textbook with Karl-Ludwig Weiner and he dealt with equilibrium and thermodynamic properties of crystalline mixed phases and the physical-chemical principles of deposit formation.

Act

Schröck was, among other things, a member of the Bavarian state and federal board of the Witikobund and speaker or member of the Hetendorfer conference week and the "Society for European Urgemeinschaftskunde eV / Herman Wirth Society" founded in 1957 with the participation of Herman Wirth , later in the association "Ur -Europa eV "renamed. He has published several times in Germany in the past and present (DGG) of the right-wing extremist Grabert Verlag , in CODE , in Europe (Nationaleuropäisches Jugendwerk), the Junge Freiheit , Recht und Truth , Nation und Europa and in the series of the Hochschulgruppe der Nationalen (HdN) .

In addition, he is the author of several books such as the causes of war - war guilt of the Second World War , published in 2000 by Verlag für Holistic Research , a publisher of the right-wing extremist Ludendorff movement, or Das Deutsche Volksgesicht , again by Grabert. In 1995 and 1997 he was each with his own contributions in the two volumes published by the right-wing extremist Rolf-Josef Eibicht 50 years of expulsion. The genocide of the Germans. East Germany - Sudetenland. Return instead of renunciation and oppression and persecution of German patriots. Conviction dictatorship in Germany? represented together with Jörg Haider , Gerhard Frey and Franz Schönhuber .

In 1980 Schrätze wrote in a letter to the editor in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung : “ Peoples are (cybernetic and biological) living systems of a higher order with mutually different system properties that are passed on genetically. “And thus opened the debate for the Heidelberg Manifesto against the infiltration of the German people, which was published the following year and which critics regarded as racist . He is one of the 15 main initiators of this manifesto. His name is no longer represented by the signatories of the revised and weakened version, which was published on January 31, 1982. On April 21, 1990 he was guest of honor and speaker at the revisionist event Truth Makes Free in Munich's Löwenbräukeller together with the terrorist Manfred Roeder and the Holocaust deniers Otto Ernst Remer and David Irving .

At the appeal of the 100 published in an advertisement in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung on May 17, 1996 - Freedom of expression is in danger! Schröck acted as a contact person. When this advertisement, in which the criminal law provisions to avert denial of the Holocaust are being polemicized in a claused form, was reprinted in the Stuttgarter Zeitung on July 20, 1996, he was held responsible under press law.

In 1998 the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) initiated an investigation against the 65 signatories, including Schrätze, for incitement to hatred because of the call to all Germans to self-defense against foreign infiltration, but this was discontinued in 1999. This widespread inflammatory pamphlet was particularly characterized by intensified anti-Semitism . In it, “ all loyal Germans were called to self-defense against the genocide of the German people that was officially planned by the government and carried out with brutal methods ” and called upon to “ immediately exclude the legal right of strangers to asylum ”, “ all Germans from now on the unrestricted freedom of To grant sentiment, opinion and expression of opinion “and to stop the immigration of Eastern European Jews.

During the Wehrmacht exhibition , also in Munich in 1997, Schrätze asked Lord Mayor Christian Ude in a letter to “ distance himself from the hate and agitation ”. “ As a former soldier who did his duty from December 1, 1939 to May 8, 1945, and during this time never once witnessed or heard of war crimes that are now being accused of the German armed forces, I strongly protest against your falsifications of history . On the other hand, it would be appropriate to bring the war crimes of the other side to the public. If Hitler hadn't chosen the last possible date for the German preventive attack on the USSR on June 22, 1941, and if the German soldiers had done incredible things for the people and fatherland to the end, the other half of Europe would also have fallen victim to Bolshevism . On June 22, 1941, 3,700 German and 20,000 Russian tanks faced each other. Then you too would have had the opportunity to end up with a shot in the neck like in Katyn or in the Gulag . "

In 2013, Schrätze spoke out in the nationalist magazine “ Voice of the Reich” in an appeal entitled Germans don't let yourself be fooled against climate protection and for the construction of nuclear pebble-bed reactors .

In addition, Schrätze turned in several works to prehistory and early history in recent times and tried in books such as Germanic. Slavs. Prehistory and early history of the East Germanic area (Viöl 1996) and Indo-Germanic, Germanic, Slavic. Their roots in Central and Eastern Europe (Orion-Heimreiter-Verlag, Kiel 2003) prove " that ethnic constancy has prevailed in the German settlement area for 8000 years: the German people, who still inhabit the settlement area of ​​their ancestors, are the largest people in the Indo-European family of nations. the development of the Germans followed by the emergence of the Teutons in the Bronze age to the formation of the Germanic-German races in the series rush period. (See. refer to the article Germanic and ethnogenesis .) Based on preliminary work, among others, Walther Steller and Lothar Greil , the Slavs who settled in the eastern areas of today's Germany in the early and high Middle Ages (see Germania Slavica ) are reinterpreted as East Germans . Despite the repeatedly proven untenability of such theses and the unscientific working method, these publications reach an audience that far exceeds the right-wing extremist spectrum In the same The publications, which were again published by Grabert-Verlag in 2002, are aimed at e direction . The early days of Germany were completely different. Positioning of the prehistory of the Germans , in which Schrätze is represented with an article.

Schröck openly represents biologist - racist positions. “Language, culture, national character, folk soul, value hierarchy” are, in his view, genetically determined “system characteristics” of peoples; with the “mixing of peoples” there is “nothing better in the sense of evolution, but rather worse”. In addition, Schröck assumes genetically determined, measurable IQ differences between peoples. He massively denies the equality of people as the central normative basis of the constitution.
