Heribert Sturm (born July 22, 1904 in Chodau ; † October 28, 1981 in Amberg ) was the city archivist and museum director in Eger ( Czechoslovakia ), archive director in Amberg and a founding member and board member of the Collegium Carolinum in Munich .

Life

Heribert Sturm graduated from the Realgymnasium in Kaaden with a high school diploma, studied history , German literature and art history at the Charles University in Prague and received his doctorate in philosophy in 1927 . From 1928 to 1934 he was the city archivist in Sankt Joachimsthal in the Ore Mountains and in 1934 he succeeded the archive director and museum director Karl Siegl in Eger in West Bohemia . Heribert Sturm was a member of the German Academy of Sciences in Prague from 1938 to 1945 . After the end of the Second World War - expelled from Eger in 1946 - in 1947 he was state archivist in Neuburg an der Donau and from 1953 to 1973 archive director and director of the Bavarian state archive in Amberg in the Upper Palatinate, founding and board member of the Collegium Carolinum eV in Munich, research center for the Bohemian countries and member of the historical commission for the Bohemian countries

Towards the end of the Second World War , on April 27, 1945, the Lord Mayor Emil Janka handed over the city ​​of Eger, which was under air raids, to troops of the 3rd American Army in order to protect it from further destruction. Eger and western Bohemia came under the administration of the American military government up to the line Karlsbad - Pilsen - Budweis until mid-November 1945. Since May 1945, Czech-speaking groups of people began a wild expropriation and expulsion of the house, land and company owners of the German-speaking population of the city of Eger. In this situation, the museum director Heribert Sturm tried with the help of American army members of the museum, arose from folklore and city history foundations, and the archive of the city of Eger with document holdings up to the year 1280 in the former Pachelbelhaus on the city’s market square, the later town house, before looting and bring destruction to safety. In July 1945, a Czechoslovakian commission took over the city administration in Eger and appointed the carpenter Jan Kubin (1900–2000) as administrator of the city museum and archive led by Heribert Sturm. There was a short-term collaboration to secure the stocks, which have largely been preserved. When Heribert Sturm was forced to leave Eger as a Sudeten German in 1946 as a result of the Beneš decrees and went to Bavaria as a displaced person, Jan Kubin took over the museum and archive of the city of Eger with a collective of museum workers and handed over the management to the art historian in 1954 Mira Mladějovská (1895-1969).
