from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hermann Bauer (born January 12, 1884 in Deutenheim near Scheinfeld , † April 13, 1960 in Büderich ) was a German educator and politician.

Life

Hermann Bauer, Protestant, attended the Progymnasium in Windsbach after elementary school and graduated from the St. Anna High School in Augsburg . He studied philology and economics at the universities in Munich and Strasbourg. After passing the state examination (teaching qualification exam), he was assigned to the Maximiliansgymnasium in Munich as a certified teaching candidate from January 8, 1913 until the end of the school year .

At the beginning of the war, in 1914, he joined the 10th Bavarian Infantry Regiment as a reserve lieutenant and was awarded the Iron Cross, 2nd class.

Teaching

After the end of the war, Bauer taught at the Progymnasium in Pasing for a short time , in the school year 1918/19 (from April 5, 1919) as a subject teacher for history and geography at the Wilhelmsgymnasium in Munich and from the school year 1919/20 here as a class leader in the lower school. As a private teacher, on behalf of Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria, his son prepared the Bavarian Hereditary Prince Albrecht for his Abitur examination at the Wilhelmsgymnasium at Easter 1924. With effect from January 1, 1934, he was transferred to the Maximiliansgymnasium as a professor.

Political career

First, Bauer joined the Thule Society , which had emerged from the Volkish Germanic Order in 1917 under the chairmanship of Rudolf von Sebottendorf . In 1919 he was co-founder and chairman of the Association of Patriotic Associations in Bavaria ' ., In 1922 he was elected its president. Gustav von Kahr became the honorary president of this umbrella organization for country teams, rifle clubs and right-wing organizations . As a shop steward for the Kahr government, he visited Hitler in custody. Bauer was also a member of the German People's Party of the Palatinate (DVPdP), 1924–1928 of the German National People's Party (DNVP) and the National Liberal State Party (NL).

In 1933, Bauer joined the German National Front (DNF). For the DNVP he was a member of the Bavarian State Parliament from 1924 to 1933 . Bauer later claimed that Adolf Hitler had offered him the office of Bavarian Prime Minister in 1933, but that he had refused this offer for personal reasons, as he had just married. In 1928, in a speech to the state parliament, he warned of the impending "invasion of non-Aryan art". He was a member of numerous committees and, from 1928 to 1933, was the third secretary of the presidium.

After the National Socialists came to power, he moved to Hachenhausen im Harz, today a district of Bad Gandersheim , to the Hachenhausen manor, which his second wife Katharina Funke, widowed Jenssen, had inherited from her father Ludwig Jenssen in 1931. Here he worked as a farmer on the associated areas.

On July 17, 1944 - for unknown reasons - he was arrested, taken to Prinz-Albrecht-Strasse in Berlin and later to the Lehrter Strasse cell prison . Thanks to his previous acquaintance with Adolf Hitler, he was released after three months.

After the end of the war in 1945 he became district administrator in the Gandersheim district in southern Lower Saxony. In 1950 he joined the German Party and returned to Bavaria in 1951. In 1951 Gut Hachenhausen, including the associated agricultural land, was given a right of first refusal to the Braunschweigische Siedlungsgesellschaft. On the initiative of Heinrich Hellwege , Bauer was elected Bavarian state chairman of the DP in 1953.
