Live and act

Teaching position

Busse was the son of a master carpenter and the fourth of nine children. His birthplace is the house "Zum alten Löwen" on Oberlindenplatz in Freiburg. He became a primary school teacher. After attending the teachers' seminar, he took up teaching positions in Obersäckingen, Unterbaldingen, Überlingen and Blasiwald, most recently at the Friedrichsgymnasium in Freiburg, where he received the title of high school professor on November 1, 1930 . After his transfer to Freiburg, he studied German, philosophy and art history at the university there.

Editor

When the managing director and editor of the Badische Heimat association, Max Wingenroth, died in 1922 , Busse was elected his successor. The writings of the "Badische Heimat" became very popular under his leadership. Because of the double workload in the school service and as managing director of the Badische Heimat, Busse was given leave of absence from 1924 to 1944 as main teacher by the Ministry of Culture. Busse was editor of the state association from 1922 to 1942. With the 29th year, 1942, the publication of "Mein Heimatland" (today "Badische Heimat, Mein Heimatland") was stopped. Busse had already hiked the Baden countryside in his early years. His merits lie in the documentation and safeguarding of art treasures and folk customs , especially traditional costumes and carnival . He encouraged fools to see and meet fools in the Upper Swabian region. He coined the name " Madonnenländchen " for the region between the Main, Tauber and Neckar, which is rich in wayside shrines . He wrote numerous articles on regional history in the annual publications Badische Heimat .

In addition, Busse also began to write novels and stories, all of which are also linked to the state of Baden . His greatest success was the Black Forest novel trilogy "Bauernadel" (1930). Some of Buss' works have been translated into Dutch and Czech.

criticism

Busses work is close to the ideology of the National Socialist peasant literature with its anti-civilizing tendencies, praising the down-to-earth nature of the peasant ideal.

Due to the special role played by the regional association Badische Heimat in the state of Baden and its proximity to the state since the association was founded, it was inconceivable for Busse to distance themselves from National Socialism without risking the association's work and existence. The NSDAP stepped buses at in the 1941st His own closeness to the blood and soil ideology and the Völkisch movement made him personally interesting for the National Socialists as a multiplier for their ideology beyond this exposed position of the association. Janssen also sees this proximity to National Socialism, who describes Busses works as folkish writings with a “strongly down-to-earth and anti-technology tendency”. Despite the fact that Nazi members filled the board of directors of the association, Busse was able to keep the ideological eulogies in the publications of the Badische Heimat to a minimum, so that in 1938 the party classified him as "unreliable". Nonetheless, he is among those authors who were allowed to contribute to the volume Dem Führer - Poems for Adolf Hitler published by Karl Hans Bühner in 1939 . In the same year 1939 he also received the Johann-Peter-Hebel-Prize of the National Socialist Baden Minister for Culture and Education, Otto Wacker . Between 1922 and 1941 Busse published many descriptions of the region as annual volumes of the Badische Heimat regional association .

After 1945 he was initially considered to be “burdened” and was dismissed from school “for political reasons”. A few months before his death, on April 8, 1947, Busse was largely rehabilitated in his trial chamber proceedings and granted him partial pension entitlement.
