Career

education and profession

Hermann Rambach was born as the son of the musical artist Hermann Rambach. His parents' house was on Kirchstrasse in the Baden town of Waldkirch. He attended the elementary school near his parents' house and switched to the Plähn Institute at the age of ten. After completing secondary school, he completed an administration apprenticeship with the city of Waldkirch and then worked for a short time in the city. In 1929 he switched to the private sector. In 1947 he gave up his job in a Waldkirch brewery and became deputy head of the Baden state press office . He was a close associate of President Leo Wohleb . In 1948 he became head of the district office for monument protection and homeland preservation in the district of Emmendingen . From 1951 he worked for a short time in the State Office for Prehistory and then as a clerk at the Monuments and Culture Office of the Freiburg Regional Council . In 1971 he retired.

Local history

His father had aroused his interest in the city's history early on. He deepened his homeland awareness during his school days. Finally, during an illness that tied him to the sick bed for years, he began to research the history of the town of Waldkirch and the Elz Valley himself . In November 1988 and December 1991 he published his two-volume work Waldkirch und das Elztal .

From 1952 he ran the town's newly established local history museum on a voluntary basis and was made an honorary officer in 1957 . He expanded the collection and in 1985 initiated the reopening of the Elztal Museum in the former Propsteig building.

In 1947 he founded the Waldkirch section of the Breisgau history association “Schau-ins-Land” and chaired it until 1982. In 1948 he was a co-founder of the Waldkirch Heimat- und Verkehrsverein and, until 1958, editor of the Waldkirch Heimatbrief .
