Life

The miner's daughter joined the socialist children's organization “ Falken ” when she was nine .

In 1938 she went into hiding and from 1939 worked as a saleswoman in Dresden . From February 1941 she worked again in a grocery store in the town of Turn , which is now part of Teplice , also to be able to help the sick mother.

With the climbing club "Lindenbrüder Hohenstein", which gradually emerged in 1940, Herta went on hiking and climbing tours between spring and autumn 1941.

She was arrested on November 27, 1941. Her father was also arrested. A year spent in Most in custody , both were brought to Berlin. On November 23, 1942, she and several co-defendants were sentenced to death for producing and distributing writings, for favoring the enemy and for organizational preparation for high treason .

Her father was also sentenced to death in a trial and executed a fortnight after his daughter's death .

Honors

Also work brigades carried their name, the youth brigade in VEB iron and steelworks Thale . The VEB Vereinigte Hausschuhwerke Hartha Werk Großharthau and the associated vocational school in Großharthau also received their names.
