Hugo Jacob

Hugo Jacob (born June 28, 1883 in Unterloquitz ; † April 26, 1949 near Stiebritz ) was a Thuringian teacher, senior teacher and local researcher .

As the son of a railway employee, Jacob attended the teachers' college in Weimar from 1898 to 1904 . He was then employed in Kospoda and in 1907 transferred to Stiebritz . There, interrupted by military service in 1915/16, he worked as a teacher and senior teacher for the villages of Stiebritz and Hainichen until 1944. In addition, Jacob was involved in the entire cultural life of his communities, for example as the founder and head of a choral society, as an organizer of theater performances and trips to Weimar, as accountant and secretary of the political and church communities or in adult education for local history. Jacob was a passionate painter, draftsman and photographer. At the same time he was interested in the collection of regional historical sources and manuscripts. His marriage to the daughter of the Stiebritz mayor Rosenhain in 1909 resulted in two children.

At the time of the Weimar Republic Jacob was active in the organization of the Landbund . In 1938 he became a member of the NSDAP and in autumn 1945, by order of the Soviet military administration, he was dismissed from school.
