biography

Reinhart was the son of the Protestant Breslau senior telegraph secretary Rudolf Reinhart. From 1893 to 1900 he attended the Elisabethgymnasium in Breslau and then the Friedrichsgymnasium in Frankfurt an der Oder , where he passed the Abitur in 1903. He originally wanted to study mathematics and natural sciences at the University of Berlin , but after a year at Easter 1904 he switched to the University of Breslau to devote himself only to the natural sciences. On November 14, 1906, he successfully passed the rigorosum exam . As part of the doctoral procedure on February 27, 1907, he gave a lecture in the Aula Leopoldina on the subject of the relationships between the fauna of the polar regions . His doctoral supervisor was the zoologist and explorer Wilhelm Kükenthal from the Zoological Institute of the University of Breslau , who wrote the scientific work "On the construction of some Nephthyids" for the academic degree of Dr. phil. supervised and under whose direction Reinhart had carried out the investigations on preserved objects in the Breslau Zoological Museum. During his studies he attended lectures in other disciplines , including those on Christian philosophy , which Matthias Baumgartner (1865–1933), then a philosophy professor at the University of Breslau, held.

His career as a journalist began earlier in the editorial office of the Schlesische Zeitung , a newspaper that is not affiliated with any party, but “with a decidedly Christian attitude”. According to Georg Dertinger , Reinhart had always remained true to this attitude . Reinhart held board positions in the Reich Association of the German Press during the Weimar Republic . This he had in 1933 after the seizure of the Nazis to resign because he was not a member of the Nazi party wanted to be. Hugo Reinhart wrote already after the First World War :

  • Hunger is the best cook -
  • The saying can stand.
  • He who is hungry will be true
  • Also do not revile meager food.
  • Hunger is bad advice -
  • You may also consider that!
  • The longing that the stomach has
  • Shouldn't the mind guide you.
  • Quite a few, to whom the bait beckons,
  • Looking forward to the meal.
  • Before he knows it, he will
  • Eaten by the other himself.
  • Therefore you should yourself before the meal
  • Take a good look at the bite
  • Because sometimes there is a catch -
  • You can't digest it.

In 1919, in addition to his work as an editor at the daily newspaper in Breslau, Reinhart took over the editing of a local calendar, which was published under the title "Schlesischer Heimatkalender für das Jahr 1920" by Bergstadtverlag Wilhelm Gottlieb Korn , whose printing house also produced the Schlesische Zeitung . During this time the editor of the Schlesische Zeitung lived in Hansastraße in Breslau and during the Second World War on Fernstraße.

Reinhart joined the CDU in January 1946. He initially worked as deputy editor-in-chief of the CDU central organ Neue Zeit in Berlin , and at the beginning of 1947 he was appointed editor and deputy editor-in-chief of the CDU newspaper for Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania , Der Demokratie , published in Schwerin , which at the time approved one from the Soviet occupying power Edition of 20 thousand copies. At that time Arthur Janssen was the editor-in-chief there, who had just replaced the first editor-in-chief of this CDU regional newspaper, Hans-Werner Gyßling , who had been replaced for political reasons . At the end of 1947, Reinhart initially took over the editor-in-chief as a substitute, which was then fully transferred to him in 1948. The journalist Barbara Faensen, nee Altmann (1929-2000), remembered her volunteer time in the newsroom of the Democrat in Schwerin as Reinhart there conducting worked and valued him as an old and experienced editor in chief of pure Chara cat, strict work ethic and great enthusiasm , of his The very young team promoted or slowed down, stimulated or criticized and sensitively passed on its comprehensive general education without irony and conceit. The then features editor Hubert Faensen was one of the "quite young team" .

Reinhart lived in today's Schweriner Alexandrinenstrasse 33 (then Karl-Marx-Strasse). In July 1952, Reinhart was also given the task of working in the Neue Zeit editorial team in Berlin as deputy editor-in-chief and head of the service under editor-in-chief Alwin Schaper . The Schwerin editor-in-chief was transferred to Berlin as a precaution in the summer of 1952 by the CDU party leadership. He had previously rejected the criticism of the SED press against CDU functionaries in the “Demokrat” as “incorrect” and “undemocratic” .

Reinhart was a member and functionary in the Kulturbund and in the Society for German-Soviet Friendship . He also worked in the so-called Association of the German Press .

On behalf of the main board of the Christian Democratic Union (party leadership), Georg Dertinger wrote the obituary for Reinhart's death in December 1952 - a few weeks before his arrest - whom he knew personally and occasionally worked with him. Dertinger emphasized that the deceased at the age of 68 was committed to overcoming the division in Germany .

Death had surprised Reinhart while he was working at his desk. Reinhart was married to Charlotte Reinhart, née von Helmolt ; both had a daughter. He was buried in Berlin at the Pankow III cemetery . Among the mourners were Otto Nuschke , Reinhold Lobedanz , Gerald Götting , Werner Franke as well as the chairmen of the CDU district associations of Schwerin and Rostock , representatives of Union Verlag Berlin and the newspapers Der Demokratie and Neue Zeit and the Association of the German Press . The sermon was delivered by the evangelical pastor Rudolf Bauers (* 1907) from the Friedenskirche in Berlin-Niederschönhausen , who in his words of remembrance of Reinhart emphasized "the deep humanity and the trust in God of the eternal man as his most essential character traits". Reinhart last lived at 9 Herthaplatz in Berlin-Pankow .
