Johannes Dingfelder , pseudonym Germanus Agricola (born February 20, 1867 in Lipprichhausen , † spring 1945 in [uncertain] Munich ) was a German doctor and ethnic politician. He gave the main speech at the founding meeting of the NSDAP on February 24, 1920.

Life and activity

Dingfelder studied medicine at the University of Erlangen and received his doctorate in 1890 with the dissertation Contribution to the study of the sphere of vision . Then he settled as a doctor in Middle Franconia . There he eventually headed the Burgbernheim spa . As a physician, he distinguished himself as an advocate of electrohomeopathy . In 1899 he founded an anti-Semitic party in Lower Franconia or Middle Franconia. According to Henry Ashby Turner , Dingfelder was also active in the anti-Semitic Reichshammerbund before the First World War . In 1913, Dingfelder and his family moved to Munich, where he established himself as a general practitioner.

During the First World War , Dingfelder took part in the establishment of the POW welfare organization, prompted by the capture of his eldest son, Hermann Dingfelder (1892–1958), who later became known as a homeopath . After the establishment of the Bavarian section of the German War Graves Protection Association on September 14, 1919, he took over the post of 1st state chairman. During the war he also made a name for himself as a political speaker for the so-called Heimatdienst, which was supposed to put the population in a pro-war mood through large propaganda campaigns and thus persuade them to persevere.

Dingfelder was a member of the Bavarian Mittelstandsbund , the Deutschvölkischer Schutz- und Trutzbund and is said to have been a member of the Thule Society . In 1919 he was won by Anton Drexler as the main speaker for the first mass event of the German Workers' Party (DAP) founded by Drexler and Karl Harrer . At this meeting held on February 24, 1920 in the Hofbräuhaus , which was attended by 2,000 people, Adolf Hitler presented the 25-point program of the new party, which also served as a National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP) re-founded. In Hitler's book Mein Kampf , Dingfelder is mentioned - allegedly out of annoyance because Dingfelder did not show him the respect that he claimed to be entitled to - in this context in anonymized form with the words "After the first speaker had ended, I spoke" . In the 1920s, Dingfelder was a highly regarded individual in the Munich political scene and maintained close relationships with leading exponents of the NSDAP such as Dietrich Eckart and Hermann Esser, as well as with other important figures such as Gustav Ritter von Kahr and the Bavarian Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria . His “folkish economic myth” is considered to have a strong influence on Gottfried Feder's economic policy concepts .

Dingfelder never joined the party itself. However, he was always a special guest of honor Hitler welcomed at the annual party foundation ceremony in the Hofbräuhaus.
