Karl Alnor (born February 7, 1891 in Kiel , † June 8, 1940, died in France ) was a National Socialist history teacher and professor at the college for teacher training in Kiel.

Life

Alnor graduated from high school in Kiel- Gaarden , studied in Kiel and received his doctorate in 1914 on a topic on the history of Flensburg . As a volunteer from August 4, 1914, he was seriously wounded as a lieutenant in World War I and in October 1914 in the fighting near Langemarck . In 1919 he completed his legal clerkship in Kiel, where he was a teacher until 1933. Alnor was close to the “ folk researchers ” from an early age . He was particularly interested in border and minority issues in Northern Schleswig , for which he worked as an extremist functionary in the Weimar Republic . In July 1933 he became professor for German history, methodology of history teaching and borderland studies at the Kiel University for Teacher Training .

In 1933 he became a member of the NSDAP and the SA , then also joined the NSLB . In November 1933 he signed the German professors' confession of Adolf Hitler . Alnor worked on the book series The National Socialist Educational Idea in School Classes and wrote two volumes on history classes, as well as a draft curriculum for history classes in elementary schools. This curriculum was probably put into practice in the university's training schools from 1937. He divided German history into new epochs using catchphrases such as “ blood and soil ” or “race, space, empire”. From 1937 Alnor and Moritz Edelmann were the editor of the history-didactic journal " Past and Present ".

As a reserve officer, Alnor fell in the 1940 campaign in France .

After the war Alnors writings were comparative historical figures of the past 50 years for the racial history lessons (Zickfeldt, Osterwieck 1934), history lessons (Zickfeldt, Osterwieck 1935) and Schleswig-Holstein heritage and mission (Runge, Berlin 1937) in the Soviet occupation zone to the list of literature to be discarded.

Karl Alnor was the older brother of Walter Alnor , from 1941 to 1943 area commissioner in the Reichskommissariat Ostland .
