The former Karl-Wagenfeld-Straße in Sundern after the renaming

Karl Wagenfeld (born April 5, 1869 in Lüdinghausen , † December 19, 1939 in Münster ) was a German home activist, researcher and poet, primarily of the Low German language .

Life

Karl Wagenfeld was born on April 5, 1869 in Lüdinghausen as the son of a railway official. Soon after his son was born, his father was transferred to Drensteinfurt , where Low German was the only colloquial language at that time, so that it became the primary language for Wagenfeld. After attending elementary school in Drensteinfurt (1875 to 1883), he decided to become an elementary school teacher. The local pastor Friedrich Möllenbeck also gave him private lessons in Latin . At the same time he was instructed in the subjects of the preparation institute .

From the fall of 1886, Wagenfeld attended the Warendorfer teachers' seminar, which he completed in August 1889 with the first state examination. He then began teaching at a peasant school in the village of Göttingen near Liesborn in what was then the Beckum district . In 1891 he was transferred to Bockholt in the Recklinghausen district and in 1896 to Recklinghausen . From 1899 he taught at the Martinischule in Münster .

During this time Wagenfeld began to deal intensively with homeland care . In 1915 he was one of the founders of the Westfälischer Heimatbund (WHB), whose cultural-political orientation was "primarily" determined and theoretically founded. This happened on a national basis. With a view to the establishment of the WHB, he had already declared in 1913 that the “home question” was not a question of the landscape, the building of houses or the language, “but a question of race, a tribal question”, because there was a risk that “the slavery and strangers of the Industrial district ”in“ a new migration of peoples ... overrun us, ruin our entire ethnic group ”. Therefore "every national comrade has to be hammered into the feeling of home and tribal". Here he saw the central task of the Westphalian homeland movement.

During the First World War, Wagenfeld, who was never deployed at the front, worked extensively as a war propagandist. This part of his activity was excluded in later editions of the work, so that it is largely unknown today.

From 1921 to 1926 he also took over the management of the Heimatbund. Subsequently, he was initially deputy chairman and from 1933 to 1934 chairman. In 1919, together with Friedrich Castelle , he took over the editing of the folklore section of the Heimatblätter der Rote Erde . When Castelle left, he was the sole editor until the magazine was discontinued in 1927.

In order to be able to pursue the club's obligations and folklore research, the minister of education had given him leave of absence for the collection of Westphalian folk songs in 1914 at the request of the "Association of German societies for folklore" . However, due to the war, he did not take up this position until 1919. Temporary retirement followed in 1925 and then final retirement in 1932. During the last ten years of his life, Wagenfeld was weakened by illness. He died on December 19, 1939 in Münster.

Just as Wagenfeld is considered to be the “driving force of the Westphalian homeland movement”, he is also considered to be a representative of xenophobic and racist views “that were in line with National Socialist ideology”. In 1923, in his speech at the Westphalian Day in Soest on migration to the industrial area on the Rhine and Ruhr, he declared that “the idea of ​​home” was “called ... to erect the best protective wall against the penetration of a foreign culture that is nestling in western Germany would like to. ”In 1926/27 he called for“ racial unity ”in a local publication. He opposed the “mixed race of the big city” with the “blond Low Germans”. He was a proponent of eugenics to protect the "tribal and blood inheritance of the fathers" against "foreign races". He saw the opponents of the homeland movement and its goals partly in members of foreign peoples outside the German borders, partly in "foreign races" within the German borders who would "abuse the German hospitality law". He threatened them that whoever did not honor their homeland would be "a rascal and not worth the happiness in their homeland." Against these rags there was "only fight, fight to the victorious end". In 1931 he warned against misdemeanors of racial hygiene with the aim of better "homeland security": "Marriages with their blood mixtures of different tribes and races" would "permanently and not always favorably (influence) the hereditary masses." The takeover of power by the National Socialists and their German national allies welcomed he as the fulfillment of the goals of the homeland movement. Even before the start of the multi-year ban on entry into the NSDAP, which was directed against “economic knights”, he succeeded in joining the party at the end of April 1933. To a National Socialist friend he justified his entry by saying that he had recognized “the absolute necessity” of “joining the NSDAP”. Anyone who sees him as an “economic hunter” will be hit “in the face”. He hoped that he would be able to “work shoulder to shoulder” with his friend for the “German cause” “even better than before”. He later admitted that it had to be "the German person as the bearer of German character ... the means and end point of German homeland security". "German homeland security" had to become a "people's affair" and stated: "The new Reich brought my demands to fruition."

As chairman of the WHB, he organized the Westphalian Day on 16./17. September 1933 for the Nazi propaganda show. The motto of the event was "Heimat und Reich", which stood for the alliance between the Heimat movement and National Socialism. Wagenfeld advocated this alliance. In his speech he thanked the “Führer” and vowed “Westphalian loyalty, a pious 'Guod help!' To him and his great work! a hopeful 'Glückauf', a manly 'Sieg Heil!' "However, the WHB was dissolved on the occasion of the Westphalian Day and transferred to the Reichsbund Volkstum und Heimat (RVH). This, in turn, was incorporated into the "Office for Ethnicity and Homeland" of the NSG Kraft durch Freude at the end of 1933 . The board of directors of the WHB was replaced, but Wagenfeld remained a landscape guide and on March 29, 1934 was appointed to the Reich leadership of the RVH as a “specialist for Westphalian homeland issues”. However, a progressive illness prevented Wagenfeld from continuing to work, so that as early as April 21, 1934, Governor Karl-Friedrich Kolbow Wagenfeld succeeded him as a landscape guide in the RVH.

Against this background, Karl Ditt from the Westphalian Regional History Institute of the Landschaftsverband Westfalen-Lippe (LWL) and an expert on questions relating to the Westphalian homeland movement saw him as a “pioneer and propagandist of National Socialism”.

In 1990 the Westphalian author and publicist Rainer Schepper characterized Wagenfeld's view of man and the world on the basis of Wagenfeld's own statements: “Negroes, Kaffirs and Hottentots are half animals, people in 'cripple and idiot institutions', in welfare homes and penal institutions are physically and mentally inferior. It is the image of man that National Socialism used to establish its ideology of the master man and sub-man, to enact the Nuremberg Laws of September 16, 1935, to euthanize mentally and mentally ill people, to fight everything 'alien', to war against 'France's hatred 'and' Poland's greed 'needed and used. "

The Lexicon of Westphalian Authors of the LWL Literature Commission closes its Wagenfeld article with this quote.

Numerous streets in Westphalian cities were given the name Wagenfeld, which in the meantime has met with opposition in many places due to its role as an "active supporter of the Nazi regime" and has led to renaming. The Münster reasoning can be regarded as representative, according to which “Wagenfeld offered himself to the Nazi regime out of full conviction, not for opportunistic reasons. The National Socialist ideology was able to build on his work before 1933. “As a rule, the resolutions were passed unanimously or against a small minority.

The following locations have been renamed: Arnsberg (2013), Burgsteinfurt (2012, new namesake: James Henry C. Lindesay , British city commander), Emsdetten (new namesake: Wilhelm Wagenfeld , Bauhaus designer), Ibbenbüren (new namesake: Wilhelm Wagenfeld), Laer (new namesake: Wilhelm Wagenfeld), Lünen (2012, new namesake: Ernesto Piepenbring ), Metelen (2012, new name: Josefweg ), Münster (2012, new namesake: Robert Blum ), Neuenkirchen (new namesake: Heinrich Heine ), Neuenkirchen-St. Arnold (2011, new namesake: Erich Kästner ), Ochtrup (2012), Ostbevern (2011, new namesake: Bernhard Tüssing , son of the rent master of Castle Bevern), Paderborn-Elsen (2013, new name: Lavendelweg ), Rheine-Mesum ( 2012, new namesake: Wolfgang Borchert ), Telgte (2012, new namesake: Salomon Lefmann ). Warstein (2012, new namesake: Josefa Hoffmann). The discussion has started in Ahlen but is not yet over. In Dortmund, the city archives issued a statement in favor of renaming Wagenfeldstrasse.

The Wagenfeld expert Karl Ditt spoke out against renaming in 2011 and advised instead that the street signs should be supplemented with information. In this sense, the municipalities in Drensteinfurt (2010) and Ahaus (2012) as well as in Sendenhorst (2012), where a large majority of the representatives of the SPD, CDU and FDP in the urban development committee emphatically rejected the renaming. The objection to such additional signs in Neuenkirchen-St. Arnold "Then we have to keep asking ourselves why we don't rename the streets despite this knowledge." In Ochtrup, the CDU parliamentary group (which lost in the subsequent vote) suggested keeping the name, but also a sign with a QR code to be attached, since everyone could find out about Wagenfeld's Nazi activities. The renaming of Karl-Wagenfeld-Straße to Rheda-Wiedenbrück (2014) was also rejected . Instead, the street sign was provided with a notice board.

At the Karl-Wagenfeld-Realschule in Münster, a discussion about the name started in 2011, which ended in 2013 with the application of the school conference to the council to rename the school after the founder of the zoo in Münster, Hermann Landois . After well-founded accusations of racism were raised against Landois, the discussion became difficult. On November 1, 2015, the school was renamed Erna-de-Vries Realschule after the German  Holocaust survivor  and contemporary witness Erna de Vries .

In addition to the secondary school named after Wagenfeld in Münster, there was a primary school with this name in Arnsberg until 2012 . After a decision by the city council, it was renamed Graf-Gottfried-Schule in 2012 .

Also in Bottrop / Westf. there was a Karl-Wagenfeld-Grundschule, it has since been renamed Astrid-Lindgren-Grundschule.

Fiction

Wagenfeld's work includes numerous dramas - mainly for the peasant stage (e.g. Daud un Düwel and De Antichrist are still known today ) - poems and stories. The latter have childhood memories and descriptions of nature on the subject, but popular stories from the Münsterland such as visions of unearthly powers (e.g. in De Vuegelfrauenversammlunk or Janns Bauhnenkamp's journey to hell ) are the subject of his prose works .

Wagenfeld was highly valued by some of the contemporary literary experts and given attributes such as "one of the best Low German poets" (1913) or one of the "most important Neo-Slat German poets. Dramatists and epic poets" and "Master of the short story in Westphalian Platt" (1920) . In the laudation on the occasion of the awarding of the John Brinckman Prize (1924) it was said that he was “so high and great that the upstunns could not do anything for a Plattdütsch poet”. The Germanist Wolfgang Stammler , who was involved in the book burning in 1933, described him in 1920 in his history of Low German literature from the earliest times to the present as "the most important of all living Low German poets".

Other literary scholars, also ideologically related, remained more cautious. After its literary successes, Wagenfeld only briefly mentions the "History of German Literature" by Adolf Bartels , published in numerous editions, as one of numerous other Low German authors.

The positive assessments of the first half of the 20th century are no longer represented today. The Killy literary lexicon, which is currently twelve volumes, does not name him. In regional literary history he is referred to as a literary "pioneer of National Socialism" who appeared as a propagandist in his poems about the First World War and whose "sarcasm" was already directed "against the Jews" (2009). The Westphalian History portal of the Westphalia-Lippe Regional Association states in a nutshell: "Westphalian dialect writer with a nationalist-racist attitude".

Local history

Wagenfeld dealt with the tradition of customs and dances from the Münsterland folk life, in particular of songs that were sung at peasant weddings and shooting festivals. Traditional proverbs, idioms, children's verses and songs, belief and superstition in the Münsterland, research on names and terms were other topics.
