Live and act

Early years

Klaus-Peter Schulz grew up in Osterholz-Scharmbeck, a district town in Lower Saxony just north of Bremen. After attending primary school, he began an apprenticeship as a butcher in 1957. After completing his apprenticeship, he was hired as a cook's mate on the Berlin , a ship that was then on the regular service between Bremerhaven and New York. He returned to his hometown and initially worked as a butcher again. Since his childhood Schulz had a great interest in the prehistory and early history of his homeland and became a close collaborator of Johann Segelken, who founded the local homeland research and the local history museum in Osterholz-Scharmbeck with his Osterholz-Scharmbecker Heimatbuch in the 1930s. In 1972 Schulz became a volunteer ground monument curator for the district of Osterholz , and after Johann Segelken's retirement in 1973, he also became the full-time director of the local history museum. Schulz has put prehistoric and historical local research in the Osterholz district on a new and - although autodidact - also scientific basis.

Ground monument curator

As a conservationist, Schulz pointed out the endangerment of prehistoric sites through robbery excavations and earthworks, introduced signs to protect them, and repeatedly involved the public in archaeological work, be it through exhibitions, museum tours, lessons in schools, teaching excavations with volunteers, and the creation of the Seemoor prehistory trail near Steden. Schulz won a number of volunteers for the preservation of monuments. In cooperation with the state and district monuments authorities, he completed the archaeological survey of the Osterholz district in 1982, led numerous emergency excavations and initiated systematic excavations of several important sites. He introduced innovative scientific methodology in the Osterholz district, such as aerial photography at different times of the day and year and with infrared film, in order to discover new sites. His most important finds of supraregional importance include the Bronze Age face urn by Settenbeck and the Syrian ivory beaker by Stendorf. Schulz has contributed to numerous master's and doctoral theses by students of prehistory and early history.

Museum director

The greatest expansion and development of the Heimatmuseum took place during Schulz's almost thirty-year tenure as museum director. The collection in the Osterholz Findorffhaus was expanded to include a farmhouse, a bakery, a wattle barn and the Moorschiffmuseum, making the District Home Museum one of the largest local history collections in north-west Germany. Schulz developed museum educational approaches for children at an early age. Schulz became well known beyond Osterholz-Scharmbeck as an expert in local history through his regular guided tours for school classes, groups and private individuals. He initiated numerous special exhibitions in the museum on a broad spectrum of local history topics, ranging from prehistory to the Middle Ages and modern times, whereby he did not omit social topics (e.g. collector's pictures from the 1930s, Foreign Home Lower Saxony - Arrival Osterholz- Scharmbeck).

Local history explorer

As the son of a long-established Scharmbeck family, Schulz became a collector of stories and objects from his homeland. He carried out systematic research in archives and created complete family trees of the farms in Scharmbeck, Osterholz and some surrounding communities, which can be viewed in the Osterholz district archive today. A historical photo book about Osterholz-Scharmbeck, a chronicle of the municipality of Hülseberg , and the chronicle of the Scharmbeck rifle club (of which he was a member and king of the rifle), appeared as monographs (see: Writings). Much of his research (e.g. a twelve-part series on the history of health care and medicine in Osterholz-Scharmbeck) he published in local newspapers; and advised journalists on topics related to local history. Through his family tree research he became a contact person for descendants of former emigrants worldwide. Schulz achieved his most far-reaching importance as a local researcher through his research on Jewish regional history. He documented all Jewish cemeteries in the Elbe-Weser triangle and reconstructed both the family trees of the Jewish families and their fate in the Third Reich. This work is now stored in the central Jewish archive in Heidelberg.

Late years

Schulz retired in 2003 for health reasons as museum director and ground monument curator, but continued his research into local history until his death.
