biography

Schulz attended high school in Stargard in Pomerania . He studied in 1926 at the University of Greifswald , the University of Leipzig and the Friedrich Wilhelms University in Berlin and received his doctorate in Greifswald in 1926. After that he started working at various libraries, including a. he was a librarian in Stettin and from 1929 head of the Gera library and from 1934 head of the Thuringian state office for popular libraries in Jena . Schulz was also head of the literature section in the National Socialist League for German Culture . In Gera he initiated a police action against commercial lending libraries.

In 1936, Schulz succeeded Arthur Heidenhain as the full-time director of the Bremen Public Libraries , which was newly founded in 1933 , the successor to the Bremen Reading Hall , which was temporarily headed by the director of the Bremen State Library Hinrich Knittermeyer . From 1933 to 1936, the former reading hall in Bremen was merged with the previously dissolved workers' central library of the trade unions and the library of the culture committee of the winter relief organization as the Bremen public libraries , which Schulz headed as director until 1945. During his tenure, as in Thuringia before, he continued to actively “clean up” the holdings of the literature banned by the National Socialists . He emphasizes the expansion of the library through further branches and the modernization of the library facilities “as an instrument for National Socialist decision-making and training”. After the Second World War, Schulz resigned himself from his dismissal by the US military government because of his National Socialist activities.

In 1951 he became the full-time head of the library of the Bremen Evangelical Church . He became a regional church librarian and editor of the church newspaper Einkehr . He wrote the story of the Bremen St. Pauli Church , 1962 Have Eder church and in 1963 the Diakonie from Bremen Cathedral .

As before the war, Schulz devoted himself intensively to his literary ambitions after 1945. In 1939, again in 1955, 1961, 1965 and 1968 he published various editions of a selection of works by and about Hermann Allmers on behalf of the Hermann Allmers Society, of which he was secretary. After the war, books and essays on cultural history were written. In 1957 he published the Pomeranian sagas . He also wrote three novels, several stage plays and Low German radio plays. He was also an employee of the Weser-Kurier . Last lived in Kirchhorst - Stelle, near Hanover. Schulz was on the Ev.-luth. Buried in St. Nicolai's cemetery in Isernhagen-Kirchhorst (Hanover region).
