Deprivation
With the assumption of supremacy by NSDAP Mayor Hans Harbauer , Paul von Hindenburg as Reich President and Adolf Hitler as Reich Chancellor (the latter verifiably on November 9, 1933 ) also received honorary citizenship of the city. These were probably revoked again after 1945, as neither of them is listed in the official overview of the city (see also: Paul von Hindenburg as an honorary citizen and Adolf Hitler as an honorary citizen ).
