Lothar Irle

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lothar Irle (born May 16, 1905 in Niedersetzen , † May 15, 1974 in Siegen ) was a German homeland researcher and writer.

Life

Lothar Irle was the son of Albert and Anna Emilie Irle, geb. Cutter. In 1925 he completed the teachers' seminar in Hilchenbach and studied from 1925 to 1927 at the University of Marburg and from 1927 to 1931 at the University of Frankfurt am Main Nordic and German philology , history and folklore .

At the latest while attending the teachers' seminar, he became politically active and organized himself on the right edge of the political spectrum. As early as 1923 he joined the Ehrhardt Brigade before joining the Völkisch-Sozialen Block (VSFB), a replacement organization of the NSDAP , which was banned at the time , and of which he became a member in 1931. Irle intensified his activities for National Socialism considerably after 1933. In the NSDAP, of course, he had previously held the position of local group leader. He was a member of the SA and was promoted to Oberscharführer in 1937.

Among other things, Irle was a regional training speaker for the NSDAP and a member of the Reich Reading Book Commission for Hesse and the industrial area (= Ruhr area). After receiving his doctorate in 1934, he left school and worked as a lecturer in folklore at the Dortmund University for Teacher Training . "He owed this steep rise to the fact that he had distinguished himself as a 'champion for National Socialism' (Siegener Zeitung)". From 1938 he was in the Gau Westfalen-Süd Gau leader of the National Socialist German Lecturer Association . Irle was an avowed anti-Semite .

Due to his considerable Nazi burden, he was dismissed from school service in the course of the denazification and not reinstated. Since then he has worked as an insurance agent. Irle wrote around 40 publications about the Siegerland . His writings represent the continuity of ethno- biological and völkisch conceptions in local literature and folklore beyond 1945. In this milieu he was by no means alone. The post-National Socialist regional history and culture remained shaped by the former National Socialists. Irle was for many years the district chairman and since 1969 honorary chairman of the Sauerland Mountain Club, District Siegerland, as well as a member of the board of the Siegerland Heimat- und Geschichtsverein. The Siegerland personalities and gender lexicon published by Irle and published by Irle is an example of the cultural memory perspective represented by Irle. It does not name members of the groups excluded and persecuted by the Nazi regime, i.e. members of the Jewish minority, Sinti descendants, communists or social democrats with a few exceptions, but in large numbers and without exception it has positive connotations of protagonists of the Nazi system with and without Siegerland origin (" Hermann Giesler , ..., professor, architect, including builder of the Vogelsang training castle"). The publisher of the book sees in it an "extract from which blood-based, family relationships and relationships can be explored."

Ile's NS vita and the völkisch continuity in his professional contributions were never presented or discussed in the regional public during his lifetime and far beyond.
