Live and act

Martin Franz Wilhelm Löpelmann was born as the first son of the railway station assistant Paul Arnold Löpelmann and his wife Marie Emilie Selma, née Graefe, on April 6, 1891 at Langestrasse 38 in Berlin. Löpelmann attended elementary school and grammar school at the Gray Monastery in Berlin. After graduation in 1909 studied Löpelmann Philology at the Friedrich-Wilhelms University in Berlin and received his doctorate in 1913 for Dr. phil . In 1914 he passed the state examination for the higher teaching post. He married Auguste Marie Frieda, nee Blaschay, on October 16, 1920 at the Schöneberg registry office. From this marriage the director, set designer, painter, sculptor and writer Götz Loepelmann emerged.

In 1914 Löpelmann took part for a short time in the First World War as a member of the Jäger Regiment on Horseback No. 4, Landwehr Infantry Regiment No. 12 and Land Infantry Regiment No. 1. After the end of the war, Löpelmann taught from 1919 to 1933 as a teacher at a grammar school in Berlin-Schöneberg . His subjects were foreign languages ​​and without a degree in biology.

Political and ministerial career

First he belonged to the DNVP and from 1926 to the Bund Wiking , where he became group leader. In 1928 Löpelmann joined the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP). In the following years there were several criminal proceedings against Löpelmann for anti- republican and anti-Semitic statements. From November 1929 to 1933 Löpelmann was a city ​​councilor in Berlin. He also headed the local branch of the NSLB .

In the general election of September 1930 Löpelmann was a candidate of his party for the constituency 3 (Potsdam II) in the Reichstag voted, which it initially belonged to May 1932nd In November 1933 Löpelmann returned to the National Socialist Reichstag as a representative of constituency 4 (Potsdam I) , to which he now belonged until March 1936. From 1932 to 1933 Löpelmann was a member of the Prussian Landtag .

After 1933 Löpelmann was Ministerialrat in the Prussian Ministry of Education, from 1935 Ministerialleiter in the Reich Ministry of Education, where he headed the department for secondary schools. In the first years of National Socialist rule, Löpelmann was involved in a long-term dispute with the Reich youth leader Baldur von Schirach , whom he called an "old maid" and whose upbringing principle "youth leads youth" he rejected. As a result, in 1936 a party exclusion procedure was initiated against Löpelmann for behavior that was harmful to the party, in which he was initially only warned. The department for higher education was taken over by Dr. Gustav Ehrlicher. In 1938, Loepelmann was finally expelled from the party and retired on Hitler's instructions. The allegations included too much consideration for disabled children.

After 1945

Already before 1945 and until his death he worked as a translator and editor of sagas and poetry. So he translated, among other things, texts by François Villon ( girls in the taverns , set to music and sung by Reinhard Mey ) into German.
