from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oskar Suffert (born December 23, 1892 in Hanover ; † February 13, 1974 in Detmold ) was a German philologist, museum director and nature conservation officer.

Life

After graduating from the Leibniz School in Hanover in 1911, Suffert studied history, art history, German, Romance studies, philosophy and natural sciences at the Philipps University of Marburg . During his studies in 1911 he became a member of the Marburg Burschenschaft Rheinfranken . His studies were suspended while he took part in the First World War . He received the Iron Cross 1st Class and the silver badge for triple wounding. In 1920/1921 he passed the first state examination in French, German, history and philosophy. His legal traineeship took place at the Humboldt School in Hanover , which he completed in 1922 with the second state examination. In 1922 he founded a higher private school inAmelinghausen , which he headed until 1924. From 1924 to 1927 he was a teacher at the reform high school in Uelzen . From 1927 to 1934 he was a teacher at the municipal lyceum Detmold.

Since 1916, Suffert was a member of the Detmold local association of the Volkischer Deutschbund , of which Wilhelm Teudt was the "German Master". In 1928 he was also one of the founders of Teudt's “ Association of Friends of Germanic Prehistory ”. Suffert was editor of Teudts magazine Germanien . For the period from 1927 to 1935 he is characterized as "one of Wilhelm Teudt's closest paladins".

In 1934 Suffert was appointed director of the Lippisches Landesmuseum as the successor to Eduard Wiegand , who however retained the management of the Lippische Landesbibliothek and the Lippisches Landesarchiv . Suffert did his military service in the Second World War in Stalag 326 in the Senne near Stukenbrock .

Suffert was 2nd chairman of the natural science and historical association for the state of Lippe , on the board of the Lippischen Heimatbund and co-editor and deputy chairman of the Lippische Mitteilungen.

From 1936 to 1954, Suffert was nature conservation officer for the state of Lippe . Willi Oberkrome dealt critically with Suffert's work in this area and attested to him: "In Lippe, neglect of state maintenance was not least due to Suffert's lack of understanding of agricultural, forestry and plant engineering problems."

His successor as director of the Lippe State Museum was Wilhelm Hansen in 1958 .

In the early 1970s, Suffert was used to determine the enormous death toll in the Stalag 326 camp, where he had completed his military service.
